Daytime to Date night in 60 seconds

We are so lucky!

Thanks to Sydney and Elaine, we are all getting so educated in the fashion department! And now we are even luckier because we found another beautifully talented expert from www.trulymodlydeeply.com to share even more fashion tips with all of us!

Girls, meet Cristi Dame.

Hello there new How Does She friends… I’m Cristi Dame and new around here. I am SUPER EXCTED to share and RECEIVE styling tips with you every other Friday! I am a mom by day, a photographer, blogger, counselor, and wife by night. So, like many of you- I wear many hats (literally- I love hats!) and constantly have to adapt my wardrobe to each occasion.

Sometimes, it feels as though I am like Clark Kent bolting into a telephone booth and quickly transforming into something totally different…Superman. Any other Geminis out there with that same problem?

That is why I am introducing you to my “two for one special.”

It is taking my  typical every day look and transforming it into a simple yet sexy look in no time at all…as quickly as Clark becomes Superman.

I am serious- it only took me just over 60 seconds to transform this:

“Day Time”  Look

To this “Date Night” Look:

Here’s how simple and fast it was…

First I ditched the coat, leggings, head piece, and sweater boots.

Then I replaced them with a vintage gold belt, gold hooped earnings, a tad more eye shadow, red lipstick, and tall sexy leopard heels…oh yah and pulled my hair out of the bun.

So, ladies- it’s date night…I  I want to know:

WHAT IS SOMETHING YOU LIKE TO WEAR TO SPICE UP YOUR DATE NIGHT?

    Another fashion blogger saying I need to be brave and wear red lipstick. Okay, Okay! I get it. Tomorrow, for date night. Pinky promise. ;) I love both your looks.

    My hubs and I are pretty casual. For me dressing up is a little extra eyeliner and dangly earring..

    I wear leggings with ballet flats almost everyday, so when I want to spice things up for date night (AKA entire-family-tagging-along-date-night) I like to wear my leggings with heeled boots. That one switch-up really changes my entire look. BTW, I NEVER thought I could do the red lipstick thing but I took a chance after repeat suggestions here and I’m convinced…so is hubby!

    Can’t believe how those simple changes made such a different look. Fabulous!
    SO HAPPY to have you here, Crisit! My only change for date night is throwing on heels with my jeans and grabbing my small cute purse instead of the big mom bag. :) Still haven’t tried the red lipstick, I don’t know if I am as brave as Shelley.

      Be brave Missy…baby steps…put it on one day when you are alone (if that ever happens in the mommy world) and see what you think! If you don’t like it…then you can easily dab off and tone it down with a clear lipgloss- maybe over time you can increase how much you leave on! ;)

      Yes ditching the mom bag is a must…I still somehow manage to bring it along somehow out of habit! It’s staying home next time!!

    I’m also one who was totally against the red lipstick until I tried it- now it’s hard to go back. Love the post Cristi!

    Great post. Super cute blogger. Glad you’ve added Cristi to the How Does She family. Can’t wait to see more her style looks right up my alley.
    Also, just check out her blog and found out about Proof Wooden sunglasses. Very good stuff on the blog and love the style. You need to post more pictures I’m ready for more!!

    Looking forward to more.

    Red lipstick… that’s… YIKES! I don’t know if I’m brave enough for that. I’m so incredibly, ridiculously pale that I’ve yet to find a red that actually works.

    But, welcome aboard, Cristi, I’m new here, too. :)
