Transitional pieces come in different forms like plain wardrobe staples, cool edgy pieces and even pieces with attention-grabbing details. Opt for one that easily works for every event you need to be at. An intricately detailed dress with a quirky silhouette will totally work in this case.

Accessories Are Key

Typically, you wouldn't need a lot of accessories if you intend to pull off a dramatic look but essentials like shoes and bags are never out of the question. Seal your office-glam look with pumps and switch them out for heeled sandals or flat mules for a casual look.

Layering

It is no secret that layering outfits can change the feel of a look in undeniable ways. Layer your embellished dresses over a white tee for a serious look and loose the t-shirt when the time to let loose comes.

Hair & Make-up
