Day-to-Night Styler: Maximizing Your Style

Maxi dresses are everywhere and are not only super cute and stylish (in that boho kinda way), but they’re a perfect look for everything from shopping, museum hopping, or BBQing in the park, to a glamorous evening on the town. And all you need are a few quick changes.

You can find maxi dresses in all sorts of price ranges, but if you’re looking for less expensive versions, your best bets are Target , Wet Seal ,Charlotte Russe or Forever 21.  I love the colors and style of this dress, and the halter style works well for those of us who are on the bustier side (I would also recommend wearing a tank or a tube top underneath if you’re not wanting to Leave it to Cleavage).

For The Day:
Add some bangles, cute earrings, and a pair of turquoise sandals and you’re summery and stylish.

For The Evening:
The day is done and it’s time to meet your friends (or perhaps your summer fling) for happy hour and some bar hopping. No need to worry; just reach into your oversized bag (cuz girls, I know you all have at least one gigantor purse) for a change of shoes and earrings and you’ll be bedazzled in no time. Bonus: this look is super hot and super comfy. Yes, it’s possible to be both!

A pair of metallic espadrilles is not only sexy, but will look cute with any number of summer looks (shorts, boyfriend jeans, sundresses and skirts). And getting all that sexy height without the pain of a stiletto heel, well, that just sounds like a slice of heaven.

Swap out those casual wooden earrings for a fancier pair of chandeliers. The added sparkle will take that casual dress up a few notches and make it much more night-appropriate.

And if you wanna go super sexified and you were rockin’ out a tank/tube top underneath the dress, slip it off and show a little cleavage. Now get out there and enjoy the night!
