From Day to Night

It takes a real fashionista to transform a casual outfit for the day into something fancy for the night. Sometimes, you just need to change the shoes. Sometimes, adding a jacket will change everything. Or, maybe the jewels can make a difference! As our members demonstrate, your wardrobe doesn't need to be full of expensive clothes, you just need a bit of creativity!

Christopher Kane for Topshop alligator dress.

"The key item I'm wearing is the alligator dress from Christopher Kane for Topshop. During the day I'm wearing it as a top on a maxi skirt and leather jacket. But during a night out I'm just wearing it as a dress teamed up with suede wedges and my own made bag." Joyce

"The common element of these looks is my chiffon Milly blouse. I wore it with a short black skirt for a night out, under a checked dress to school, and casually under silk overalls to hang out with friends." Lida

"I recently bought this amazing snake dress, so perfect for summer! You can really easily wear it day AND night! For example, with a denim shirt underneath for the day; and with a sequined jacket, it's just perfect for a night out!"

"The sweet Carline from cottonink-shop send me this amazing dress with 2 straps. It is a dress that can be worn several ways. This dress can easily be turned from day to night, because with one dress I can create two different outfits. How amazing is that?" Jony

"Going from day to night does not need a complete outfit change. Throwing on a cropped top or adding a sexier pair of heels can make your day outfit fancier for the night." Anna Katrina

"I got this dress about a year ago and at first, I only wore it as a day wear with some simple sandals and maybe a string of black pearls. Eventually, it occurred to me that this dress could be easily converted into something to wear on a night-out on the town, so I worked the accessories a little bit like for example, opting for high heels instead of casual sandals and adding a hairpiece with a veil, a sparkling bracelet and my favourite Escada sunglasses for added mystery. I'm still amazed how a dress, and a rather simple one too, can be so versatile! I think it's all about the right accessories and of course, the right mood:)" Marianna
