Day 2 Nite
No time to change before a nite out? No Problem: Day 2 nite in 3 accessories or less! Ok, I know that this is not THE party outfit for a well-deserved Friday or Saturday night out but it is do-able. I've seen those articles in magazines and on tv of fashion critics telling us 'regular people' how to go from day to night in just a few small changes to your outfit. well, i'm not sure about everyone else but it always seems that their day look was pretty close to what I would call a party outfit already. OR the 'few small changes' included expensive and unlikely items that I wouldn't possess due to Day 2 Nite by danettecj featuring long sleeve shirts
simple differences in taste.
So, my answer was to create a Day 2 Night look that was more likely to happen to me.
So bear with me. Its fall but still relatively warm for this time of year, at least in the
southeast where I live. So an over-sized sweatshirt, tights/leggings, some fuzzy
slippers and a hat if I wanted to venture outside (probably the backyard). Now,
I don't know why this happens but it always does: I'll want to stay in & have a quiet night
in every once in a while and thats the time my friends will convince me to go out WITH
NO NOTICE AT ALL! Whether I'm hanging at a friend's place and am forced to go out or if people
just happen to show up and drag me out, there's never enough time to really change (& agonize for 30 minutes over what to wear). But there are a few accessory changes that can help you blend in better
with the night-life.
1. a small black clutch with a bit of bling instantly makes nearly any outfit more night time appropriate
2. a long necklace dresses up the sweatshirt and draws attention to the jewelry while accenting the shirt

3. high heeled, knee-high boots brings some sex appeal to any outfit whereas ankle boots tend to look
chunky. There you have it! Day to Night (realistically) in 3 accessory changes or less. Things that most
women have in their closet. Which means if you find yourself over at a friends house with little to no time
to get ready for a night on the town you can probably borrow most of these items from her!

Indian Summer
If where you live is anything like where I live, then you are experiencing that final burst of summer weather. RELISH IT! Wear those shorts one last time before packing them up, never to be seen again until next summer. Play around with colors and thin layers that you can show off all day before that over-sized coat becomes the key piece around which the rest of your outfit revolves. Most importantly GO OUTSIDE! Fluorescent lighting does nothing for those clothes you spent sooo much money on buying and that outfit you spent sooo much time putting together. Nothing makes a wardrobe pop like the sun and natural surroundings.

Dreams of Color Blocking
Pattern Mash-Up
You've got to love your 20s: you're old enough to really claim your own personal style, but still young enough to experiment with patterns, and colors without looking as if you're trying too hard. Take advantage of that! Just because its fall doesn't mean that your wardrobe should suffer from pattern & color deficiency. Don't be afraid to mix and match patterns or even to color block in the fall. It'll give any would-be plain outfit a new lease on life (& save you money from buying a whole new fall wardrobe).
