Work Wednesday: Pieces for the Heat

It’s August. Next week, I have meetings where I need to dress like an adult. And it’s going to be 90-degrees-plus every day, with beating down sun and sticky, post-fire air. What a flipping delight that is going to be. What will I be wearing, breezy pieces and anti-perspirant (which is different from deodorant). Here are some breezier picks.

You get a quick walk going and this a-line dress from Theory will help create a breeze that will keep your inner thighs dry while you walk. This is just not a time for pencil dresses, because pencil dresses = chafing.

Speaking for Theory, this lightweight wool tee gives you the ease of a late summer piece, in the color palette of a fall piece. Layer it under jackets and cardigans later one, wear it stand alone now. Am I handwashing this? No. I am putting it in a delicates bag and washing it with my unmentionables.

The great thing about this Modern Citizen blouse is that you don’t need to wear anything over it. It’s a moment all on its own. You can just tuck it into a skirt or pants and move on with your life without too many layers.

Never underestimate the power of a shirtdress this time of year. Looks professional, is comfortable, and isn’t too hot. Also, if you’re thinking you can’t wear this Ann Taylor pick in October, try it with a pair of espresso boots and a camel coat.
