Transitioning your outfit from a day at the office to date night usually includes a few accessories swap, putting on high heels or adding a cocktail ring for example.  As a young working woman you often find yourself racing from the gym to the office and from the office to cocktails or dinner dates, it seems that time is never on your side.  Let’s be honest here: When you’re always on the go the last thing you need slowing you down is wondering about your wardrobe. Right? Especially when you’re going from your desk to drinks or dinner after.

Here are a few surefire tips to take you from office appropriate to dinner date chic.

When you get dressed before work, pick a simple piece to be the backdrop for your outfit. Something fitted or simple silhouette is good. Think of this item as the outfit that you will load with interchangeable accessories and other clothing items. Personally, I will suggest a slim-fitting bodycon dress, or top and trouser combination of the same color.

  Have The Office In Mind

 Put on a sleek blazer or a colored cardigan to make your outfit office appropriate. Complete the look by adding a slim belt or a headband and finish off your look with great shoes.

Pack For Later

Take along a playful pair of heels, a clutch, bright lipstick (Preferably Red), Cocktail rings and nice drop earrings.

  Freshen up

When you’re off to your dinner date,  touch up your makeup, add a fresh swipe of mascara to your lashes , change your lipstick,  give yourself  light spritz of perfume. You’ll feel as good as new.

 Restyle Your Hair

Women usually put up their hair when dressing for the office. If you have to go to a dinner date from work, look for amazing ways to restyle your hair. Remember to always have fancy hairpins in your handbag just for days like this.

The bottom line here is to pick an outfit that can allow you can interchange accessories to create a new look.
