Summer working

July is usually good for a heatwave or two, and it seems like we might just be sliding into one. Of course I love the idea of summer office wear including cropped pants and a sleeveless blouse, though often it's not practical when we keep the door open and I can spy the numbers on the thermostat heading up to 80°.

Much like when the extreme cold dictates my wardrobe of denim and heavy knits, the heat will have me reaching for light dresses and minimalistic sandals.

  2. A boucle tank top? I think I'm in love! Shades of blue suit you so well and this look is no exception, the subtle blue in the top with your navy blue pants suits you perfectly and the necklace just pops against it, looking a slightly different shade in every shot, which is amazing. Personally, I would be quite happy if this summer were heatwave free, but I know that isn't a popular opinion ;)

  6. I love the texture of that top and the fringe detail, so fun! My office is the opposite--it's blazing hot outside but the AC is going full blast inside. So layers it is, always!
