I don't know about you, but it's hard for me to turn down happy hour with friends; it's a great way to relax after a stressful day at work, and, when the weather is nice, to check out new outdoor bars and restaurants (rooftops are my absolute fave!!). Layers and accessories are key for transitioning your outfit from work to happy hour though. When I was in New York recently, I wore this midi dress/vest/lace up heels combo to meetings with vendors (and a meeting with my company's CEO!) - I felt very put together and trend-right, and had more confidence in everything I did because I felt that I looked good. I'm a big believer in the saying, "Look good, feel good." When I went to dinner with one of my best friends after my meetings though, I wanted to be a little more casual. I ditched the vest and heels, and changed into some studded slip on sneakers - a ten second switch! Sidenote on these sneakers - the first time I wore them to work, I received a TON of compliments. Who doesn't love a little extra sparkle in their step? Cheers, and happy shopping Loves! xoxo
