Summer in NYC is pretty awesome. Although most people head out for the weekend, weeknights are still lively. The question is: What do you wear?
When I know I have an event or happy hour after work, picking out something to wear is always a challenge. But when this dress arrived at my doorstep, I knew it would be the perfect transitional outfit from desk-to-drinks. I don’t want to wear something that’s too “work-y”, but then again, I can’t really wear a typical “going out” look to work.
Fit and flare dresses will always be an option.
This dress from ModCloth is the perfect silhouette and length for work and has a super fun print on it that’s great for after-work dinner or drinks. I paired it with nude sandals that are a great height for work (running to and from meetings, and up and downstairs from our showroom can get tiring!), but also are super sleek for after-work activities! Now here’s where another huge challenge comes in….
WHAT BAG DO I NEED TO BRING?!
This bag is big enough to fit my lunch, my planner, work IDs, wallet, and all of the other unnecessary crap that I throw in my bag. But then do I really want to carry this around with me after work? The answer is almost always no. But I can’t just bring a clutch to work (although this one is adorable) – that wouldn’t make sense!
Luckily this tote has a little removable wallet inside that can easily fit my ID, credit card, lipgloss, and my work ID for the next day. How perfect is that?!
If you’re stuck on your next desk-to-drinks look, check out some of these for inspiration: Skirts and pants, shoes, blouses and cardigans.
