HOW TO REPURPOSE YOUR HOLIDAY ACCESSORIES AND OUTFITS.

At the end of winter festivities, when their jolly gathering events are over and all holiday decorations packed away until next November, the world looks as if engulfed in a gloomy atmosphere; so the best way to cheer up our daily work routines is to hold a beat before putting our festive wardrobe essentials in storage. Of course, I don't suggest you to wear sequin dresses for a board meeting at the office, but certainly there are countless ways to repurpose some single pieces or accessories and find out chic street-style ensembles that prove just because the party season and merrymaking are over doesn't mean the embellishments have to be too.
Here are some look tips that will allow you to brighten a dull day at work and transition directly from the office to the happy hour without any need to go back home for a change of outfit:
1) Statement jewellery: choose one single piece of statement jewellery, among necklaces, earrings, brooches and bracelets to elevate either a plain dress or a twin-set and make it fit from 8 am to 8 pm. 
                                  
2) Fur or faux-fur accessories: when in doubt, layer a furry stole atop of your outfit as a luxurious textured afterthought, or match a fur hat to a long statement coat for an amazing look.
   
3) Elegant accessories for your hair: if you are a more understated type, just choose an elegant mink / pearl scrunchie to accessorise you hair, or try an updo with the addition of a chic pearl/svarovski hair clip / comb / band.
Bad hair day? Opt for a beret embellished with a precious-looking brooch.
3) Clutch game strong: swap out your slouchy handbag for either a hard case-clutch or a small chain crossbody bag to elevate basic separates, provided that it is not too sparkling to be worn on a daily basis.
4) Silk shirts/blouses: style down a dramatic silk shirt with either a pair of ripped jeans or a sober suit.
5) Bold makeup colours: wear the same sharp and clear makeup palette you chose for last festive occasions, to enliven your winter dull complexion and provide a vivid contrast to dark outfits.
6) Long pleated skirts: Wear a long elegant pleated skirt with either a t-shirt or an oversized sweater/blazer to feel trendy and chic.       
                     
6) Pattern / Polka-dot tulle tights: Opt for the finishing touch of a pair of pattern tulle tights bought for last Christmas parties to brighten up a plain skirt or dress.
7) Evening pumps: a pair of stylish pumps is the best way to elevate any outfit; use your embellished evening version matched to a pair of jeans for a casual daily look.
