A day will come when you will be so pressed for time, that you will have to go straight from work to an event without stopping home to freshen up or get ready. It’s a feared moment, trying to figure out how to spice up a work outfit because you can’t wear anything too revealing or sexy at the office. Such bold outfits just aren’t comfortable all day, and we won’t even think about the attention you’ll receive, and it’s not the kind you want at work.

For those who find themselves in this serious sticky situation, there’s no need to panic. After all, panicking leads to stress, which leads to a flushed and blotchy complexion, sweat, and more unwanted consequences. There’s no time to deal with all that, just relax and plan ahead for such a day.

The outfit.
Planning ahead is definitely key. You’ll want to wear something that includes layers which you can peel away for your more revealing, sophisticated night look, or something versatile that can be dressed up or cinched a certain way to look fresh for the night out. For a more casual night out, a simple change into sexy jeans will be enough of a turn your look into the perfect night-time ensemble.
Jackets
Wearing a standard work suit, either skirt or pant, can easily be turned into nightwear chic with the removal of a structured jacket. Wearing a spicy halter, camisole, or bustier underneath will instantly vamp your outfit.
Black Dress
The LBD is one of the most versatile and important wardrobe item for any woman. Its classic sophistication is beloved by many, and the endless style choices make owning several versions an all too frequent occurrence. This item wins again as it can be a great work option when paired with a jacket, which can be removed for after work and accessorised to turn into a head turner.

The Shoes.
A simple shoe change, from comfy flats to killer heels, can go a long way to making your outfit night worthy. Shoes are the perfect accessory to make a statement and finish any look. Even if you’re a no-heels type of lady, a metallic or animal print flat can add just as much as a dramatic heel.

The Accessories.
Conservative, elegant work wear jewellery holds no grounds at night. Replace simple earrings with flashy, statement pieces. Add bangles, a belt, or necklace to match and you’re look is ready to go.

The Makeup.
After a long day in the office, refresh your face with simple touch-ups before you head out. For a night-time look, either add a more dramatic eye or lip to match your more dramatic outfit. Keep a few key makeup essentials at work and you won’t have to worry about putting them in your purse before you leave.

The Clutch.
A simple clutch says a lot for an evening out. It’s the final piece to change your look from day to night and instantly adds sophistication to any simple look.

Not all these changes are necessary to transition from day-to-night, but a few simple changes will get you in the mood for the evening, and keep your outfit fresh and elegant. Just keep these tips in mind the next time you find yourself in that dreaded pickle, and you’ll come out alive and on time.
