How to Dress Up your Look After-Hours

Let’s say it’s Friday and you’ve got hot plans after work. Somehow, I doubt you’re appropriately attired for whatever the evening might bring; generally speaking, office wear doesn’t easily translate to a night on the town.

Fortunately, I’ve got you covered. Here are a few simple things you can do to ensure you’re always ready for a night on the town after-hours.

While that briefcase you lug around all day at work may be office appropriate, it’s not a good idea to bring it along with you if you’ve been invited for after-work cocktails. Instead, keep a mini hobo bag or an evening purse in your desk or locker at all times.

That way, you still have enough room to hold all of your essentials, but you won’t have to drag around a huge bag with you.

To really ensure you’re covered for after-hours, keep a pair of sexy kitten heels or stilettos stashed away. That way, you can easily switch from your boring work shoes to a pair more worthy of an exciting night on the town.

If you don’t have the space to stash a whole party-worthy outfit at the office (and let’s face it, who does?), simply wear a skirt to work with a lacy camisole top tucked underneath your office-appropriate jacket. Ditch the jacket, and you’re left with a totally party-worthy ensemble - you don’t even have to change!

Of course, before you head out the door, make sure you spruce up your makeup just a tad. Chances are, you’ll want something a little more sultry than you’d normally wear to work, so take a few minutes in the bathroom to fix yourself up.

That’s all it takes to dress up your look after-hours; you can be ready to hit the town immediately after work, and look great doing it.
