Hello! 

During one of the first warm spring days, I started thinking about good summer work outfits. Summer in DC can be really muggy. And when you're taking the metro to work (like I do) it takes everything not to walk into work drenching.

So dressing in layers is important for summers here because it's hot outside but then freezing in the office. For work I like sticking to neutrals - they're conservative just enough - and layering different shades of neutrals on top of each other gives a sophisticated look. I also like dressing in ways that make it easy to transition from day to night for after-work dinners in the city.

What are some of your tips for dressing in the summer?

Thanks for reading!

I love classic looks like a feminine pencil skirt and heels. It's always fun to try new trends, but sometimes the classics are all you really need.

The pencil skirt-and-heels is a perfectly feminine silhouette and therefore timeless. You can always update it with trends of the moment, like stacking on jewelry, pairing a current print, or trying on trendy nail polish. This look is great for work too, especially with the right handbag to carry all your work to and from home.
