There have been countless articles written on taking your look from the office to a night out with friends.  In truth, there is no need to stash heels or a glittery purse in your handbag to make the transition.  Here are a few simple ways to glam up your look as you head out for a fun evening:

Unbutton an extra button on your blouse and roll up your sleeves. This simple step takes you from conservative to casual (and sexy!) without a wardrobe change.

Switch from simple studs to sparkly, swinging earrings. Keep a few pairs of chandelier or drop earrings in your purse and make the switch before you leave the office.

Apply eyeliner, perfume and lip gloss.  Eyeliner is a simple way to take your look from day to night.  A roll-on or solid perfume will easily fit in your make-up bag and is a signal to you that you are no longer on the company’s time!  Lip gloss is a fantastic multi-tasker.  In addition to applying to lips, dab on cheekbones and brow bones to give your skin that evening glow.

Most importantly, as you walk out of the office leave your over-due projects, tough meetings, and workplace squabbles at the door.  You are on “you time” now!
