Day to Night Dressing


During the warmer months, one of my favorite looks for any occasion is a sundress.  It is such a practical item for a career woman on the go because the look can easily be taken from day to evening with just a few accessories.  A sundress can be perfectly work appropriate.  If you cannot show your shoulders or even your arms in the office, simply throw on a cardigan or a stylish blazer to add modesty and polish to your look.  A sundress works just as easily for a night out.  And trust me, men love girls in sundresses.  Why else would they love summer so much?

Day:



Start with a simple A-line sundress (the bow on this dress adds a touch of femininity and the mint green shade is on trend for this season).  Add a cardigan in a contrasting color, such as this mustard yellow.  Add some more color to the outfit with a simple orange necklace, and then make the outfit really pop with a pair of floral printed shoes.  Since there is already a lot of color going on in the outfit, stick to a neutral, ladylike day bag.

Night:  


It does not take much to transform this dress into something appropriate for a party or dinner date.  Replace the cardigan with a blazer (white feels fresh for summer) and slip into a pair of bright fuchsia pumps for a playful look.  Finish off the outfit with some colorful and whimsical flower-shaped earrings.
