Hi there gorgeous people. I hope you are having a great week so far. Time seems to be flying by so fast with festive spirits and good times to be had. Everyone is busy at this time of year, but it shouldn't be all work and no play. This is why outfits that take you from day to night are the best thing ever. Imagine you are at work, Xmas shopping or lunching with friends and you have a call or email to attend a party, drinks with friends or an event later that day. Trouble is you have no time to go home first to get ready. Have no fear because day to night outfits are possible.
I have been collaborating with Rob from Boohoo to create this fantastic advent calendar of accessories for this post. Each line of the calendar has a bag. I have chosen other accessories that I think will work well with each bag, but I thought why stop there.
I have chosen 6 dresses that are very wearable for the daytime, but will sail you through into the evenings festivities too. Each dress has been chosen to wear alongside my advent calendar 'Winter Wishes'.
Dress 1 (Doors 1-4, 1st Line)
I actually love this dress in both this design and the black and white reversed. See link for the other design. This has a real winter scene like snow fallen trees at night. I imagine someone who works in an art gallery wearing this by day and attending the coolest wine bar with friends by night. A truly sophisticated look.
The boots I originally picked are no longer in stock so I have added the suedette version in the link above.
The ring stacks can be worn with so many outfits. I would buy both sets to mix and match like the hardware on the clutch bag. There only appears to be silver available at the moment, but hopefully the gold will come back in stock.
I would wear the tan belt to break up the dress and work alongside the boots.
Dress 2 (Doors 5-8, 2nd Line)
With the comfort of the knitted material comes sexy medieval style with this studded armour dress.
The playful autumnal headband and over the knee socks will bring out your inner elf. The wine shade have now sold out. As an alternative I would pick the charcoal shade.
The buckled boots match well with the dress embellishments too.
Go from strolling in a winter wonderland setting to dinner with your beau.
Dress 3 (Doors 9-12, 3rd Line)
Who can go wrong with a LBD? 3/4 sleeves will keep out the chill at this time of year. This is a very girl next door look that could take you from Sunday lunch with your family to a few drinks at your local with friends.
The bowler hat adds a cute effect to the patent vixen boots.
I have kept the style of the bag the same as in the calendar, but as that shade has sold out I have linked the cream above. This actually comes in a bold yellow too.
The cobalt nails are a welcome contrast against this muted palette.
Dress 4 (Doors 13-16, 4th Line)
With the bold turban and the tattoo tights this look has an almost mystical circus theme behind it.
The boots, flowy smock dress and duffle bag make it easy to go from out shopping with the girls to a pamper night in.
Dress 5 (Doors 17-20, 5th Line)
This dress combined with the gold details of the shoes, bag and necklace portrays a classy vibe.
Perfect for the retail girl who wants to party all night.
The pink and purple are a great colour block combo.
Dress 6 (Doors 21-24, 6th Line)
This dress is such a hot shade. The sexy reveal of the shoulders along with the legs is gorgeous. For the up town girl at meetings all day that wants to see in the New Year in style.
The detailed boots, necklace and tights add a cool edge to an otherwise simple outfit.
The black tassel bag I originally picked has sold out, but this alternative clutch is just gorgeous for you to sparkle day and night.
I hope that this post has inspired you to find some day to night outfits. I am sorry that some items have sold out from the original calendar, but I think I have found some great alternatives and I hope you do too.
