*Ok, so I know that in my post yesterday, I was wearing boots and a scarf, so bear with me today 🙂 I am confident that it IS going to get warm – HOT! – again soon!!
Brittany lives in Dallas – and if you know anything about Texas in the summer, you know that they practically want to run around in nothing but underwear it’s so ridiculously hot. August + Texas = a sweaty, disgusting mess.
As much as we both wish we could get away with a tank top and shorts at the office all summer long, I am pretty sure that will be seriously frowned upon! We both work in offices, so we thought we’d share how to dress appropriately for work in the summer.
My office is business casual, so I can get away with quite a lot more than if I worked at a strictly business office – say, an attorney or investment bank. I can even wear jeans on Friday as long as I am not going to a client’s office.
My favorite summer outfit is a short-sleeve or sleeveless shift dress day after day after day. Wearing a dress allows for a breeze, still looks professional and is so easy! My rule of thumb is to ensure they’re fingertip length or longer and pair a cardigan with any dress that has straps slimmer than two inches in length. (Sometimes I also pack a cardigan in my bag because even though it’s 100+ degrees outside, they keep it like an ice box inside. It’s nice to have it when I’m indoors!)
Here are a couple of great options:
This Target dress is a steal at only $19.99!
Top your pants with one of these:
As a reminder, the first Wednesday of the month, Brittany and I will be posting style ideas for a specific event. We plan to do a mix of both special events and everyday occasions, from how to mix prints or what to wear to a wedding. Is there a particular look you want ideas on styling? Leave us a comment or shoot either of us an email; we are more than happy to incorporate it!
I adore warm weather when it comes to dressing for work- throwing on a dress is definitely my go to and after pairing tights and sweaters and footwear all winter, it feels so easy!
