Work to Weekend, Part II

Work to Weekend, Part II

As I was thinking about what pieces I constantly wear both to work and out on the weekend, I couldn’t help but consider all of my “closet all-stars.”  Necessary basics that can be mixed and matched with almost anything to create both professional and casual looks.  Outfits that can take you to the office and all that comes after.

Little Black Dress

A little black dress is such a versatile piece to have in your wardrobe and can be an inexpensive way to create a luxe look.  First, create a professional office look by adding a white blazer over your LBD.  A white suit coat and a perfectly tailored black dress are “closet all-stars” in my book.

Get rid of the jacket and add an animal print belt and bold earrings to take your LBD from the office to an evening out.
Striped Skirt

This stripped skirt screams “spring time” and can be paired with plenty of colors.  By adding a cap sleeved top and more conservative heels, you can wear this fun skirt to your next meeting.

Swap out your blouse for a navy tank and bright accessories for a weekend day in the city or the park!

Work to Weekend, Part I

I don’t know too many women that have strict “work wear” and a completely separate “weekend wardrobe.”  Yes, there are those pieces that you probably shouldn’t wear to the office (sweatpants, short skirts or tank tops) but there are so many ways to interweave your work wardrobe and casual wardrobe together.  With office dress codes becoming more relaxed in a lot of professional environments, there are plenty of ways to dress for success at the office and then take those same pieces and style them for a fun weekend look.

Striped jacket
This light spring jacket is perfect for the office with a bright colored shirt to contrast.  Pair with tailored pants and a great bag for a classic work look.
Then, take the jacket and pair with skinny jeans and pumps for a flirty weekend outfit.
Polka dot dress

This dress can be easily paired with a suit jacket to dress it up for a day at the office. 

Take the dress from corporate to elegant by ditching the jacket, adding some bold bracelets and a clutch.  Perfect for a weekend dinner date or cocktail party.
