Switch & Swap: How to Create a Daytime to Nighttime Look

When transitioning from day to night you don't have to change your entire outfit. By switching and swapping a few accessories (changing your shoes, and adding a different lip color) it can take your outfit to the next level.

Today's post will show you how to take a basic outfit and transition it from sunset to sunrise!

LEATHER, DENIM, FUR, AND GOLD
If you've followed my blog for a while you know I have a love affair with leather. There is nothing better than sporting luxe leather pieces then adding denim, fur, and/or gold. It's the perfect balance of pulling off a daytime sleek to nighttime chic look seamlessly! 

Daytime Look:
:: Denim Jacket: Forever 21::
:: Leather Tee with Sheer Back: Off the 5th::
:: Cognac "Lauren Conrad" Leather Shorts: Kohl's::
:: Sneaker Wedges: Target::
:: Layered Lock & Key Necklace: Forever 21::

FYI: I used the same leather tee and leather shorts as the foundation for the day to night look.

Nighttime Look:
::Black Fur Vest: Forever 21::
:: Leather Tee with Sheer Back: Off the 5th::
:: Cognac "Lauren Conrad" Leather Shorts: Kohl's::

MASTERING TRANSITIONING FROM DAY TO NIGHT: THE RECAP
When you're going from morning to evening looks remember these simple tips to ramp up your look:
1. Pick a clean base palette (Ex: Blouse and skirt, jeans and tee, leather shirt and shorts etc.)
2. Add or swap your top layer (Ex: Exchange a denim jacket for a blazer, or a cardigan to a moto jacket)
3. Switch up your accessories (Ex: Swap out a layered necklace for a bold statement piece)
4. Swap the shoes to distinguish between the daytime look and nighttime outfit (Ex: Exchange your sneakers or ballet flats for a pair of sexy pumps or booties)
5. Change the lip color (Ex: Go from a soft nude to a bold red lip)

If you follow these simple tips you will be sure to turn heads during the daytime and night!
