What to wear: A muggy day

It seems like every girl in San Francisco is wearing some version of this outfit today. Including me! Start with a light and charming skirt and accessorize away:

Pleated skirt – This choice is from the Macy’s Juniors department. You can also find great inexpensive knee-length skirts like this at Nordstrom’s B.P. and Forever 21.
Basic t-shirt – The v-neck and ruched center gives this shirt a bit more of a dressy look.
Bangle bracelet – Anthropology is selling this one for $500. I have something similar in bamboo that cost me $5 in Nice.
White purse – Despite the initial terrible smell, this purse from Urban Outfitters is a fun piece for summer outfits.
Sandals – Like flip flops, but appropriate for work.
Headband – From Scuni at Target. Adds an “Italian actress from the 1950’s” element!
