Night & Day

 

We’ve all said it: there just don’t seem to be enough hours in a day! As a busy woman on the go if I can find ways to maximize my wardrobe and budget, I’m all for it. While shopping is definitely a favorite pastime, being able to stretch the pieces already in my closet helps to save both money and time; things I’m sure we all wish we had more of. The looks featured on this post are an example of how to take basic separates and make them work for you both day and night.

 
 

This $20 mocha colored off-the-shoulder sweatshirt from Fashion Nova (www.fashionnova.com) has quickly become one of my favorites. The neutral color goes with just about everything and the wide neckline and cropped hem make it a stylish, yet non-fussy choice to complement a number of bottoms. Your most comfortable jeans, shorts, joggers or even a maxi skirt are all viable options for creating a simple yet stylish look for running errands. Dress it up with heels or down with flats/sandals and you’re good to go. The right accessories (cute bag, fabulous sunnies, etc.) also go a long way toward adding pizazz to a basic ensemble.

 

 

There’s no need to trade comfort for style when evening comes around. The right pieces make it more than possible to achieve both objectives. The versatility of this sweatshirt is simply amazing (now do you see why it’s become my favorite?!). This time I went for a monochromatic look, a tried and true style trick that instantly adds a bit of class to any ensemble. All black, all white, all gray…you get the idea. Style icons like Kim Kardashian and J. Lo have shown us how it’s done countless times. When worn with a sleek pencil skirt, like this $40 metallic knit number from JLux Label (www.jluxlabel.com),  the same basic cotton sweatshirt maintains its style factor and easily transitions to an evening look. Slightly shift the wide neckline for an off-the-shoulder touch, add a pair of strappy sandals (www.charlotterusse.com, $20) and you achieve subtle sexiness, perfect for date night or an evening out with the girls and all for less than $100. Winning!!

So there you have it. The key to being able to make the most of what you have lies in sticking to your budget and selecting pieces that are versatile and simple. Look for clean silhouettes, basic colors and palettes and separates that flatter your figure, camouflage any problem areas and just make you feel like million bucks, even if you only spent a few 😉
