Summer Office Go-To: Midi Dresses for 9 to 5 and Beyond

Dressing for the office is oh so tricky in the summer.

Even if it’s 90 degrees outside, chances are your office is blasting the air conditioning and you’re probably freezing. This is the perpetual dilemma for pretty much even woman I know who works in an office. Some real solutions involve leaving a warm jacket or blanket at the office, or even bringing in your own space heater. An ideal outfit for warm days and cold offices is a midi dress – stylish enough to wear to happy hour but also work appropriate for your office dress code (just be sure to layer if you get cold!). One of my favorites this summer has been this purple printed midi dress from Astr the Label  (< if you haven’t checked out this brand yet be sure to – I love their midi/maxi dresses and casual summer tops). If you’re looking for some inspiration for summer office style, look no further!
