There’s a reason most of us started going out on Thursday nights instead of Friday nights once we started college.  If you’re like me, regardless of whether you’re working on Friday, hustling your kids all over town or just catching up on errands, you’re probably exhausted. It’s not at all uncommon for my Friday Day to roll right into my Friday Night with very little time to freshen up in between.

With a look like this – one that successfully straddles my work-life and my casual night-life – I’m prepared.  Hold the vest and heels until evening if you’re running around a lot in the day.  Presto-change-o.  Done.
