Day to Night | Black Maxi

April 12, 2016

Happy Tuesday, friends! Who’s ready for some Spring Style inspiration today?! It’s been awhile since I styled a Day to Night look, and since I’ve been wearing this new maxi dress pretty much non-stop, it was the most obvious choice! In fact, these are all real looks I’ve worn in the last few weeks…Mr. SP was just sport enough to snap some shots for me while we were out and about!

Let’s start with my favorite Day look…by following the Rule of Three, I layered on a fitted jacket, statement necklace, and chic bag, to give the simple black dress lots of style.

Maxi Dress (available in four colors!) | Similar Jacket | Handbag (similar)
Similar Necklace | Hoop Earrings | Sunglasses | Watch

This maxi dress may be simple, but the flattering high-low hemline makes it fun. Most maxi dresses and skirts drag the ground unless I wear a wedge, but as you can see on the (much taller) model, it’s intended to be more of a tea-length in back, and knee-length in front.

Which means it’s the perfect maxi length for me, even in flats! #everybodywins


Fit Tip: I’m wearing an XS, and even after putting it through the washer/dryer and it shrinking a teenie bit, it’s still a tad big on me up top. #noboobs So I’d say it’s true-to-size to a tad big.

Style Tip: To keep from swimming in fabric when styling maxi dresses, make sure your jacket is really fitted. I pull the sleeves up to show a little skin, as well.

Hi Sugarplum | Day to Night Black Maxi

I’m often asked how I transition bags so frequently…and really my only trick is to streamline what you carry in your bag. In addition to my wallet, phone and sunglasses, I keep lipstick, gum, and other small necessities in a small zippered bag…those four things are easily transferred from bag to bag.

Of course on the days when I need a checkbook, laptop, notepad, etc…I carry a larger bag, and about once a week I clean out the gum wrappers, receipts, and toys that inevitably find their way to my bags. Keeping my accessories closet organized has helped, as well, because it allows me to quickly grab the cutest bag for my outfit, along with just the lipstick and sunglasses I want for the day.

I view handbags as another layer of style for an outfit, so I want to make it easy on myself to mix them up.

Next, by changing up the shoes and accessories, and swapping the cross body bag for a clutch, I was ready for a night out.

My easy nighttime formula usually includes heels, a statement jewelry (earrings or necklace), and a clutch. You could add that trio to so many casual looks, and it’s instantly ready for evening. In fact, that theory might just need it’s own future post! #challengeaccepted

You didn’t really think I’d leave it at two ways, did you?!? #overachiever #firstborn I wore the dress again with my stand-by jean jacket and wedges, and this look could go Day or Night!

What’s your trick for working your outfit from Day to Night? Do you swap your handbags regularly, or stick with one for an entire season? Oh, and if you were trying to get the Gift with Purchase with a $35 purchase from yesterday’s post, it’s now live!!

Sweater Dress | Day to Night

November 20, 2015

Cheers to Friday, friends! I hope your week has been grand, and you have fun weekend plans ahead! Our cruise comes to an end today, and sadly, it’s time to say good-bye to my fun blogger friends, and the spoiled life at sea. We’ve had so much fun on this crazy Sailing with the Scotts adventure (see what we’ve been up to on Instagram or Facebook), and I can’t wait to share more with you in the coming weeks.

The upside of the week coming to an end, is I’ll be reunited with Mr. SP for a a few days in Miami, and then back home to my babes. And while it’s perpetually Summer where I am now, it’s all about sweater-weather at home. In particular, cute and versatile sweater dresses!

I was instantly smitten with the easy, yet flattering, fit of this cowl neck sweater dress. The hardest part was deciding which of the great colors to get! Lucky for me, it keeps going on sale, so I scooped up the ‘barnswallow’ color, as well as the black. (Who thinks up these color names?!)


You know my clothes must all pull double and triple duty (or even 5 Ways!), so I thought I’d show you how I wear this chic little number Day to Night.

This dress has such an easy fit, yet hugs just enough to be flattering. I find it a tad scratchy, so I layer a tank underneath. It’s perfect now with booties, but will easily transition to colder days with dark tights and boots.

You may notice I followed my tried-and-true Rule of Three…dress + leopard cuff + plaid bag.

Then with an accessories swap, and the addition of a jacket, this outfit easily transitions to Nighttime fun. You could pair it with pumps or strappy heels for work, but I also like the edgy feel of the booties and leather jacket for evening.

