For my 5th assignment in the Jane By Design Style Challenge, I had to take a plain white button-up shirt and style 2 looks: one for daytime and one for nighttime.

I decided to do a somewhat preppy take for my daytime look with a v-neck sweater and pleated navy skirt.  I’ve worn similar outfits both to work and for hanging out on the weekends.  A classic look like this pretty much never goes out of style and can be pulled together on short notice.  The bright colors and peep-toe booties help punch up the look and keep it from being boring.

For my evening look, I attempted to channel a little Carolina Herrera by popping the collar and rolling up the sleeves.  The little white shirt is her signature look for myriad occasions, and it’s easy to see why.  The ruffled pencil skirt, crocodile clutch, and bejeweled bib necklace lend understated sophistication to this ensemble.
