It's an age old question – what to wear to work when you have a fun night out planned afterwards? Yes, you could carry around a totally new outfit, in a totally different bag, but you know – hassle!
And if you don't do that, what else do you do – stay in the same clothes? You want to feel fresh in the evening, not like you're taking the office out with you – which you effectively are, if you hit the bar in exactly the same outfit you had your appraisal in at 9am.
The solution? 'Half' carry around a new outfit; as in, pick a safe piece that will stick from day to night – for instance, River Island's beige wrap midi skirt – and in your handbag, carry two new pieces to refresh the look (a top and a pair of heels).
So envisage this: said midi skirt paired with a black strappy cami. It's smart enough for work and as the cami's sleeveless, it's perfect for warmer weather. Team it with this season's must-have outdoor garment – the beloved bomber – and some white metallic trim platform trainers. Ladies, you're board room ready.
And then...
Come 6 o'clock, flick off those flats and strap on some sandals – because obviously. River Island's Khaki tie-up black heels are the pair to go for; the beige midi is subtle, so the sandal details must be strong.
Accompany with a lace crop top (yes, you can do it) and accessorise with sophisticated jewellery – gold decorated hoop earrings work a treat here. All in the merest of moments, you're prepared to piant the town.
Now go out and have some F-U-N. Here's everything you'll need!
