Glam Shopping Beat column for the week of 1/1/07 - by Lesley Scott:
Going out after work means (for most of us) heading out straight from
the office. Which typically means there's no time to head home &
change. But who really wants to lug an entire change of clothes along in
the morning?
Instead, a few quick-change wardrobe artists make the transformation easy. For an office appropriate ensemble, start with a body-conscious sheath or pencil dress, and pair with a black cardigan,
belt and matching pumps. To suit up for after-work extracurricular activities, simply switch out the cardigan for
something with sequins - such as a vintage capelet - and add a jaunty
cocktail hat and killer heels. Don't forget the femme fatale thigh
highs and drop-dead red lips. And then prepare to work it-work it- work
it.
Go from office to cocktails with no sweat, but oodles of sex appeal:
