I'm always interested in how professionals dress in the summer. I understand it well: I always feel caught between two worlds myself. It's beautiful out! It's only warm and sunny in Vermont for about 3 months of the year. I am entitled to wear my strappy sandals, floral skirts and cute t-shirts!! I've been covered up for 9 months - can't I judiciously show a little skin? I dress so appropriately all fall/winter/spring long!
But on the other hand, I want to look in control and turned out. Large and in charge, as it were. My knowledge and personality are fine and good, but the overall presentation sells it. Should I wear those new bronze sandals with the zipper (yes, yes, yes).
One of my lovely mentors at the London Image Institute, Sarah Hathorne, blogged on just this issue.I'm not going to waste my time recreating the wheel. Just go to her blog and read it. All answers will be revealed.
And remember, after work, at home, you can pad around in your flip flops and bermuda shorts with a G & T. Ahhh, I think I hear my name being called...I'm coming flip flops! I'm coming gin and tonic!
ooo...guilty of the flip flops. They are Birkenstock...

Dressing appropriately becomes rather challenging with the warm weather, doesn't it? Glad to have found your blog, Dawn.

Thanks, Greg. Watch for butt-less jeans and middle age in my new post (one might not think that is as exciting as gin and flip-flops...) Cheers.
