Day-to-Night Styler: Turn Back Time

Vintage/vintage-inspired fashion is a great way to add a fun flair to the every day. Why wear a simple cotton dress when you can easily bring a unique retro look into the mix? I’m all about playing with fashion, so this week’s Day-to-Night Styler is taking a trip down memory lane. I found a darling 50′s style dress that can smoothly transition from day to night and look totally bangin’ wherever you decide to wear it.

Start with a cute, 50′s-inspired halter dress. This particular style is from Forever 21, but I also found some super cute dresses in this cut (but with fun prints, like leopard) at H&M. The halter cut and the cinched waist do wonders to give a gal that hourglass figure.

For the Day:
You wanna keep it simple, so go with a basic pair of black flats and some black stud earrings. This will keep the outfit casual without being sloppy, and the minimal accessories will draw all the attention where it should be: on the dress.

An oversized red tote is the perfect way to give your outfit a little punch and also to covertly carry around a change of shoes and some extra accessories to make your outfit evening ready.

For The Night:
As the sun sets and the time comes to vamp it up, a quick shoe change, the addition of some accessories and some red lipstick make this ensemble pop.

Red heels always liven up an oufit, and the mary jane/peep-toe mix on these make them the perfect pair to add to the retro look.

An over-sized cocktail ring totally adds to the 50′s style, and if you really wanna go all out, add in a flowered hair clip, headband or hairpiece. Just stop there; between the red shoes and the detailing on the dress, you don’t want to go overboard.

For the ultimate pin-up look, slather on some red lipstick (just choose the right shade!) and you’ll be lookin’ like a vixen in no time flat.
