Styling a Shift Dress: Day to Night Series Part 2

Happy Thursday! This week totally flew by, but I'm certainly not complaining about it!

Earlier this week, I shared the first part of this series and I showed you how to wear a shift dress for the day time. If you missed it, you can see that post here.









For this night look, I wanted to dress up this simple dress. (I also wore this church on Sunday and it was a perfect church outfit!)
I added a printed leopard scarf because I love contrasting patterns and textures. I think the ankle strap heels and a black clutch were the perfect things to 'top off' the outfit!

I hope you've enjoyed this mini-series! If it something that you like to read about, then I'll be sure to do another one like it again! 

What's your favorite way to dress down and up and outfit for night and day?

Styling a Shift Dress: Day to Night Series

 Lately, I have really been loving shift dresses. They are a perfect staple for summer- or any season, for that matter. Shift dresses are simple pieces that can be dressed for many occasions and they are extremely versatile. 

I recently purchased this cute striped cotton shift dress from Target (on sale!) and today I'm going to show you how I wore it for a daytime look. 







For this daytime look, I kept it really casual. I love how the dress is very light-weight and loose-fitting, but it doesn't look frumpy. A statement necklace and ankle strap sandals add a little bit of glam, without being too much- in order to stay with the simple theme of the outfit. 

Be sure to check back on Thursday to see the full evening look with this dress! 

Do you have a shift dress that you love wearing? How do you like to style it? 

Thanks for reading!
