Before/After Work Outfit

FROM A STYLIST

With the warm weather approaching , we all are staying out a little later after work to enjoy the night air. Especially on Friday nights! What you don’t want to do is go home and come back out. The couch is deadly! So, how do you take a work outfit and bump it up to a jazzy night look without carrying another bag? Easy….accessorize! I saw this outfit from the GAP that features their flare leg jean with a crisp white top and heels. Classic, clean summer outfit that’s suitable for work but, we need a transformation.


The Mini Alden Tote Bag from Brahmin is a refreshing twist on adding red to a white and denim look and showing your knowledge of this season’s “it” color, Orange. It’s acceptable for work and when you remove the long strap and carry by the top handles, it converts to a chic evening bag. It holds what you need for a day at work and secretly holds your style secrets! With a quick trip to the Ladies room you can transform yourself into your evening Diva. Put on your layered gold and silver multi-strand necklace, multi-strand bracelet and a trendy fun ring (all from Banana Republic) and you have taken your “classic” look to a chic and sexy look for a night on the town.
