Another Petite Fashion Challenge is here! This time the challenge was hosted by the ever stylish Elle of Fast Food and Fast Fashion.
This month’s challenge:
…create an outfit that accounts for the various environmental factors that plague us in the summer. I want to know how you dress when it’s 90 degrees outside and 65 degrees inside. Do you utilize peel-able layers? Are you particular about choosing fabric that is light but resistant? Or do you just tack on a blazer over summer clothes?
Toronto has definitely experienced a few heat waves this summer. It can be difficult to dress appropriately for the weather then step into the office where the a/c is blasting!
I love the look of the pencil skirt but it’s been way too hot and sticky for that lately. I try to pick materials that are light weight and comfortable but I also want to remain conservative and appropriate for a work place setting.
(I REALLY wear this at my desk. Seriously.)
Shop a similar look:
I totally agree, NO statement jewelry when it’s hot.. it feels terrible! I go for lightweight scarves instead.
Maybe I should get a snuggie too! Haha I literally burrito myself in blankets, air conditioning is so pesky sometimes..
Lol, so cute! I’d totally live in a Snuggie at my office too – I’ve been known to bundle up in my parka when it’s cold inside!
Love your outfit! Great call on the Snuggie!!! Hehehehe.
Great outfit!! It looks nice and breezy, not too tight and light colours, great for the heat wave weather! I find that true about statement jewelery too, especially in this weather, yuck!! I’m sad I missed out on this fashion challenge and it wasn’t hard! I can’t believe you included a pic of your snuggie…LOL…love it!!
I have a leopard snuggie and I love it!
Those outfits are totally adorable and stylish. I think these clothes look refreshing and simple enough to catch attention. Seriously, the snuggie was funny!
Love this outfit. Love the snuggie even more. I’m thinking I need one for the winter. You look too cute!
I love that snuggie pic!!! YOur outfit is super cute, love the silk skirt
i won a snuggie at a company christmas party! really keeps you warm!
great outfit for the challenge! i need to participate next time
LOL…You are SO cute to put on the snuggie!!! I think this is a great outfit to suit a 30 degree temperature difference! I recently noticed that many of my skirts are the same style…pencil skirt so I am currently venturing out into sthg diff, styles like the one you are wearing. Change is good
Love the muted colors of your outfit – the subtle prints give it such interest! I guess I have no excuse not to pick up a Snuggie myself to deal with my own office vent…
LOL – my sister has a snuggie, too! Hahahaha…wait, back to the topic at hand–your work outfit is very pretty and feminine!
Lol, love the snuggie!

You are a brave woman to publically admit to wearing a Snuggie. LOL! I love it.

This outfit is so pretty! I love the shape of your skirt! And that top is a great cut, as well!
Very true about jewelry during the hot months…I rarely reached for a bracelet this summer. If I did it was dainty!
