Ah, I can’t believe the weekend is over already! I’ve been so busy this weekend that I didn’t get a chance to post, but I’m back today with one outfit styled two different ways to make up for it. That’s kinda like two posts right? 🙂
I found this Forever 21 dress a few months ago and fell in love with the color and the asymmetrical ruffle neckline. For the 105 degree Saturday, I decided it was going to be the perfect dress to wear day to night.
For the daytime, I wore it straight across as a tube-top dress paired my favorite statement necklace of the moment. I love the combination of coral, mint, and white for the summer so pairing up these pieces was a no brainer. I decided to switch the neckline to be a straight tube top cut to let the statement necklace stand out on its own instead of competing with the asymmetrical ruffles.
Belt: Express Mesh Elastic Belt (old) (safety pinned tighter) – S / $30 (similar)
Shoes: Steven by Steve Madden Lollyy (old) – 5.5 (similar)
The evening transition was as simple as removing the statement necklace and re-instating the asymmetrical neckline. Throw on a sparkly waist belt, some silver sparkly shoes, and I was ready for my night out! On the agenda for me? I had an evening wedding reception out in Arlington. Hours of good food and catching up with good friends!
I hope everyone had a great weekend!

You are so creative. I didn't know that this type of dress can be styled two ways. I love both the day and night look…. You look cute. 😉
That red dress looks great on you. Love how you styled this dress in two different ways. Always so stylish and so creative with your outfits.

To me, wedges are a perfect for a casual day look. Your night look is amazing! The added sparkle tops your evening look off well.

I love the way you turned it into a strapless dress. It's such a pretty color!
I love this dress both ways! I love your accessories too.
How clever to do a day-to-night post. I truly looove looove this dress. Definitely versatile since it can be worn multiple ways.
I love the dress!! And a super clever way to wear it during the day (I would have never thought of it!).

pretty !love your necklace!xxx
I like the way you styled the evening wear, but can't tell if you wore earrings. w/asymetrical, I like to take that time to wear nice earrings so as to NOT take away from the interesting neckline, but also to complete the framing of the face.
i did wear some earrings when I went with the asymmetrical look for the
evening! i chose some simple long CZ earrings that you can kinda see in the
second to last photo. I agree that something to frame the face is
definitely needed. I opted against dangly earrings for the very reason that
I didn't want it to distract away from the neckline either. 🙂
That is one of the best and most simple day to night looks ever. I would have never have thought that that dress is so versatile. You look stunning in both and I also like your mix of coral and mint. Very nice.
Cheers,
Bre

Ok, you have officially just blown my mind – I LOVE versatile pieces! The night look in particular is just stunning – you make it look so gorgeous!
That dress was a good buy and the ability to wear to different looks is a extreme plus. I love your necklace and my turquoise one finally arrived today! I can't wait to style it! Very cute outfit!
That's such a versatile dress! I like that the mesh belt instantly blinged up the dress for the evening. You look lovely.
What a coincidence, I did a similar thing with my outfit in my previous post. Changing AM to PM, but it was for a challenge I took part in.
I love red dresses! I just went on my recent holiday and was abit skeptical wearing my red dresses, but then i realise how the red colour really suited me! You look fab in red!!
I love the day to night! What a difference it makes! I really love the way you styled it for night! So pretty!!!
Well isn't that clever? I love both looks. The belt in the second look is fabulous.
I simply ADORE that dress for evening Kileen, it's beautiful!!
This is such an adorable dress. I love its versatility, and the color paired with the necklace is amazing. Great way to remix a dress!
Thanks so much! I've had to get used to wearing bright dresses too but I love how it brightens my face! 🙂
Kileen
Aww thank you so much!
Kileen
i love how you took that dress from day to night! both looks are fabulous!!

What a brilliant want to re-invent the dress. 🙂 Both looks are wonderful, Kileen, but I think I like the 'day' look a tad more.. maybe because it's paired with an amazing statement necklace!
I hope you're doing great.. here's to a wonderful week.
xx Love & Aloha
The dress looks wonderful both ways, and i SO love the color combo with the necklace!
I lala-LOVE your necklace. I saw one similar to it by Burberry, I believe. I love that yours was only $35 in comparison to what I'm sure Burberry was charging, haha.
thank you so much sharon!
I woudl have never even thought of wearing a one-shouldered dress as a straight-across tube. I guess it'd only work if there was a ruffle there, right? Or else everyone would see the arm hole? Anyway, both ways are super cute. Love the color on you!
