The phone rings. The invitation

comes. You are invited to that special

event, but there's a real problem—

there will be no time to change into

evening attire.

Wear a basic black dress, basic skirt and top, or well cut trouser suit. Carry a few well-chosen

accessories and stronger makeup colors.

A classic white shirt can go right into evening with a frilly skirt and rhinestone accessories.

A well-cut pair of trousers can take on a new life with a silk, embroidered, or sequined top.

A basic black top can be belted with a rhinestone belt or ribbon and added to a satin skirt for last-

minute panache.

A basic suit jacket can go into the evening when paired with satin or lace

slacks.

Take a regular day suit, and remove the blouse under the jacket. Extra skin is

appropriate for the evening hours. If you're feeling just too underdressed,

then add a little lace hanky at the bodice.
