From Day to Night

A couple of weeks ago my mom came home after a bargain hunt for me with these polka dot pants in navy, red and white. Even though they remind me a little bit of a fourth of july-firework, they're quirky and pretty cool if you wear them right.
Yesterday was my first time wearing them and I actually liked them so much that I decided to wear them when going out at night as well as during the day, making them the perfect feature in a "Day-to-Night"-post.

These pants are, due to the print, quite attention-demanding which means that for the day, whatever you wear them with has to be subtle and not to colorful. No one wants to walk out the door looking like a stand-in at the circus... Normally not a big fan of black, I felt it worked well yesterday. All the pieces added were very low-key, allowing the pants to be the focus and the black Wayfarers and jean jacket also brought a bit of much-needed edge to the look since the pants have a sweet cut and print.

For going out, the matching options aren't as limited which I thought was fun! I dared to add another color in the mix, a light pink and gold clutch as well as my sparkly H&M-goes-Prada earrings. Heels instead of ballet flats and a blouse instead of a t-shirt took the outfit from day to night, complemented by a daring blue-and-black smokey eye, perfect for the protective darkness of night fall.

Everything except the shoes is from H&M, my eternal fashion-provider...
