Whoa, baby, it got hot. We’re talking the kind of hot that the second you walk out the door the sweat starts to drip off your face and your questioning why you needed to leave the air conditioning. Because of this, I’ve been wearing some warm weather friendly pieces I’ve found in my closet and have been working to bring you some fun outfits for the office. It can be hard to find something out of the “black pants” box when it comes to your 9-5 but hopefully, in this week’s roundup, you’ll spot a few looks that you can recreate to add a little pep in your step.

Before we dive in, let’s get the logistics out of the way to make this process easier on you – for sizing reference, I am 5’4, 125 lbs on a good day, typically a 2 in tops/dresses and 26 in jeans/pants with a preferred inseam of 26-28 inches. Bra size is 30DDD [I get it from my momma]. Hopefully, this helps when determining what size you’d need. Also, feel free to follow along here for daily outfits and check out this Pinterest board where you can also get some ideas! Which reminds me, you can pin any of these looks below to save for future reference! Simply click on the links below and you will be taken directly to the retailer where you can shop! Alright, fellow “I like to get dressed” friends, let’s begin!
