With the work week coming to an almighty crescendo, we can’t help but thank god it’s the weekend! And with the office slowly winding down, everyone recognises the dilemma that occurs every Friday arvo around 5pm. The entire building has spontaneously decided to celebrate the end of the monumental working week with a big TGIF! And here comes that dilemma…you’re in your not too hot office getup, consisting of toocomfytobepretty flats, a not so glamorous white shirt, and pant combo, with not even enough makeup to cover the stress from the week that was. It happens every Friday (why don’t we learn?!) But with happy hour here to stay (and we’re not complaining), we’ve compiled a lust list of after work essentials to leave at your desk, so you can relax, let your hair down and forget about meetings ‘til Monday rears its ugly head. Let the good times roll!
Rock chic
Luckily your corporate ensemble does all the hard work, so you don’t have to! For ladies with a ‘don’tmesswithme’ attitude, unleashing your inner rock chick is the perfect style for the local live music pub. Take your everyday midi dress, add a statement bold lip to the equation, hang your go-to leather jacket over your shoulders and pair with your fave heeled booties warm enough to walk from venue to venue in, and comfortable enough to dance all night in!
Corporate chic
For the fashion savvy office chick, your all black, tailored pantsuit is the perfect piece to take you to the cocktail bar in sheer style. How to turn up the volume? Add an oversized boyfriend blazer with the cuffs rolled up; the combination of the tailoring with loose silhouetting will create shape and movement. Throw on your strappy stilettos, and add a little luxury to your overall look with statement earrings. Voila! Emails to espresso martinis faster than you can shimmy onto the dance floor.
Feminine chic
You’re keen to head out for a drink or two, but nothing too wild? We hear you, sister! Add a touch of delicate romanticism to your already on point ensemble, and pair your black pleated midi skirt with a white floaty, chiffon blouse, and sparkly clutch. Best news of all is you can leave your flats on when you head down to the drinking hole! Trust us, your morning after toes will thank you!
