Black skirt. White blouse. Patent leather pumps.

Pretty much your standard workplace attire, but I think it’s the small details that make this outfit special and give it a slightly retro vibe.

Since I knew I’d be dashing to several meetings throughout the day, I wanted to wear something polished and not too fussy.  Trust me when I say I was grateful for such a light-weight, breezy blouse and comfy heels as I hopped in and out of hot subway stations and braved the sticky summer heat.

I’d love to hear how you guys are managing to stay cool, calm and collected this summer…

    Love this outfit, so simple yet so chic!

    I’m staying cool by either being at the pool or in the air conditioning!  In this humidity it’s a bear outside!

    Lovely blouse! The sleeves are so cute and fluttery. I strictly wear skirts most of the time and when it gets really hot, I try and pick out my lightest fabrics and anything I know won’t get tangled up in my legs and make me hot hah.

    Like you said this is classic workplace attire, but it looks great how you put it together. I love the polka dot details, and patent leather is a nice touch instead of the normal flat leather. You look great.

    I love this outfit for several reasons.  #1 I love black and white, #2 I love polka dots and #3 it just looks really chic.  Sometimes the simplest things are the most effective and you look great!
