Contrary to popular belief, you can wear your favorite party pieces beyond holidays and weddings. While we’re not suggesting you show up to the office in a ball gown (although a girl can dream), there’s a modest way to rock your cocktail attire for more commonplace occasions.

Keep Your Party Pieces In Rotation

For A Concert

For The Museum

Swap a crop top and clutch for a sheer long-sleeved blouse and leather backpack to extend the life of a metallic midi skirt.

For A Dinner Date

A sexy slip dress gets cozy with a cashmere top and neutral accessories for a romantic evening look.
