From street party to state function....

























Todays post is about highlighting how easily an outfit can be taken from day to night with the addition (or indeed subtraction) of a few key items.... Read on to learn more.


Street party style should be relaxed and effortless, so a basic shorts and tee combo (with a twist) is always a safe bet! My shorts were light gray high-waisted culottes with colourful spoldges. To these I added a loose black vest top, with small detailing on the pocket. My shoes were plain black ballerinas, allowing the focus to remain on the shorts and were also complemented by a sparkly silver watch and classic Wayfarers.






Bringing the outfit to nightwear was done by replacing my casual vest with a loose black silk pussy-bow blouse. I added black tights to lengthen my legs and popped on some extremely high burgundy heels. Simplicity is key so the base of the outfit was black, letting the statement shorts take the limelight. The burgundy shoes were an addition of some more colour but remained in keeping with the darker tones.


So there it is folks, day to night, plus and minus a few key items.....




The bare essentials:

Vest: Dunnes

Shoes: Primark
