As the weather gets warmer at work, I am constantly battling the line between office-friendly and summer-heat appropriate attire. My individual office is degrees warmer than the rest of the building and I spend a lot of quality time sweating profusely and feeling frustrated that open window does not equal breeze. The outfit above finally achieved the perfect medium between warm and cool, and office and summer attire. I'd highly recommend chiffon pleated skirts if you're looking for something both cool and collected. What do all of you do during the summers? I'm looking for some more versatile options (I only have one of these skirts!).
This weekend has gone swimmingly so far. Tonight we cleaned the house (hooray!) before reuniting with some old friends and roommates that were back in town to catch up with friends and we made a low-carb dinner for them (but cheated with some beers and Moscow mules). Ben and I are looking forward to some warm weather tomorrow and spending quality time on Saturday eating carbs! On our slow-carb diet (currently killing my soul), we are allowed to eat all the carbs we want on Saturdays. I'm pretty sure that we are going to erase our good work with waffles, pizza, beer, and more delicious bready products. Suggestions welcome!
I have a very similar skirt in coral, that I got from Forever 21. Great post. :)

ReplyDeleteLove this, the simplicity of it is so chic!
ReplyDeleteI have the same struggle, with no dress code it makes "office appropriate" seem difficult at times.

I adore the blue on you! SO pretty! And that skirt - you pull off slightly sheer things perfectly. I have the opposite problem at work, I'm always freezing.
