Day to Night Series – Red Blazer

Thanks for stopping by for the Day to Night Series! Every two weeks I will pick a different item and a different blogger. One person will style it more casually for day, and the other will dress it up for night. This week the item is a red blazer.  Kenid from Kiki Styles 101 wore her red blazer a little dressier by pairing it with a fun printed skirt, a sleek clutch, a crop top and a chunky statement necklace.  Make sure you stop by Kenid’s blog to see her outfit details. I wore my red blazer a little dressier by pairing it with black faux leather leggings, a fun printed tee and a bright orange clutch.  This is about as casual as I get (besides my Nike shorts and flip flops!) This is another one of those outfits where a lot of my items were bought off of eBay, including the Bebe leggings and the Zara heels.

I only have one picture to share, but I had a great time in Nashville this weekend.  I only ended up going for a day, but I feel like I got a lot accomplished in that one day.  First I met up with my friend Brittany Fuson (pictured.)  We had a great time catching up, and I can tell you that her new 2014 planners will be any day now!  Yes, I’m counting down!  After that, I did some shopping at Elaine Turner, and my favorite picks were these amazing booties and this gorgeous suede bag.  After that I headed to Ann Taylor for their #ChicMakeover event.  I went section by section in the entire store picking out my favorite pieces and styling them.  Which pieces did I take home?  This amazing skirt and this beautiful blouse.  Side note, I just found out today that I won the Ann Taylor #ChicMakeover contest for a $500 Ann Taylor gift card and a makeover at my favorite salon here in Memphis, Capelli.  Day made!!!  = )  Sorry, but that did warrant extra explanation points.  After Ann Taylor, I hit up the new H&M store and ended up with a faux leather biker jacket.  (not online, but this one is similar) I have had one like this on my wish list for a while, so I was excited to finally find one in the perfect length, and for only $40 after my 20% coupon!  We had lunch at 55 South in Franklin, TN, and I recommend the wedge salad with grilled shrimp.  It was so good, and had tons of avocado in it.  I hope everyone is having a great week, and I will see you tomorrow with a special What I Wore to Work post.

Linking up with Shanna, Lindsey and Alison.
