What to Wear: Networking Event

Reader Request

I recently graduated from college and just started a new job at an event planning firm. I'm attending a local networking event next week and I don't know what to wear. It's a cocktail party but I don't think that usual cocktail attire is appropriate. Shouldn't I wear something more professional?

I think that the best bet for this one is a slightly more festive version of business casual. This outfit is something you could wear to a creative office, but I've added some fun accessories to make it cocktail party-appropriate.

Top $38 // Skirt $70 // Shoes $26 // Clutch $44 // Bracelets $7 // Earrings $46 // Ring $5
