Summer Outfits: From Day to Night

Hey everyone! So this will be our first official fashion post. Below I put together some cute outfits that display the way a simple black dress and a white v-neck, both from Forever 21, can each go from day to night by simply changing the accessories that are added to the item.

Day #1

Dress: Forever 21, Necklace: Forever 21, Tote: Delia's, Flip Flops: Havaiana's, Bikini: Delia's, Earrings: ZuluMoon.

This outfit displays the way this particular dress can be worn as a cover-up type dress, for either going to the pool or the beach. Here, the dress is paired with an oversized beach tote, a blue and green bikini, some simple hoop earrings, a tiny multi-strand beaded necklace, and some easy flip flops.

Night #1

Dress: Forever 21, Jacket: Michael Kors, Sandals: Wet Seal, Headband: Forever 21, Necklace: Tilly's.

In this outfit, the simple dress is dressed up for more of a going-out outfit. A floral headband is added for some extra color, and the ivory jacket keeps the outfit light and summery when paired with the black dress. The gladiator sandals are perfect for a night out on the boardwalk or for a dinner date, keeping the dress comfortable and casual, but still appropriate for a nicer type of outing. Finally, I chose a simple necklace to give some definition to the dress and draw some attention to the neckline.

Day #2

V-Neck: Forever 21, Swimsuit: Martha Rey, Flip Flops: Havaiana's, Necklace: Tilly's, Tote: PacSun.

A classic white v-neck is an essential part of any wardrobe, and can almost be worn anytime with anything. Here, when worn on top of a swimsuit with a pair of denim cutoff shorts, it is most definitely a beach outfit. When wearing such a simple top, make sure to add lots of color to the rest of your accessories so you don't get too washed out. Between the floral bikini, the turquoise tote, and the yellow flip flops, the white v-neck is the perfect top to wear alongside all of them.

Night #2

V-Neck: Forever 21, Skirt: Delia's, Jacket: Eryn Brinie, Necklace: Tilly's, Ankle Boots: Delia's.

For this outfit, I wanted to dress up the v-neck a little bit so I added a summery floral skirt in some bright colors. Also, when I am out at night during the summer, I always wear something that will keep my arms warm for those breezy nights. I chose a lightweight cropped jacket for this outfit to give it a little bit of an edgier look. I then added some gray ankle boots and a silver and black necklace to complete the look.

Let me know in a comment what you think of these outfits and if you have any more suggestions. I'd love to hear from you!
