WANT to pull of a transformation worthy of Clark Kent?
Everything you need can fit into your handbag.
This year ‘s pashmina is the brightly colored,jeweled belt – a must for those who work,but want to play,this holiday party season.
It ‘s soaring popularity goes beyond the fact that it so effortlessly and effectively jazzes up office-friendly attire of head-to-toe black – it also folds up and fits in your bag.
Think:No more schlepping party clothes into work.Or worse,no more squandering quality flirting time while trekking home to change for the evening. The belt,which works on most body types (tightly-cinched skinny belts may
look best on hard-bodies,but another option is to select the thicker version which looks slick worn slung low on the
hips),may be the most popular choice for those of us who need to make a fast,style change of attire in the phone-booth size office restroom.
