5 THINGS TO KEEP IN YOUR BAG THAT WILL TAKE YOU FROM DAY TO NIGHT

Reading:

Wow, that was a long title BUT so necessary to explain why this post is a must-read!

This one is for my on-the-go ladies out there and these days, who isn’t one?!

Life is hectic and days are long so when the thought of coming home to get yourself put together all over again seems like a luxury you just don’t have, fear not! Your girl’s got you covered with 5 purse-sized items that will transition you from a casual day of work, meetings or errands to girls night/date night ready. Tuck these little gems into your bag before you leave the house in the morning and you’ll be sorted until you’re ready to crawl back in bed.

1. Liquid Eyeliner Pen

This bad boy will instantly revive your day old makeup look and give you that little boost of confidence you need to paint the town red come nightfall. Think of it as a shot of espresso for your face.

2. Bold Lip Color

Speaking of red, a timeless go-to for making a woman look and feel sexy is a great bold lip. It doesn’t need to be anything too dramatic, just something to add some pep in your step that compliments your skin tone and draws attention to that beautiful face of yours!

3. Belt

This is a great simple way to enhance your figure, accentuate your waste and pull your look together. If you were already wearing a belt for your daytime look, swap it out for something more dramatic and statement for evening!

4. Jewelry

Pack a few pieces of statement jewelry in that bag and you’d really be good to go without any of the other transitional pieces. I like to look well styled and groomed for evening, which is why I’m recommending everything in the list but a bold pair of earrings or an embellished necklace with some bling on your wrists and you’ve already stepped any look up a notch!

5. Neck or Head Scarf

I love a little neck or head scarf to give a look that extra thought, which projects the appearance that you have a sense of style that’s a cut above the rest. It’s sounds so simple but it really does elevate your style without any real effort at all. Statement hair barrettes are also very on trend right now and would be a great substitute for a head scarf as well!

the full story

Since Bowie was born I've been more motivated than ever to show up as the best version of me and also share the experiences of those who have a new perspective to share that could make us all better people. So with that, here's a space for you to learn, explore, and sit beside me as I navigate this world through this new lens. 

Content Creator. Mama to Bowie. Wife to Josh. Straight Talker. DIY'er. You may also know me from my roles in 90210 and Degrassi. 

Motherhood does a great job at putting a mirror up to you in the form of a child and because of that I've found myself gravitating toward spaces where I can learn and evolve as a person.
