10 work wardrobe essentials for the summer

This is the time of the year where stores are marking down the prices of summer clothes while they stock up for the fall.  That means it’s a great time to buy these 10 items every working woman should have in her closet.  The good thing about these pieces is that they aren’t trends that will fade away.  They are classics that will be in style summer after summer:

1: A-line skirt – The feminine shape of this skirt looks good on all body types.

2: Wrap dress – It took me awhile to find a wrap dress that fit right, but when I did, I fell in love with the fit.  I recommend you find a wrap dress that works on your body.

3: Pencil skirt – Pencil skirts work for any season.  Just make sure your booty isn’t overly-accentuated!  You may need to buy a size up to avoid that.

4: Blazer – I’m a big fan lately of a blazer as a layering piece instead of a cardigan.  I think it’s more professional and ties an outfit together really well.

5: Sleeveless blouse – A must for 90+ degree summer days.  A floral print never goes out style.

6: Striped shirt – The nautical look of stripes is great for the summer.

 

7: Button-up shirt – Classic white button-up shirt – it goes with everything!

8: Neutral pants – A light neutral color pant for the summer is great for casual cooler days.  I personally like gray, but tan and white also work well.

9: Nude heels – Try to find a color that matches your skin tone and it makes your legs look longer – magic!

10: Ballet flats – Comfortable and cute – how can you go wrong?

Any others that you’d add to this list?
