What to Wear: Summer Layers

Brr…it’s getting back to the regular July fog and cold in the city. Summer dressing without resorting back to winter turtlenecks can be tricky. Here’s one outfit I’d love to wear on a freezing cold day at the office:

Dress – I love this white lace dress from Anthropologie for $178. Maybe it will go on sale?

Cardigan – Mustard yellow cardigan with brass buttons for $38.

Belt – Metallic skinny belt from Macy’s.

Tights – The perfect color gray tight from Spanx.

Shoes – Blue suede platform pumps on sale for $160.

Purse – Straw handbag is a cheeky nod to beach totes.

Sunglasses – Basic aviators from Forever 21.

Earrings – Agate and gold studs from Anthropologie for $48.

Flowers – Scabiosas and succulents featured on Botanical Brouhaha. Would looks so nice on my desk with green pencils in a gold cup.

I admire your aesthetic for color when putting outfits together. Ivory, mustard, and navy looks really fresh to me. Also, the proportions of each color are perfect. You have a good eye for color and design!
