day + night

I thought I'd give y'all examples of my "day and night" outfits.  These obviously vary a little, but for the most part, my versions tend to stay similar to the outfits below.  I am one of the lucky people that doesn't have a dress code at work.  I've mentioned before that our 2 restrictions are 1) no pajamas and 2) no workout clothing.  You would think it's a no-brainer to stay clear of these two choices, but obviously someone in our offices has decided their bedroom attire is fit for clients to view.  

With that being said, I'm usually a mix of dressy casual, aka something on me is usually cotton and I wear flats or sandals most days.  In the summer temps I live in easy skirts or pants and basic tops.  Like today, I am wearing white skinny jeans, a chambray top, and my trusty TB rain flats [I had my hunter boots on, but the rain had yet to pour].  This nasty, annoying rain has forced us Atlantans, and basically any others living in the South, to alter their summer 'drobes for the time being, but on a typical sunny day I'll be in a skirt.  Specifically, the one below.  I wear it A LOT and plan on wearing it even more with my new pineapple top and statement necklaces.

When it comes to night time attire, you'll find me in a cute, but comfortable dress, heels [usually wedges], and fun, simple jewelry.  That's my uniform and it works every time.

The Ultimate Maxi

The greatest find when shopping is a piece you know will be versatile.  Versatile in a way that shortens your deliberation time to a fraction of the original.  The most difficult kind for me is the piece that will work for day to night, but various events.  Such as brunch, eating out, concerts, shopping, but also weddings, dinners, and parties in general.  I have numerous things in my closet that work for different day time events or work to play, but very few of them also work for a more upscale event like a wedding.  

When I saw this Lovers + Friends maxi I immediately knew it would be the piece in my closet that filled this gap.  I am obsessed with the back details and the fact that I own NOTHING like this in my closet.  Such a beautiful, bright print.  More so, if you can wait a month, Her Element is getting this dress back in stock for $40 cheaper than Revolve's price.  Why do I know this?  Because I'm cheap and noticed H.E.'s had gone out of stock and quickly emailed them to make sure they were getting more.  I have a wedding in May that I know I'll wear this to, as well as a few more over the Summer months and into Fall that it will be perfect for too.  I'll be keeping it simple with  black and gold accessories to make sure the print is showcased [like it could be missed].
