We all love a Little Black Dresses (LBD). They pair so well with everything and making dressing for just about anything easier. This LBD from express is professionally chic for work hours and a classy choice that is also fun for going out to dinner or happy hour.
Its important that I have transitional pieces in my work wardrobe so that in the event time at work gets by me or I have last minute things come up that require staying back an extra hour or so but have plans after work, I can transition to my nightlife activities with ease.
In my search for a LBD work to night transition, I wanted something that would be not only work appropriate but also something I could feel comfortable with heading to dinner or happy hour in.
This Tiered Square Neck Mini Dress is not only an easy transition piece for from work to happy hour or dinner, but also seasonal. Wear with thigh high boots, a cute pair of sandals on a tropical vacation or throw on a cute pair of sneakers for a casual vibe. Make some accessory change outs like throwing on a hat and weather appropriate shoes for a patio brunch date.
The ruffle detailing has completely elevated this otherwise simple solid color black and gives it definition and an overall sophisticated look.

I’ve added a sling back pump with snake skin detailing on the strap for a pop of print and added texture and color. I love that LBDs allow you room to play with color with accessories for dressing up or going more of the casual route.
Throw on a blazer with this Tiered Square Neck Mini Dress to make this work appropriate. Transition to night by losing the blazer and adding a clutch, colorful pumps and accessories.
Date night after work can still be sexy and appropriate with this Wrap Front Hi-Lo Midi Dress. Pair with simple black pumps a red lip and gold jewelry to really set this off. A maxi dress for work doesn’t have to scream casual. Pair this Pleated V-Neck Maxi with a blazer or jacket for the office and a pair of sleek heels. Change out to a more edgy jacket to throw over the shoulders or lose altogether for happy hour perfection.
I love a good shift dress and this Ruffle Sleeve has the right amount of detail without going overboard. Flats for the office and animal print wedge for dinner. More sleeveless with this Side Tie Midi Sheath Dress to wear with a classic black pair of pumps for meeting days.
