Summers in an office environment are often difficult, and with all this talk about dress code, it’s important to understand how to dress appropriately for your office. Every environment is very different, even within the same field, so ask the questions if you are unsure and I’m always prepared with a sweater incase the air-conditioning is blasting too much.

If bright colours aren’t your thing (they clearly are mine), but you still want to dress more in tune with the season, I recommend some florals in muted tones. Keeping the colours understated, will allow you to be on trend, and still be true to yourself.

Dress: H&M (old but these are cute: long sleeve or tank), Jacket: Helmut Lang, Mules: Design Lab

Fashion Magazine asked their style panel what our fashion resolutions were for 2015, and before picking plan, I looked back at last year’s post to see if I held on to my resolution. The plan was to fall in love with the pieces I purchased and slow down the spending and shopping. Overall, I definitely feel that I’ve invested in basics, that are timeless.

This year, I’ll be moving my dream home that I purchased this past summer with my husband, so moneys will be tied up with saving for the big move. I find that the easiest way to change up your look, quickly and inexpensively is through accessories. Here’s what I told Fashion Magazine.
