(Urban Outfitters Dress – similar here; Vest – my own design; Restricted via Ruche Wedges)At nearly 90 degrees every day so far this week we are officially in the thick of things here in Southern California. And while I wish I could spend my 9-5 in a bathing suit, unfortunately I’ve got to put on something both office appropriate that can also weather the heat…
My favorite trick for turning a flimsy summer dress into something that’s suited for work is by adding a vest. On days like these (when it’s too hot for even a cardigan) a vest adds a teensy bit of structure and coverage without really adding any bulk. Plus, if it rumples throughout the day, it kind of just adds to the look (but be sure to pick a dress that will keep it’s shape – one item with wrinkles only and it saves you from looking like you just crawled out of bed). And besides the vest? My vote is for popsicles on your lunch break.
Love this outfit!!!
Thanks Carina!
