If your life is anything like mine then you find yourself heading straight from the office to an evening event or dinner at least a couple of times a week. But what do you wear? It needs to be office appropriate but also event or evening appropriate too.

The easiest way is to simply slip on a couple of pieces of fabulous jewellery. Here are [number] collections of jewellery that you can add to a simple Little Black Dress, or Little White Dress; or even a plain tee with a nice pencil or circle skirt.
