When it gets warm out, I am very appreciative that we can wear skirts and dresses to work! I feel so bad for the guys who are wearing jeans and a button down when it is 90 degrees outside! When it gets hot out, I love to pair skirts with a tank top and cardigan or blazer. (hello it is like 40 degrees inside an office building, brrr!) When wearing skirts or more casual dresses, I opt for closed toed shoes. I feel like sandals can make your outfit seem too casual for an office building.
You know what your dress code is like where you work, so this may or may not work for you. If you like the look, but need a longer skirt, check out this circle skirt or this pencil skirt. Almost all of my friends are teachers so I know this would never work for them because they are always crouching by desks or sitting on the floor! However, this works for where I work because I am sitting in a cubicle all day. I base my skirt length off of the "finger test" from high school... where the bottom of your skirt hem has to go past your fingertips. (Anyone else remember that rule, haha!?)
Have a good weekend!
I would love it if you would follow me on GFC or Bloglovin'!

ReplyDeleteI totally follow the fingertip rule too, haha! Love this look for work. I'm glad I have control of the air conditioning in my office - being freezing at work all day is the worst!

Love the blue skirt! I really need to get some more color in my wardrobe... I always stick to black and grey! Gah!
ReplyDeleteI like your thought with respect to a close toed shoe - I think that definitely makes a summer skirt more office appropriate!

I love polka dots! A skirt is such a great option for the workplace or around home. I actually find them cooler and easier than shorts sometimes. Have a wonderful weekend.

I haven't worked in an office setting in a few years, but your outfit is similar to what I would wear when I did. It's classic. Love the purpley-blue with the black too.
ReplyDeleteDarcy I like your cute pencil skirt... I too agree wearing a cute closed toe shoe is better when working as it looks more professional... We have air conditioning where I work, so I always wear a sweater or blazer over my outfit xox
ReplyDeleteThis outfit looks gorgeous on you! I love that cobalt blue color.
ReplyDeletejessica / www.teamwiking.com
cute work outfit and LOVE that necklace :)
ReplyDeleteLove your work outfit! And your formula sounds just about right to me. Pencil skirt + lightweight blouse + cardigan was my favorite summer combo when I worked an office job.
ReplyDeleteYou look absolutely adorable!

That's nice when you have those options! It's really helpful during those hotter months. Nice outfit.
