Having said that, majority of Millennials now work dual jobs, maintain a couple job profiles and I am definitely not an exception to that. It ain't easy but not impossible. I love facing the challenges posed everyday and the personal satisfaction and self-pride at the end of the day is beyond words. Well, the biggest, not exactly but second most challenging task after home-management, that I face is taking my outfit style from one job to another.

I don't have the conventional 9-5 desk job, its a real flexible job. As for my office attire, there is no set dress code per se, but I like to maintain the workplace ethics. You would rarely see me in a structured pant suit, but you won't find me in mini skirts either. I like to keep my clothing conservative and workspace appropriate. For instance I would wear that high-neck dress to work with those black booties, but in case a blogger event requires my presence later, how would I tweak my look to a more fashionable one???
Read along for some of my style hacks that most of the Millennials swear by.
1) Always bring a layering piece to office- be it a trench coat, or a blazer or even a kimono, which btw is going strong this season, a layering piece will come in handy when taking your look from office to dinner or an event. I would wear a printed something and add an extra layer of printed later for that oh-so-printastic-outfit.
2) A pair of high-heels go a long way- most of us have a pair of pumps hiding under our office desks. For those who are always in flats at work, a pair of classic heels, preferably in tan, should be considered having in your office. In winters I like to bring high heel sleek booties to work, simply coz they are slimming and elegant and pair well with every outfit.
3) Carry a bag with a few accessories- a few pieces of you favorite accessories, that are an effortless way to transform an office look to an evening look, can be kept in reserve at work. I generally rely on a pair of dangly earrings to take my office look up a notch. A silk scarf is also a good option to have in that accessory bag.
4) Consider bringing a makeup touchup- a little hair and makeup touch up and a sweep of bright lipstick at the end of the day would freshen up any look. Must-haves in your makeup bag: comb, hair-tie, hairspray, oil-blotting sheets, body spray, mascara, eyeliner, blush, translucent compact power and lipgloss. All these will come in really handy for those after-work parties.
