Some days you know it’s going to be hectic.  You’ll be running and gunning all day.  What happens when that hectic day is ending in a date?  To get an easy day to date look, I start with basics, like this Nordstrom cashmere sweater and Paige denim combination.  Darker denim is a little dressier so I already have a head start on my evening look.  I get through a day of errands in flats, which make their own little statement in a leopard print.  The tote carries the stuff I need to get through the day.  I could have thrown on the fedora for the day look as well, but you get the idea.

Once evening hits, the switch is easy.  Trade the flats for something higher like these black suede booties.  Trade the tote for the envelope clutch to achieve a pared-down, sleek look.  Then add the pièce de résistance – this faux fur leopard scarf from Kiwi & Ellie.  It instantly dresses up the sweater with the added benefit of a soft and warm neck wrap – perfect for a chilly fall evening.  And it’s just gorgeous!  It completely transforms the mood of the sweater and continues the little animal print vibe I had started that morning with the flats.

If you’re not a hat girl, you’ll still get your day-to-date look without one, as I’ve shown in several pictures above.  I tend to like the added style of the hat.  Again, it would have added a little more to the day look if I’d thought to include it.  Mental note for next time. . .

How do you take a look from day to date?  I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Thanks for visiting!

 

Thank you Kiwi & Ellie for the gorgeous scarf!
