When you work in an office, it’s important to have pieces in your wardrobe that can transition from day to night. You’ll get more wear out of the item and it will become a staple piece in your closet.
When Banana Republic contacted me about their new Desk to Dinner collection, which features work-worthy styles that easily transition to dinner-ready ensembles, I was thrilled to style the accordion pleat skirt from the collection.
Transitioning this versatile skirt from desk to dinner was a cinch—it was as simple as switching up a top and swapping out accessories. The pleats make it both a classic piece in your wardrobe and a fun and flirty piece for a post-work happy hour or date night.
The first outfit I styled for the office was very classic—the crisp white shirt was a perfect pairing with the pleated navy skirt. I also added a skinny leopard belt to cinch the waist.

My next outfit is also an office-appropriate pick, but I added a pop of color with a collar-less silk blouse. I chose a gold studded belt to play off of the gold buttons on the top and kept the nude heels to elongate the leg.
these are all great looks! love those zara heels too! xo

I just change into heels (usually don't wear heels at work). I love the way the necklace works with the first outfit.

I really love how you have a classic/timeless style and yet keep it modern and simple! And mostly I like how you keep being true to yourself and what you like and always manage to look like a lady!

Perfect timing. I just bought a pleated skirt from Kohl's over the weekend. Wanted to wear it today and could not for the life of me figure out how to style it. I have a 40% coupon for BR that I think I might have to use on the skirt in Mediterranean Blue or Orange Slice. Decisions. Decisions.
Love the third look the best! Might just have to check this skirt out myself – it's perfect from transitioning from the office to evening!
