DAY and NIGHT in FLORALS!

Hello everyone, 

If you know me, you'll know that for me florals are present all year round, not only in the spring/summer or in the form of dresses and skirts, but in everything. This print lifts up my mood especially during the colder days and always makes me feel like spring and summer are a day away (when they really aren't). 
Because this love of mine will never die, just like the love I have for adding a new staple piece to my wardrobe, I decided to create two different looks with the same floral shirt. What separates them is that one is for the day, which may consist of going to brunch or running errands and the other is for the night, which may consist of going out for dinner or drinks. You choose the place and I'll meet you there!     


Here are a few pointers to keep in mind when getting ready for the day:

1. During the day it's usually hotter, so roll those shirt sleeves up to the elbows and if you're wearing high-rise bottoms, you can tie the ends together into a knot giving shape and style to your upper body.                                                                                                                                                        
2. Because you'll most likely be walking around and standing on your feet during the day, make sure that you're wearing comfortable shoes with a tiny wedge if you want them to feel like heels. Save the high heels for the night!                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               
3. To feel more feminine, instead of going for the regular choice of shorts for the daytime, pick a skirt that will look great with your shirt, fits you well and makes you feel beautiful.                                                                                                                                                                        
4. Add a tiny crossbody bag like the way I did only for your must-have essentials because a huge bag can be heavy and tiring to carry around during the hotter days.                                                                                                                                                                                        
5. When it comes to jewelry, I would suggest adding a few of your more dainty pieces for the day because you'll feel more free with less weight around your neck, you'll look effortlessly ready and sometimes a little jewelry goes a long way.

Here are a few pointers to keep in mind when getting ready for the night: 

1. You can definitely style a night look with the same shirt you wore during the day. Your life just got one step easier and you saved yourself some time! You're welcome.                                                                                                                                                                                                  
2. Like I did, leave the sleeves nice and long because it might get chilly at night. Plus, this way you'll look more chic and night ready.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             
3. This is the time to wear those high heels that have been staring at you all day (only if they had eyes). I went for my favorite black lace-up heels that I know will make a statement.                                                                                                                                                                     
4. Change the daytime skirt into something else that makes you feel sexy. For me that is faux leather leggings. They're attractive, easy to slip on and easy to move in.                                                                                                                                                                                       
5. In place of the dainty necklace, put a big statement piece that works well with your shirt and the rest of the outfit. Or instead, go for statement chandelier earrings that will steal the show. I chose to add some color with mine.                                                                                                                                                                                                            
6. Leave the crossbody bag at home and go for the nearest/cutest clutch you have. Fill it with your true essentials and you're more than ready to have some fun.

Whether you're going out for dinner or running the usual errands, I hope this post gave you an idea of what to wear. Also, I hope it proved that taking one shirt or your favorite piece of clothing can work both for the day and night. All you have to do is make a few changes in the accessories and you're ready to rock.
