Easy Style Tips! How to Dress for Happy Hour (Los Angeles Edition): Office to Drinks at Bungalow in Santa Monica

Hello, all work and no play is completely and utterly missing the point. A girl must find time for the happiest of hours...happy hour. As if work isn't stressful enough, why stress about what you are going to wear once you leave the office? Follow Melissa's lead and incorporate these easy-to-wear pieces into your work wardrobe. It's a cinch!

Meet Melissa.
Melissa sales Ferrari's in Calabasas but resides on the Westside. With that said, after her glorious commute (we know how fab traffic is in LA) she heads to Santa Monica's celebrity-favorite bar & restaurant, The Bungalow, for a drink. Or maybe two.

So what does she wear while negotiating with the A-List and some of LA's biggest power players all day? She opts for a romper, tribal-inspired earrings and open-toed platforms. Serious enough for the professional side of things yet fun enough for when she takes a client in a spin in a 458.

Key Take-Aways:
1) Classic One Piece (Psst...if you aren't a romper-kind-of girl, choose a solid-colored dress)
2) Open-Toed Platforms
3) Accessorize with personalized jewelry - inspired by Mel's earrings?

Once she leaves the showroom she slips on a pair of retro round-framed shades, layers her look with a cropped denim jacket and rocks a structured satchel.

Add On:
1) Sunnies
(Try a fun pair! This is an easy way to incorporate a trend of the moment without letting it overwhelm your personal style)
2) Denim Jacket
(Mel's cropped version gives this wardrobe staple a modern update)
3) Satchel
(A classic satchel is sophisticated enough for the office yet cool enough to pull off at cocktail hour)



Are you ready for happy hour? Meet you there...
