Office to Evening Wear

During the day you are most likely to be at work.  My belief is that most people try and spend as little time getting ready in the morning, reality being that you probably grabbed the first thing in your wardrobe that is clean and didn’t need ironing.

Getting ready in the morning and knowing you have to go out for the evening straight after work can be tricky.  So lets make this easy for you when you know when you step out for the evening.  My message is planning!  To make that quick transition, arrange clothes and accessories so they can be added to your evening attire.

Here are four fantastic fun changes to transform you for your evening out.

1.  High Heels

Changing your footwear can give your outfit ‘a kiss of life’.  People will instantly think you made an effort.  I always say thank goodness for high heels and believe me, add high heels to your evening and you will look transformed, powerful and sexy. 

2.  Make-up & Hair

Wearing a strong colour lipstick can make your look dramatic and sexy.  Red lipstick can add instant glamour, if red lipstick is not your choice; another option is a red/ pink lip gloss instead which will still look pretty and feminine.  Small changes make massive impact.  Change your hairstyle by adding a hair-accessories, popular are plaits or hair bands.

3. Contact Lens

I wear glasses for work, during the day I tend to be working on my laptop however, when I know I’m going out for the evening, I change to contact lenses.  Leave that work look behind and make some eye contact, unblock and smile with your eyes.  An instantly attractive look for both men and women.
