Dressed Up & Dressed Down. #GLITZTOKICKS

DRESS (SIMILAR), HEELS, NEW BALANCE’S* – BANK FASHION | EYE NECKLACE* – SOUR CHERRY | DUSTER COAT* – SAMMYDRESS | TOTE – LAZY OAF

Transitional pieces are my favourite, and since starting my Investment Wardrobe Project a little over a year ago, I’ve found when I’m looking at clothes, I tend to choose based on how much I can layer it with, or if I can take it from day to night with ease. Great minds think alike it seems as the fine folk over at BANK FASHION had the same idea with their #GLITZTOKICKS campaign, so today I’m showing you guys how to dress up or dress down one dress (i’ll stop saying dress now). Ironically when I’m going out to paint the town red I don’t actually do too much, and I actually make more of an effort in the daytime! So for an evening I usually keep it simple, a shift dress, some heels and a small bag. For the second look I layered the dress with a pair of burgundy new balance, a plain grey tee, some kitsch jewellery and of course this season’s must have the ‘Duster Coat’. A super simple outfit for running errands! I specifically chose the style of dress as I find shift dresses to be the most versatile in terms of styling and I know I’ll be able to wear it through winter with some cool tights and a good Breton tee!

Let me know how you take your outfits from day to night! (PS Thank you for all the sweet comments on my last post! <3)
