from desk to date.

We’ve all been there before… there’s a date on the calendar and yet you know it’s going to be impossible to run home and change beforehand. Maybe it’s a first date or maybe it’s just date night with your boyfriend, but you still wanted to put a little effort in and not be stuck looking like you walked right out of a meeting. An outfit idea to take you from desk to date:From-Desk-to-Date

J. Crew Leather Trim Pixie Pant // Cuyana Shimmer Clutch // J. Crew Silk Cami
// Sam Edelman Leopard D’Orsay Pumps // Gorjana Roya Collar Necklace //
Kat Von D Everlasting Love Lipstick // Reversible Faux Leather Tote // Topshop Blazer
// Bobbi Brown Nude on Nude Palette // Laura Mercier Gel Eyeliner //
BaubleBar Pebble Drops // Old Navy Smoking Flat // Gorjana Knox Necklace 

Sticking to basics for your key pieces makes things a lot easier to transition the outfit with layers for day and accessories for night. To keep things office appropriate (and warm enough for freezing office temperatures!), layer a blazer over the outfit and pair with a tote that’s roomy enough for your laptop + a pair of comfortable flats that add a little color into the look. When it’s time for date night, ditch the blazer, swap the tote for a clutch and throw on some heels and red lipstick and you’re good to go!

What is your favorite way to go from the office to a date? Do you have a go-to outfit that easily makes the transition? Anyone have a hot date tonight?
