It can be financially draining shopping for two separate wardrobes so to avoid this problem, we suggest thinking about pieces that can be “dressed down” during the work week, and “dressed up” for your time off. With your personal style in mind, look for items that are more flexible and can be paired easily with other items.
During the day, for a more minimalistic approach, one or two rings from our celebration collection would be great- they won’t get in the way, make noise or grab unwanted attention. After work, for the perfect amount of glam, we suggest adding a dress ring or two. A bigger stone will certainly turn some heads!
Always dress to impress at work, however as long as your putting your best foot forward with a good attitude, strong work ethic and great communication skills, you’ll be great either way. Confidence is everything so make sure that you stay true to your style, and your personality.
