For those days when I’m heading from a day full of meetings to an evening event, be it a cocktail reception, happy hour or a work event, I love to balance a bit of sparkle and fun with something professional that can take me through the day without a quick 6 p.m. change. An outfit like this is a favorite for its weekday versatility, and both of these pieces can go so many ways. I’ve worn this top with black pants for work and with denim for a Saturday afternoon (and it reminds me that I can also mix gold and silver!); I just scooped up this skirt, also from LOFT, and it’s much needed: personality without a too-short hemline!
blouse: loft (similar or this) || skirt: loft (obsessed with this faux leather-front option or this lacy steal! ) || heels: kenneth cole (2008?) || bag: forever 21 (similar, under $35) || watch: c/o skagen (similar, for less; love the black face!) || bracelet: c/o sequin via reward style (nearly identical) || sunglasses: c/o michael kors
