From Day to Night: Plain White Tee & Sequins

Okay, picture this: (makes sweeping hand gestures) you want to go out on the town on a whim but you don't want to put in the effort to really "get ready". Sound familiar? Well, don't even fret about it! All you need is something with a little shimmer and shine to spruce up even the most basic outfit.

My day outfit was a pair of skinny jeans and a comfy cute basic white tee. Not exactly night on the town or after work drink attire, meh. My solution? I reached for one of many sparkly toppers to see if I could pull off a quick transition that wouldn't require gobs of time getting ready.
The result? Pretty darn chic if you ask me.

I opted for a thrifted, vintage Oscar De La Renta blazer dripping with sequins, a fun clutch I had purchased for a holiday party a few years back and some knock-out glamorous J. Crew statement earrings.

 Chances are you have some if not all of these key pieces to take a casual look into night in a snap. Your blazer doesn't have to be covered in sequins, any topper can really bring the look into more of an evening look and you'll get the added benefit of warmth if the night brings in a cold front. You could wear a statement necklace in lieu of earrings and instead of a clutch you could change your shoes. By adding one or two more pieces to your basic day time look you can easily elevate your outfit to happy hour status.

What are your go to pieces for transition from day to night?
