Today I want to share a look with you that can easily be transitioned from a day at the office to a date or girls night out. I absolutely love the classic and professional look of pencil skirts with blazers and I think that both a pencil skirt and a blazer are universally flattering on every body type. I had fun pairing a brighter, more bold pencil skirt with a very simple black blazer and top. If you do not already own a black blazer, I highly suggest you invest in one. Black blazers are extremely versatile and can be dressed up or dressed down!

And now for the "night" portion of this outfit. This outfit can easily be transition for a date or girls night out by taking off the more professional looking blazer and adding a smaller purse. Here's my "night" look:
