Being a busy serielpreneur (yes, an obsessive business "starter"), I'd found it difficult to keep the "business" in my business wardrobe during the sweltering summer months. That is, until I began styling and shopping for a living. With my healthy social media obsession, I've found very creative ways to keep my clients cool, stylish, and professional while rockin' their business mojo at mixers, meetings, and speaking gigs.
My top 10 favs from Pinterest, Polyvore, and Instagram:
10. The Classic "ShirtDress:" No matter where you’re going or what you’re doing, a shirtdress that flatters your figure and goes with flats or heels will never let you down.
9. High-Waist Flare Skirt: This airy skirt keeps cool while staying functional. For a work-perfect look, rock a printed high-waist flare skirt (preferably silk) and tuck a tailored tank into it, add a mini blazer, BAM....you're done and out the door!
8. Wrap Dresses: Perfect for the girl on the go, one could literally run out of the door in 15 minutes with a wrap dress, mules, and a stylish handbag!
7. White Trousers and/or Jeans: Because we must honor the season (and our figures) with white bottoms, period.
6. Pencil Skirts: B-O-D-Y need I say more?
5. Peplum Tops: Perfect for work or play, peplum tops give a gal an effortless figure while adding style and pizazz to trousers, pencils skirts, or even jeans (for casual biz events of course).
4. The Pleaded Skirt: For my 9-5 ladies out there who are looking for an alternative to wearing pants every day to the office, try a pretty pleated skirt. Go for one that’s an appropriate length (like this one that skims the ankles) and a pick lightweight silk material that will keep you feeling cool all day long.
3. A Full-Length Jumpsuit: The hottest piece a woman could own is a full-length jumpsuit! Made for curves, jumpers totally create an hour-glass figure while giving a cool classic look with any bolero shrug (play) or mini blazer for work! Don't forget to add a statement necklace to really set this piece off!
"I love the look of this full-pant jumpsuit in a creamy white. It takes a basic summer romper and instantly updates it. Plus, an all-white ensemble is the perfect summer uniform." - Lauren Conrad
2. Tulip Skirts: The most adorable "bottom" a gal could rock with a classic button down, prim blouse, or even a tailored or bedazzled tank! Stick with the nautical blues to really soak in your seasonal swag.
1. Summer Ballet Flats: Because a girl can't live in heels alone, rockin ballet flats this summer totally gives your toesies a break from the model high heels, while keeping you cool and relaxed while running around in the heat!
