(429 Words)
You may not want (or be able to afford) entirely separate wardrobes for work and weekend. Fortunately, there are a number of outfits that can easily go from work to weekend with little to no tweaks. Try the following looks.
Simple black dress
A simple black dress can be conservative enough for the office, especially when paired with a blazer, decorative scarf and simple jewelry. To move it to the weekend, simply get rid of the blazer, suggests Marie Claire Magazine. You can change conservative black pumps to red sequin heels and add in chunky red fashion jewelry for a great look. If you are going for comfort then you can wear it with matching black loafers. Any single colored dress can work as a versatile work to weekend clothing item.
Conservative pants and shell, long sleeveless vest
Sarah Easley of New York City boutique Kirna Zabete suggests wearing a long sleeveless very with pants and shell to work. This can provide a stylish look that is conservative enough for the office. When the weekend comes, get rid the pants and shell and convert the vest into a dress. A wide belt can cinch it to make for a sizzling look.
Printed sundress
Printed sundress come in all different shapes and sizes. Make sure that it is long enough for the office. To make it more formal for the office add a matching color shrug and pumps or flats. When the weekend comes, get rid of the shrug to show off your arms and shoulders.
Pencil skirt and silk shirt
For work, tuck the shirt in for a tailored look. Make sure it is buttoned high for a conservative office look. Wear nice jewelry. When the weekend comes, you can forgo the jewelry if you want to be comfortable. Untuck the shirt and a button or two at the top if you wish for it to be a little less conservative.
Black tank and tailored pants
A black tank and tailored pants can be the basis for both a work and weekend look. For work cover up the tank with a sizable shrug or a jacket. The tank should be tucked into the pants. When the weekend comes you can forgo the jacket altogether and just wear the tank to be comfortable. If you want to have something on top of it, you can place a comfortable cotton shirt over it.