Can we talk about these earrings for a second?! So fun and festive (and crazy lightweight…I can’t do earring that drag my lobes down!). They are perfect for holiday season, and will dress up most any outfit. I wore them all week on the cruise and received countless compliments.

This look would work with most any vest or jacket, and knee boots (like these)…including rain boots! And if it’s extra cold where you are, add black tights.

I still adore my Look for Less pink rain boots, but I can’t seem to get enough of these real-deals…so lightweight and comfortable! Fortunately for me, we’ve had a rainy Fall!

I’m still picking leaves and twigs out of my hair, but I hope you were inspired with new ways for mixing up your Fall dresses. Which look is your favorite? Are you a fan of sweater dresses? Happy weekend, lovebugs!

Breezy Skirts | Day to Night

August 21, 2015

Cheers to Friday! I’m in total denial that it’s our final weekend of Summer break…I can hardly stand to think about sending my baby off to high school Monday!! #holdme

Let’s change the subject before I start hyperventilating. For today’s {Fashion Friday}, I’ve got another round of Day to Night for you…this time featuring this breezy ‘shirttail hem’ skirt.

Hi Sugarplum | One Skirt | Day to Night

I featured it on InstaGram a few times and it sold out fast…but I’ve rounded up some similar ones at the bottom of this post. I decided to go ahead and share these looks since the method of dressing it down for day, and up for night, is similar for most any skirt.

I found myself reaching for it repeatedly this Summer…the breezy shape and lightweight material made it perfect for our steamy days…in fact, just as cool and comfortable as shorts, but more chic.

Just like with this {5 Ways} post, I knotted my shirt to better define my waist, and add a bit more personality. I’ve also worn the skirt with this gingham top…but am showing it with a solid chambray for those of you who prefer a more toned-down mix of patterns.

The skirt has also received lots of play for {Date Night}, as well as, the recent blogger conference I attended. It would be pretty with these heels, but I liked the edgier vibe the striped tank and cage heels provided.

Colorful skirts make it fun, and easy, to pair accessories…but that doesn’t mean you have to stick with just those colors. I went with a bit of tone-on-tone with my clutch…I liked the look, but it also helped me pack light since I carried this clutch with my other outfits at the conference. (Which reminds me…I have a ‘Blogger Conference ~ What I Packed’ post planned!)

With all the traveling this Summer, we haven’t had our usual Maggie photobombs. I suppose that’s one good thing about the return of school…we’ll be home more with our youngest baby.

Do reach for skirts or shorts more in warmer weather? Happy weekend, lovebugs!

Pink Dress | Day to Night

July 22, 2015

Holla to Hump Day! This week is just smoking right along, but it seems my To Do List is growing faster than I can cross it off. I guess that’s the downside of being away for several days. I’m thrilled you loved yesterday’s {Trip Report}…if you haven’t seen it yet, make sure you check out the stunning port of Skagway, Alaska!

I’ve got a little mid-week fashion inspiration for you today, in the form of another {Day to Night}. I showed you this pink dress in a previous {Dressing Room Diaries}, and had to scoop it up. Granted, I have another similar dress I adore, but I couldn’t resist the flattering shape and longer length of this one…not to mention the price!

But you know my clothes all have to play double and triple duty, so of course I’ve already worn it in two very different scenarios…both Day and Night.

Hi Sugarplum | Pink Dress: Day to Night

It’s easy to dress cute little numbers like this one down for casual day events, but have you thought about dressing them waaaay down, as maybe a cover-up? I recently threw it on after a day at the lake, and the breezy shape and material was perfect for transitioning to dinner. Just as easy as an oversized tshirt, but monumentally more chic.

It was a quick trip to the lake, so my striped monogram bag served as both my purse and carry-all bag…perfect for my swimsuit and a dress. (Use SUGARPLUM10 for 10% off your bag order!)

The easy, no-wrinkle material also made the dress perfect for my trip to Atlanta last weekend. I loved dressing it up for evening, and the punchy pink made it a great party dress.

The dress was a hit, but let’s get real….the Pom-Pom Clutch is what made the outfit! Can you even stand the cuteness?! I also carried it with my favorite little black dress, and it was too cute for words. And lucky for you ducks, the clutch (and everything else in the shop!) is on sale for Hi Sugarplum readers!

I knew my new striped skirt would be adorable on my friend, Jen, and insisted she wear it! (I’m kind of bossy like that.) She loved it, too, and promptly ordered it for herself! I mean seriously, could she be cuter?! #theanswerisno #loveher Everyone knows she’s a whiz at organizing and decorating, but she’s also got great style!
