Day-to-Night Styler: Everything’s Coming Up Roses

floral-trend.jpg

Floral prints are flirty, feminine and perfect for spring/summer.  Have no fear! Finding floral prints that don’t resemble your grandmother’s couch is easy these days, as the oh-so-classic rose print got some modern touches this season.

You can find an assortment of styles & prints in a vast price range, but for those of us on a recessionista budget, this dress on sale for 60% off (!) at Nordstrom is a great bet. It’s light & casual enough for running errands, going to summer school or just chillin’ with friends, but can be easily vamped up for night time with a switch of the bra and a few extra accessories.

For the Day:
Just throw on some cute red flats and you’ll be set. The dress has so much detail, you don’t need much else! I love the peep toe on this shoe – it’s obviously dressier than a flip flop, but the buckle and open toe make it perfectly acceptable for daytime fun. Just make sure your toes are peep worthy.

For the Night:
Now it’s time to hit the bars or go on a date with your summer hottie and you wanna put a little more za za zoo into your look. Just add some teardrop earrings, dainty bracelets, and a pair of red wedges and you’ve got an equally stylish nighttime look. (And if you’re really turning up the heat, a push up bra wouldn’t hurt….)

red wedges

With this look, there’s no doubt your style will be in full bloom.

Weekly Wrap Up: Thank You, World

Thanksgiving is less than a week away. That means you’ve got six days to hit the gym and eat healthfully in an attempt to make up for the massive amounts of fat, sugar and tryptophan about to hit your bloodstream. (Unless you’re currently single, in which case you’re probably mainlining cake frosting at this very moment.) I’m getting sleepy just thinking about it.
