Dear BX,
I have several holiday parties coming up already, and I face the same problem every year. How do I wear something that is fancy enough for a night-time soiree without looking entirely too overdressed at work? I have quite a commute, so going home to change isn’t an option. I just don’t want to look like a sparkly mess during the daytime. HELP!
-Amy Oxford
Amy,
What a good question.
The easiest way to transition from the office to an evening holiday party is by wearing a relatively “plain” outfit and jazzing it up with bold accessories at night. And don’t worry, by “plain” we don’t mean boring. Instead, we mean staple wardrobe pieces, such as a little black dress or a nice trouser and classic top that can be a relatively blank canvas for any scenario. All you need to do is carry a change of shoes and jewelry in your purse and voila, a few quick alterations, and you have transformed from the board room to the downtown lounge.
We’ve put together two example outfits below that would work perfectly for such a situation. So no need to fear dear Amy, you will be able to wow at work and the party without looking like a hot sparkly mess either.
Look 1: The LBD
Staple Item
Dress – Gap
Work
Jacket – Fred Flare, Tights – Fig Leaves , Wedges – Shoe Box
To transform this funky-fun professional look into a masterpiece for the night, all you need to do is switch your shoes, throw on some accessories before you leave work and check your blazer at the door. Less than a minute of changing and voila! A whole new you.
Party
Look 2: The Classic Trouser
Staple Items
Trousers – New York & Co., Top – Banana Republic, Shoes - Zappos
Work
Necklace – J.Crew, Sweater – Urban Outfitters
To transition this look, you only need to swap out your sweater and pearls to a sequined vest and gold multi-chain necklace.
Party
