I don't know about you, but my wardrobe has never been required to "take you from day-to-night...from the office to the nightclub".   If a piece of clothing or a bag is beautiful, then it's beautiful.  Daylight be damned.
 
My case in point: this gorgeous crossbody from the house of Whiting & Davis (established 1876).  No one knows how to make things sparkle like W&D.
