For those of you who know me, you know that I am almost always wearing all black. And no, it’s not because I hate color, or think it’s slimming (although it is), or even want to fall into the typical “fashion girl” stereotype of head to toe black.
The real reason for it is because it is THE easiest thing to transition from day to night. And as a girl who is working full time, and heading to fashion shows afterwards, having an easy transition is an absolute must.
When Tucson Fashion Week approached me asking me to be their Featured Blogger of the Month for May I was BEYOND thrilled. Couture in the Suburbs absolutely adores Tucson Fashion Week (we had a great time at their show back in October. See the story here) and couldn’t be more excited to partner with them on a story.
Their request was a fashion blogger’s take on a day to night look. My answer: All Black Everything.
Lately, I have been extra obsessed with long flowy skirts. They are surprisingly cool during the warm days we are having here in AZ and look much more elegant than shorts in my opinion.
When you’re wearing all black, statement accessories are a must. I typically curate jewelry from a variety of places from Forever 21 to Kendra Scott. I love digging through my jewelry stash and figuring out new ways to mix metals, textures and shapes. I try and challenge myself to never wear the exact same combination with the same outfit.
And lately, I’ve been switching out my daytime heels for some fun leopard print and glitter smoking shoes. Although I’m brought back down to my normal height of 5’8″, I’m enjoying this more casual style for running around in the yard with my dogs, or even a quick trip to the Phoenix Premium Outlets.
For night, I threw off the hat, fluffed my hair, and added this cool metallic jacket. I love adding a statement piece to an all black ensemble to make it look more interesting and eye catching at night.
I also toned down the jewelry since the jacket was such a statement. I opted for a single silver pendant that reflected the texture of the jacket perfectly.
And, of course, I had to throw on some tall shoes! I chose my beat up military style platform boots to add some height, and toughen up the look. Now, I’m all set for dinner, drinks, or even a fashion show!
Like I said before, you can’t go wrong with all black, especially if you lead the busy #LifeofaFashionBlogger!
