I recently went out for dinner for DineLA week at this AMAZING sushi place called Sugarfish. It was sooo delicious, totally worth the price! I had a pretty busy day in lab so I knew I wouldn’t have time to go home to change before the dinner reservation with friends, so I wore an outfit I knew I could easily transition from day to night!
Transition Wear – Lab to Night out by andreah227 featuring kate spade jewelry
I wore this burgundy/maroon dress I got from H&M (similar shown here) for about $12, that was really flattering. It was similar shape to these dresses shown here.
For day time: I wore black leggings under the dress so it would be lab appropriate (must cover legs), and I paired them with some black ankle booties that were comfy enough to walk around all day! I matched it with a simple black necklace and some black studded earrings (again, similar shown here). I have a big black tote bag that I carry my gym clothes, lunch, and other random things to work. I would LOVE to get a Michael Kors bag, but too expensive for me on a grad student salary!
For night time: I removed the leggings and switched to some over the knee boots, a chunky black necklace with some gold, some dangly earrings and a black clutch (all similar shown here).
It was a really cute, sultry outfit, perfect for a night out and dinner with friends at a posh little sushi place!
This dress style is very versatile, and I love the burgundy color this season!
What do you think? Do you ever wear outfits you can easily transition if you don’t have time to go home to change?

I adore these day-to-eve transitions! Sounds like you had a fab time. 🙂 My youngest son is working on his PhD, too–his is in biomedical engineering; so, he works in a lab–just like you do–while getting his grad degree. 🙂 T. http://tickledpinkwoman.blogspot.com
Love this! Great post and I really love your lab style. Super chic and fun.
