I Just Found the Perfect Work-Appropriate Dresses of the Season
Summer dress code got your stressed? Have no fear, these cutie options are totally office-approved.
Summer is here and I am hot. And when I’m hot, I do not want to wear uncomfortable clothing. (Ok I lied, I never want to wear uncomfortable clothing.) The mere thought of wearing pants to work on a 90-degree day makes me drip in sweat. So I’m not wearing pants this summer. That sounds bad, but instead I’m only wearing dresses. Light, airy, adorable dresses that will keep me cool while also making me look cool—but not “too cool” that I’m gonna get a call from HR. (Because as much as I want to feel air everywhere, my coworkers don't want to see my backside—or 75 percent of my skin.)
So if you’re hot like me, let those legs be free and stock your wardrobe with the most flattering dresses of the season. Stay cool, my friends.
