Sick of being the girl who's lugging a duffel bag to the office? Same. Though I've pretty much mastered the art of jamming as many things as possible into a canvas tote, the whole bathroom change that goes along with switching outfits is usually almost as painful as carrying around an overstuffed bag. Are ya with me?

The key to pulling of the desk to drinks or picnic to dance party look, is simply having a solid foundation piece. A mid-length dress, a printed skirt, a slip dress, a cropped sweater, a cute little jumpsuit—each are endlessly versatile. And with the quick addition of a belt, accessory swap, or shoe change, the transformation is oh so easy.

This mid-length dress from Chicwish is an obvious daytime favorite. The gingham print is screams brunch to me and the longer length makes it office approved. To dress it up a bit, I simply added a bolder red lip, swapped in some statement earrings and red heels. So easy, right?

Ok so I say this, yet I continue to overpack my work bag every day. I swear, one day I'll take my own advice!
