Let’s say you’re spending your weekend lounging in the backyard with a plate of delights hot off the grill, relaxing on the patio, iced tea in hand. Sounds like heaven, right? But suddenly your phone flashes and there’s (insert BFF’s name here), begging you to be her wingman as she cruises for man candy downtown in a few hours. Being the gracious soul that you are, you agree, but only later realize how quickly time flies when you’re having fun in the sun. You can’t meet her out looking the way you do, all casual and toned down, but you only have 15 minutes to freshen up before you head out again! Ahhhhh!

They key to transitioning from day-to-night without a complete outfit change lies in your accessorizing. You can change almost any outfit from casual and classy to glam and dramatic by simply swapping out the hardware!
