When I am at work and am anticipating an event I need to head to right after, I always get anxious. I am forever thinking about what to wear, going home and changing, and arriving unfashionably late! Just thinking about it is giving me the chills. So I say “Self! What if you could wear what your already wearing, but bring that little extra special something along with you to throw on before heading out the door!”, genius …I know.
So I came up with looks you can wear to the office, as well as your company’s holiday party.
Tuxedo blazers with structured trousers.
If you commute to work you can bring the blazer on a hanger, and keep it in the coat closet until you are ready to head to your party, or keep it in your car, but this is such an easy way to spruce up an outfit.
As far as the trouser goes, wearing something that has a pattern or pop of color is just enough for work and play.
Shimmer
Poof! The glittery shimmery fairy just stopped by and sprinkled a magic touch into your closet that has your co workers head’s turning as you walk into that party.
Okay..no she didn’t, but shimmer is always great for a holiday shindig. I find embellished skirts paired with a motorcycle jacket are the perfect blend of sweet and sassy, or a blouse for an extreme feminine look.
Leather and Lace
If you’re going to an open bar in NYC, or a nice sit down dinner, you can wear leather and lace. A lace dress with opaque tights and a leather jacket is one of favorite things to wear in a pinch. It is comfortable and cute enough to wear to work, but also dressy enough to wear out. I always keep a deep lipstick in my bag to make the look a bit more vampy. POW! We just packed a punch.
