With the festive period comes a slew of holiday parties that we have to attend: your boss’s Christmas luncheon, New Year’s Eve at your friend’s place, the annual office celebration that involves a lot of champagne and gossiping in the corner…so if you’re like us and you don’t have a second to run home for a fresh change of clothes, then you need pieces that can go from work to a party without having to be swapped out.
Sze Ming often has this issue. Working in marketing, she’ll find herself running between client meetings, working in the office and heading for after-six events. With that in mind, she needs clothes that she can throw together easily to accompany her through her day. We gave her a makeover, and sorted her out with three fast ways on how to tackle this issue.

Add some colour to a dull work day with a bright fuchsia dress, and then throw on a statement necklace to take it to the bar.
We love how slim this crystal bracelet is. It’s versatile and can be worn with your wristwatch or with other jewellery pieces, and adds the perfect amount of bling to your look.
Can’t be bothered to pack a pair of stilettos for your after-work party? Let these black strappy sandals get you through your meetings and your drinks.
Graphic stripes are a great way of injecting a graphic dose of texture to your look, and the satin sheen that this top has also works for the night.
A floral blouse may not strike one as being immediately party-friendly, but you can pair this with a pair of white pants and some stylish heels for a evening-ready look.
At first glance, this blazer ticks all the right boxes when it comes to dressing for the office. But pair it with a white tee and a sequinned skirt, and you’re all set to paint the town red.
A slip dress is one of those things that are super versatile. Throw this underneath a boxy blazer to wear to the office, and then slip into a pair of dancing heels and some bright bling to hit the bar.
Whether it’s paired with a white shirt or a sparkly top, this snakeskin skirt swings both ways when it comes to dressing for day or night.
Besides a black bag, red bags are also great for the office. And once you’ve tapped out of the office doors, it transforms into the perfect party companion without you even having to swap bags.
When in doubt, keep a rich red lippie stowed away in your desk drawer. You’d be surprised at how easily a swipe of red can instantly glam up your look.
