Since I teach (meaning: work full time) from August through May, I don’t work (meaning: read by the pool, do laundry, grocery shopping, etc. during the week) during June and July. Since most of those activities don’t require a full wardrobe, I tend to stick to wardrobe basics and wear them over and over. (My college roommates used to tease that I was like a cartoon character in that way–I wore the same styles on repeat.)
This outfit is my Summer 2017 uniform: a versatile, breathable shirt dress that I snagged on Poshmark at the beginning of the summer (I have the same dress in chambray and white from last summer), on-trend pearl slide sandals (also versatile), and a cognac cross-body bag. I am ready for anything! Por ejemplo: a day at the museum and meeting a friend on a patio for happy hour that evening.
Happy summer! And I hope you find a summer uniform that fits your style.
