Make your favorite sundress office-appropriate

E-mail comment on this item

altAll winter long, you envied the boys in your office who got to stay snuggly and warm in their woolen suits and jackets, while you froze in a skirt suit and tights. But now that summertime is here, the men are sweating and you're ready to hang that suit up in the back of your closet until next September. Here's how you can make your favorite summertime outfits office-appropriate!

If you've got a sundress that you love, it's easy to turn it into something you can wear to the office. Keep your shoulders covered with a light blazer - we love boyfriend styles that'll fall just below your waist and hang a bit loosely, like a coat. Pick a style with a neat pinstriped lining, so you can keep it cool by rolling up the sleeves and showing off a bit of fabric. Throw on a necklace or a pair of earrings and pick out your best high heels, and voila! Your favorite weekend-wear is now office-appropriate.

On warmer days, forego the blazer in favor of a lightweight cardigan. Keep it versatile by picking one in a neutral color, but celebrate the season by looking for details like floral embellishments or brightly-colored buttons. Throw on a brooch for a little sparkle!
