Odds are one of your many parties will be right after work, and since you probably don’t keep a cocktail dress in your cubicle, Inlander suggests bringing a sequin clutch with a cross-body strap (preferably gold chain links, like this one from Betsey Johnson, $132). Throw it on over your work outfit and you’ll instantly looked dresses up and ready to go.

Pair it with: a red lipstick to brighten your face or a smudge of sparkly eye shadow to take your look into night. And maybe run a brush through your hair for good measure.
