Summer Style: How to Kill it at Work This Summer

Summer is here and most of us are experiencing temperatures well into the 90s on a daily basis.  I personally would love to show up at the office in a pair of cutoffs, tank top and flip flops everyday; however that isn’t my reality.  For those of us that have to oblige to the rules of dressing professionally on a daily basis I’ve put together a list of my three summer essentials that are office appropriate. Midi Skirt Ladies I promise you can never go wrong with a midi skirt.  The shape and length make them perfect for various body types and an easy piece to style for work.  Midi skirts by themselves are show stoppers so try and keep the rest of your outfit simple.  In both of the pictures above I choose a simple t-shirt, bold skirt and platform sandals.  Not only are midi skirt perfect for spring/summer…
