Three Easy Outfits for August Workdays

As summer wanes, the clothes you bought in May and June start to lose their luster.  End-of-season closet boredom is a real thing.  But here are three wonderfully fun and easy outfits for August workdays.

Professional // Malachite Curio Stud ($77) //  J.Crew Faux Wrap Top ($68, seven colors) // Edie Full-Length Pant ($188, petite and tall) // BR Side Cutout Kitten Heel ($128)

Business Casual // Chico’s Mixed Metal Coin Drops ($20) // J.Crew Tie-Waist Shirtdress ($98, four colors) // Nine West Block Sandal ($80)

Casual // Kenneth Jay Lane Gold Tone Necklace ($36) // H&M Cotton Stripe Dress ($20) // Steve Madden Alina Sandal ($59)

Professional.  This outfit is colorful, but suit jacket-eligible.  Because, sadly, for those of us in conservative offices almost never get a day off from the strict dress code.  But I thought the field green blouse brightened the look up a bit.  You could also swap out a navy blazer for a white one.

If you’re looking for new suiting to get your through the year, Ann Taylor has some good choices in their sale section.  Plus-size?  Give the suits at Eloquii a look.

Business Casual.  This look probably tilts to the conservative side of business casual, but I just loved this dress so much.  It would be perfect for a conference or for a casual off-site.  It comes in several colors, so if the red isn’t for you, you might find another that is.

If you like shirt dresses, this one from COS is a more modern feel.  For something more playful, try this sleeveless Sail to Sable dress.  Plus-size?  Try this sleeveless Tahari number or this 525 America dress in several colors.

You could probably also get away with a flat sandal in some offices.  These taupe Sole Society flat sandals are so cute with their knotted vamp, and their just $32.

Casual.  An oldie, but a goodie.  A striped dress is the one you will reach for all summer long.  Work, play, pool time, vacation, etc..  And at $20, anything can happen to it and you won’t cry in your pina colada about it.

I added a long necklace with a turquoise accent and a coral sandals to bring in some color.  I also considered these yellow flats with this green tassel necklace.

Plus-size?  Try this tie-sleeve tee dress.  Maternity?  Try this Ingrid and Isabel dress.
