Raise your hand if you think summer is the hardest season to dress for--especially for the office. I probably spend more money on summer clothes than any other season just because I'm trying to get it right--find comfortable, professional outfits that won't make me look sloppy or wrinkled and will help me stay cool. Here are three outfits that I've worn again and again to work this summer--all inexpensive and non-wrinkly and super comfortable.
| Outfit 1: I stole this look from J. Crew but found the skirt for $20 from Loft here. The skirt fits me like a glove and is made of a cotton/stretch blend that doesn't wrinkle. Black & white goes with everything. The skirt is available in more sizes in stores. The top I got from J. Crew for $18.55.  |  J.

| Outfit 2: I stole the concept for Outfit 2 from J. Crew too--a crochet skirt and crisp white oxford. I paid $29 for the skirt from Athleta. Never wrinkles, goes everywhere. Similar here. The shirt I've had forever, but I recently bought a new one from J. Crew Factory for about $33 including shipping.  |  J. Crew Factory outfit |
| Outfit 3: I think dresses are often the least expensive and the least trouble, especially in the summer when you don't have to wear tights. I got this dress at H&M for $19.95. It would have been really short in my usual size, so I sized up until the length felt sassy but appropriate for work. I added my own belt and a lovely purse that a friend brought back for me as a gift from Italy. They still carry the dress in the store. Never wrinkles.  |  H&M dress, $19.95 |
