Summer Office Style

It can be hard to know what to wear to work on a 90 degree day, especially if your office blasts the AC like mine does. Some workplaces allow for extra casual attire in  the summer, but others expect that you still dress up and look professional. So how do you stay cool on your commute or lunch break (while soaking up some mid-day vitamin D, of course), but keep warm enough in the frigid office…all while dressing professional (and cute?!)? If you’ve ever struggled to put together the perfect summer outfit for work, then you’re in the right place! I’ve put together 5 fun, colorful, and comfortable professional summer outfits to take you through the hot summer days.

• Black & white maxi skirt with a bright sleeveless blouse – Pop on some polished black sandals, some simple silver jewelry, and grab a cardigan for the chilly office and you’re set! This outfit is one of my favorites because it is seriously so comfy 🙂

• Polka dot skirt with a bright blouse-y tank and lace-up flats – Again, put on some simple jewelry (pearl earrings are a favorite of mine for work) and grab a black cardigan on your way out the door.

• Floral dress with nude accessories – I absolutely LOVE this dress! The fit is literally perfect for me so I bought it in three different prints! This pink floral one is so bright and colorful – it’s nearly impossible to have a bad day in this dress 🙂 Pop on some polished nude sandals and grab your tote bag and cardigan or blazer to finish off the look.

• Blue & white dress – Perfect dress #2 haha! I really like this blue and white floral print for summer. I think it’s so bright and airy…just what summer should be. Add some nude sandals and a grey cardigan and you’ll be ready to head out the door!

• Coral stripe dress – Perfect dress #3! I tend to think this stripe pattern is a little more professional than either of the floral dresses shown above. It pairs really well with either sandals and a cardigan for a more casual look, or pumps and a blazer for a day you need to look more professional.

I absolutely love how colorful these outfits are. Summer is not meant for all black or all nude on a daily basis. Bring on the color! Bring on the fun prints! These outfits are also awesome because they are so quick and easy to throw on in the morning. The more sleep the better! 🙂 Now go get ’em boss babe! 😉
