Regardless of how chilly it might be outside, working girls know the best way to unwind after a long day at the office is with an après work cocktail (or two, we won’t judge).
The only rule of thumb is that you never want to be that girl who feels uncomfortable because she’s too overdressed — we’re talking about full pantsuits — or the girl whose too casual rocking leggings and a t-shirt. This means you need to add some outfits to your wardrobe that are both office-appropriate and but also work for a night out.
The Little Black Dress
Every woman needs to own one fitted little black dress, as it will be a closet staple for years to come. Pair your black dress with a statement purse and a pair of neutral heels.
Chic Dress Pants
A pair of chic dress pants is perfect for the office because they can easily be dressed up and dressed down. Style with neutral accessories — like this stunning dusty rose Mansur Gavriel purse, a statement blouse and complete the look with a matching lipstick.
The Pencil Skirt
A figure-flattering pencil skirt can be paired with just about anything in your closet for an instantly polished look. Sweeten your pencil skirt up with a pastel, feminine blouse, and a pair of killer heels.
