Add some flair.Take your basic white blouse from boring to glamorous with a jeweled necklace or sparkly chandelier earrings. Remember to loosen the collar and roll up the sleeves for a devil-may-care attitude. Trade your practical pumps and flats for sexy stilettos or knee-high boots.2. Amp up your makeup.A red lip or thick black eyeliner goes a long way in transforming your look from day to night. These classic nighttime makeup staples are not usually appropriate for the office but look great over cocktai ls. Keep you hair up during the workday? Take it down and shake it out for a tousled going-out look.3. Relax your look.Your suit jacket and tie are just a pair of dark denim jeans away from a stylish look for cocktails. Be sure to switch out your wingtips for a more casual shoe, like suede oxfords. Ladies, if hose or tights are an office requirement, take this opportunity to lose them.4.
