Here's the challenge: "Restyle a glamorous look that you would typically wear for a night-out-on-the-town into daytime casual wear. Easy right? Bonus points if you can restyle it for work!"
Let me start by saying that this challenge had me realize that I hardly go out at night to get the chance to dress up! So creating these looks took quite a bit of thought. Also, when dressing up for going out/fancy occasions, I try to keep my outfits very ladylike and sophisticated, just because it's out of the ordinary for "going out" outfits. (In Arizona... hardly anyone knows how to dress compared to the East Coast!). So let's begin!
First we start off the the "night on the town" outfit, which includes two of my favorite pieces...
I couldn't make up my mind with the shoes. I think the red pumps are more appropriate for a fun holiday party, while the nude pumps would work for a more sophisticated occasion. I'm not very good at putting together going-out outfits, but I would definitely wear this to a party or a get together with friends. And of course, for the cooler months I'd add some tights and maybe layer a cardigan.
And to switch it up for day time...
Essentially, all I did was keep the sequin skirt and tuck in a sheer tee! I love how casual this outfit is. Even for a sequin skirt, it seems surprisingly subtle and just right for day time. Bare legs and sandals have me daydreaming about spring time already! :)
Night:
Blouse: Gap (old)
Skirt: J. Crew factory (old now!)
Red pumps: Gianni Binni (old)
Nude Pumps: Steve Madden Ulltra in blush
Day:
Skirt: J. Crew factory
Top: Hollister Co. (so old)
Sandals: Gap (old)
Pearls: Taken from my grandma's jewelry box
I hope this post will suffice! :) I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone else has come up with for this PFC!
Cute looks. Love them both! Sequins are definitely suitable for both day & night time ; )
ReplyDeleteVery cute! I can't decide between your two dressy shoe options either...I like them both!
ReplyDeleteThat skirt is amazing on you! I love it with the bow blouse but even more with the simple T. So beautiful!
ReplyDeletelove the neutrals, especially with the pop of red color...like those red pumps!
ReplyDeleteGreat job. I love the red shoe with your outfit.
ReplyDeleteGreat job! I like how you paired the skirt w/a tee for daytime :)
ReplyDeleteAdorable looks! Personally I love the red pumps with the first look - that pop of color is just the right addition to make the look really "glam".
ReplyDeleteLove the netural blouse with the sequin skirt, very chic! (and I agree with some of the comments below, red shoes!) Great casual look too, love the color of the t-shirt :)
ReplyDeleteoh wow, I'm loving how everyone is showing me how to wear a sequined skirt. You did such a great job, I really like it with the simple T!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely the red pumps!
ReplyDeleteBoth outfits are really pretty. Good work on the PFC.

Thank you, everyone, for your comments! :)
ReplyDeletesuch a beautiful skirt. my fave is the look with the red shoes. you have a very nice proportioned figure. :)
ReplyDeleteI somehow missed your post right after the PFC! Glad I found it now. I love the sequin skirt with your bow blouse--so lovely and classic. I think you can do either nude or red pumps and look fabulous and festive. I love how the skirt transitions seamlessly from "evening out" to "running errands." Great job on this challenge!
