Stylish Day Dresses That Work Seamlessly From Day To Night
Maybe you’re living in NYC, perhaps you’re just swooning over the stylish day dresses of the lucky ones who do. Either way, I have your spring day-to-night looks covered. Firstly, I’m taking inspiration from the throw-on-and-go vibes of Upper East Side style icons. How? I’m adding the Manuela dress by Love Shack Fancy to my lineup before it inevitably sells out. The ideal daylight soiree dress, pair it with heels and a cute shoulder bag for best dresses guest status at any event. For example, I recommend the Bari 101mm metallic leather sandals by Schutz and the micro bow bouclé tote by Self Portrait for your next event.
Meanwhile, I consider the Lima mini dress by Agua Bendita a must-have for spring and summer plans. Firstly, this dress works perfectly with chunky knitwear and chic flats for brunch dates and spring strolls around your favorite park. Secondly, when day plans change to evening ones and you want to style it up, simply add a pair of strappy heels to transform your outfit. For the former, I recommend pairing this eternally pretty dress with the versatile small leather handbag by Prada. Lastly, subtly highlight the hardware on your bag and elevate the blue in your dress with the gold Izzie knotted leather sandals by Loeffler Randall.
