Style Friday: Work to Date – How To Accessorize

• If you use a tote bag for work to fit your lunch, papers, and shoes, be sure to carry a small clutch with your essentials in it like wallet, keys, phone and lipstick. That way when you need to go to a date or anywhere after work you can just pull out that clutch to make any outfit look chic. You do not want to look like a bag lady and carry everything but the kitchen sink when you are out!
• A scarf is always a good idea. One it is a comfort zone thing. If you are wearing something lower cut and work in a conservative office you can just put a scarf on and simply take it off when you have to go to a date after work. Alternatively, it can work to make an outfit more colorful and add character.
• Shoes are women’s best friend. It can change a look entirely and actively give confidence. Always an attractive feature. Carry another pair to change your work day outfit into a date night outfit.
• Continue to do what you feel comfortable with, however, if you do not wear a lot of jewelry then don’t go a put on a bunch of bangles because you feel that is how you can dress up an outfit. You want to enhance you are already are not change.
• Also, be aware that the way that you present yourself can show what you don’t want. For example, if you wear a scarf wrapped around your neck so tight, inevitably you are showing that you are not open.
