Happy Monday everyone! I hope you all had an incredible weekend filled with fun, friends, and Netflix. I spent my weekend getting ahead with the blog, seeing blogger friends, and hanging out with my favourite guy (ahem, my fiancé!). It was also a great weekend to put my day-to-night style to the test. With having so many plans this passed weekend, I was truly tested on my ability to make pieces in my wardrobe versatile, comfortable, practical, and stylish.
One piece that proved to be very flexible in terms of my style this passed weekend was my Melissa Bui skirt. In chartreuse, a colour that typically I wouldn’t have thought to be so easy to style, this skirt worked with some of my favourite go-to pieces and made even casual tops appear more dressy and put together. Since versatility in style is something I talk about so often here on the UU, I wanted to spend today sharing how I took this outfit from day to night with only a few minor changes.
Style from Day to Night
One thing I always believe in is making the most out of the pieces you already have in your wardrobe. As a fashion blogger, it can be easy to get caught up in the idea that you’re always needing something new to share. But really, there’s something kind of awesome about showing how you can mix old with new (or old with old) and still have a stylish look. Both of my looks today feature my new Melissa Bui skirt (which I seriously cannot get enough of!) with older pieces that I’ve worn many times on my blog.
Daytime Style:
When it comes to my daytime style, I like to pick things that reflect the day. So, during the summer I love wearing bright, fun, and peppy colours that play into the colours around me. Since we’ve been surrounded by such beautiful flowers this summer, I’ve been really drawn to floral prints. This light floral print is easy to wear, comfortable and works perfectly with the fit and flare Melissa Bui skirt.
Evening Style:
During the evening, I usually tend to stick to darker colours, but this skirt inspired me to brighten up. I headed out to dinner sporting my Melissa Bui skirt, my favourite rust toned blouse, and a pair of simple strappy sandals – which is definitely my idea of the perfect evening outfit as it combines comfort, ease, and style.

Beautiful Skirt. Love it so much.
The skirt is super cute! I like that it’s both simple and bright. I think it looked best when you paired it with the camel/tan sandals/
I love how you styles the skirt! I would never have thought to put red and yellow together but it looks so fab on you!!
Bree this is a very cute skirt, it’s great that it can go from day to night outfit xox
I agree – love making the most of my wardrobe. Allows you to invest in some really great pieces and transform them with a few accessories.
I really like the red with the yellow. I don’t know if I would’ve tried such a stark contrast but it totally works 🙂
Ooooh your outfit is too cute and I love the gorgeous color pairing! It looks so pretty and chic I would never want to take it off. Great post <3
Cute skirt! I also love the red with the yellow 🙂 Different pairs of shoes can completely change the look of an outfit too.
I need an equally flowing skirt in my life. I’m just not fond of showing off my legs because I’m not great at shaving them. XD
Speaking of yellow – it’s become one of my favorite colors as of late. ^^
Both looks are gorgeous! I can’t pick a fave!

Such a stunning pop of color. And the background of those pics is just perfect!
Such great color combos!
Gorgeous pics! I like the skirt too. It’s cute and very flattering. I agree with you about pairing the old with the new to create a new look.
LOVE the color of the skirt. I think I prefer the floral top with it! The pattern really adds something to the look!
