How To Take Your Little Black/White Dress From Day – Night || Cassie Daves x Tracy Braimah.

Okay, Okay…
Maybe I may have made a slight oops there because I’m not exactly wearing a dress but a skirt and a camisole, that can easily pass for a little black (skater) dress regardless.
You’re probably wondering about my post title : its a bit obvious right?
My friend, Tracy (You might remember her from various posts) and I will be sharing how to take your little black/white dress from day to night but not all in this post.
For this post, we’ll be focusing majorly on using your dress as a base and transitioning to a day look that can be worn on a weekend to one of the many artsy/fashion events that Lagos offers, or anywhere else you deem fit.
Meanwhile, notice how wearing the dress alone with heels already works as a night look? A LBD/LWD is definitely a wardrobe essential.
So how to take your little black/white dress to a day look?

Its really all about the extras!

– Throw on an outer garment : I’m wearing a kimono over mine ( same kimono worn in this post) while Tracy opted for a denim Jacket instead. Both options works well and sends off a relaxed and comfy vibe.

– Pick out suitable shoes : Of course heels won’t be appropriate but if that’s what you wear on a regular, then by all means werk it. I’m wearing heeled brogues anyways but when I eventually do wear this out, I’ll probably wear it with black flats. I decided to ‘sock it up’ to spice things up a bit. Tracy is wearing white all stars.

– Accessorize appropriately! : Big chunky neckpieces work better for a glammed up look but since we’re talking day and casual, we both opted for simple neckpieces. I’m wearing a simple gold chain while Tracy is wearing a black choker.

How do you spice up your plain black/white dress to a casual day look?
Any other quick tips on what to do?
I’ll love to hear your thoughts!



P.S – (I shared some other black dress styling tips in this post and this one too)

Planned to wear this out to some art exhibitions today but plans changed and I’ll most likely be staying indoors.
In my next style post, I’ll be sharing the par two of this : switching up to an evening/night look, so subscribe below to get notifications.
