Working ladies, this one’s for you!
We know the importance of making your wardrobe stretch to that extra event, and, well, the most important event of the week has to be post-work drinks on a Friday evening, right?
Well, instead of carrying an extra change of clothes, the easiest way to get into work-free mode past 5pm is to slip into one statement piece for the day, which you can easily formalise for work, and take straight to the bar afterwards.
OK, so we’re not talking about turning up to work ready for a night out, but a casual skirt thrown into the sartorial mix will prove a game changer come Friday evening.
Check out our pick of five super-stylish spring skirts all under £20 (that’s more dosh for drinks), that’ll instantly transport you from behind the Mac to sitting in front of a margarita in no time!
£16.23, Vero Moda: The wrap effect and bow detail give this skirt an informal edge, whilst the muted purple tone keeps it office appropriate. Team with a tucked in, cream silk blouse and pumps for work. Post-office, team with a statement clutch and shoe boots.
£9.99, Missguided: Checker board prints are a huge trend favourite for spring/summer 2013, and we can’t find a more cost effective way to invest! Team with a soft black knit and heels for day, and throw on a leather jacket and statement earrings for the bar.
£8, Boohoo: If you’re looking for a statement print without breaking the bank, this marble print midi skirt hits the mark. The pencil silhouette says office, whilst the print is perfect for post-drinks partying.
£16, Asos: Wear this baroque print mini skirt with tights and ballet flats for work. Slip into heels after 5pm, and brave the elements without tights if you can!
£14.99, H&M: The digi-floral print makes this skirt an ideal, pocket-friendly spring investment. Wear with a tucked in, oversized t-shirt, blazer and heels for work, and throw a statement necklace into the mix for after-hours.
