Happy Friday!!  I hope you have fun plans for the weekend!  I'm doing a staycation, which I'm so excited about.  I'm looking forward to catching up on some good books, time with friends, and a little pampering.

This week has totally emphasized the importance of picking pieces that can easily transition from day to night as I've had events 3 nights after work.  No one wants to change in their car (been there, done that), change at work and get lots of questions from co-workers (no thanks...), or find another place to change (locker room at the gym anyone?). 

When I know I have an event after work, I generally wear a skirt or dress to work as I find them easier to transition.  I also have a few other key tricks to transition my look.

1. Switch your daytime tote for a  chic, smaller night version, like this leopard clutch.  I don't know about you, but the purse I carry to work has so much crap in it that it doesn't really work for after work events.  

2.  Change into a dressier pair of shoes.  Shoes generally make the outfit for me and I never turn down an opportunity to wear those shoes that aren't quite office appropriate!

3.  Amp up the jewelry.  I've started wearing my arm party everyday to work, but I will usually add a pair of statement earrings or a statement necklace.

4. Freshen your makeup.  For me, this is generally just applying a little more lipstick as I'm usually running late and don't have time to do anything else.

Do you guys have any other day to night tips?  

I hope you have a great weekend!  I'm taking Monday off so I will return on Wednesday with my regular posting.
