Day to Dinner
Ever since I've worked in fashion (which has been about 8yrs now), the expression "day to dinner" has been such a buzz phrase. The older I've gotten though, the more I realize how important it is to have some great day to dinner pieces in your wardrobe!In case you haven't heard this phrase...what it means is that you're able to wear an outfit to work that transitions seamlessly to dinner that night - whether it be happy hour with girlfriends or a date night with your man. It's a look that's "work appropriate" but still fun/trendy enough to let you go to dinner that night in style!
Cape/Vest | Charcoal Dress | Over the Knee Boots (similar version) | Clutch (same shape, different color) | Earrings | Necklace
Some stores that I think offer great options for this look: LOFT, J. Crew, Banana Republic, and of course Nordstrom.This look featured here is perfect for "day to dinner" because it can be professional (not too much skin showing, classy charcoal + black color combo), but the body contour dress and trendy cape-like vest make this a fun going out outfit as well! And I love that you could wear both of these pieces separately and in so many different ways.Shop my outfit here!:[show_shopthepost_widget id="490616"]Photos by Melanie Foster
Tuesday Trends: Capes + Vests
With hundreds and hundreds of fashion magazines reporting on hundreds and hundreds of trends for Fall, attempting to find these trends when out shopping can get a bit overwhelming. Lo & I wanted to highlight just two of the trends for Fall that we are loving right now -- capes and vests!I am currently obsessed with vests of all shapes & sizes - the puffer vest, vests for activewear, and am especially loving this long vest I found recently at Anthro! I wore mine casual with booties (side note - these might rival my madewell booties which I'm so in love with), but you could jazz it up with a leather legging as well!
