outfit: summertime office

summer office outfit everlane target

Summertime in the office can be tricky.  We need to balance staying cool on our commute while maintaining modesty and professionalism in the office.  For those extra hot days, I gravitate towards linens and cottons in cuts that don’t cling to the body.  Here I’m wearing Everlane’s texture tank with a loose fit linen pencil skirt from Target.

outfit: breton stripes + chinos

breton and chinos

I set out to the new Cos store in soho to fill a few holes in my essentials wardrobe, a breton stripe top and classic chinos. Here I’m wearing a lose fit 3/4 length cotton/wool breton top with dropped shoulders, tucked into the front of straight leg 100% cotton chinos, that sit nice and high on the waist.  Nothing groundbreaking here.  But it is exciting to start building a solid wardrobe foundation.
