Like most young professionals, I often try to stretch the life of an outfit by picking pieces that can easily transition into a post-work setting. Lately, I've been all about the skirt, tights and boots combo. It's so easy, chic, and comfortable! Below is one of my latest outfits that you can easily transition into happy hour or dinner with friends.
I like to call these two pieces the base. These items can stay constant throughout the day. It might come as no surprise that both the skirt and sweater are from LOFT. I love these pieces because they are both comfortable and seasonally appropriate. When paired together, they create a nice textural appeal. The unique pattern on the skirt is modern, while the basket weave on the sweater is super cozy. Bonus: the sweater goes with literally everything. If I could get away with wearing this sweater every day, I would.
Next are the pieces that you can wear to make the outfit work-appropriate or happy hour-appropriate. As you can see, my tall boots are well-loved. When I wear these with a skirt at work, I tend to pair them with tights. For this particular look, I went with navy tights (at work, the less skin, the better in my eyes). To transition into a post-work look, you can keep or lose the tights, and put on these heeled ankle booties. They are perfect for fall and winter, because they are still dressy enough, but also provide warmth.
When it comes to necklaces, I am definitely not shy with rocking a statement in the workplace. However, with the pattern on this skirt, I would pair it with something more simple, such as this monogrammed necklace. However, when you're ready to add some glam, I would throw on something edgy like J.Crew number pictured above.
Two simple changes can take your look from day to night. I would love to know, how do you transition your outfits from work to play?
