One Dress, Two Looks

For as luxurious as it might be to have a closet packed full of pieces worn exclusively for either casual or dress-up events, that's just not me. For one thing, I don't have the closet space. And for another, I demand more out of my clothes - versatility is a must if you want to earn a spot on one of my hangers.

Here's a great example of finding ways to convert pieces that you might not consider workable for both day and evening. Both looks are built around a very saucy dress from City Chic.

The dress features a sexy plunging neckline and body concious curves - perfect for date night or a cocktail party.



But with a few simple swaps, this dress is a great day option for work. A long belted sweater covers up any extra cleavage and skin, effectively creating the illusion of a striped camisole and pencil skirt underneath. Red flats and a whimsical bangle bracelet add those extra casual touches needed to really sell the outfit.
