Day to Night

New York and Company blouse, American Eagle jacket, J. Crew Factory skirt, Steve Madden wedges, Target bag, Gemmy Junky necklace, kate spade earrings & sunnies



I'm so excited to be the first participant in Laura's new series, Day to Night! We have exactly the same skirt, so we decided to share two ways to style it, whether you're out running errands or going on a hot date!

I took the daytime look and chose to pair my skirt with a boyfriend style jacket and espadrilles. Looking back, I should have worn flat sandals, but since the skirt is a bit long on me and I haven't been to the tailor, I wore wedges to add a little extra height. Ideally, I'd throw on my leather & glitter sandals!

The Denim Jacket

1. Victoria's Secret  2. Gap  3. American Eagle  4. J. Crew

The denim jacket is a classic staple that many people misjudge. Yes, it was popular when I was in middle school and yes, I wore it with boring khaki pants and a white shirt. No, it is never O.K. to match it to your jeans, but there are so many other ways you can style it, because like I said, it's a classic staple! Floral dresses, pencil skirts, patterned tees, colored shorts, oxford button-downs... the options are really endless! They're perfect for spring days and summer nights when you need a light layer and look great paired with boots in the fall!

I still have my Aeropostale denim jacket from middle school and I am proud to admit it still fits and a little embarrassed to admit I still wear it occasionally. I think it's time for an update, don't you? My perfect denim jacket is softly worn with a relaxed fit and medium wash, which I think maximizes its versatility. These are the best and most affordable options I have found under $100.

Which do you like best?
