When I was working in an office, I stuck mostly with dresses because they were easy, and I could make them work year round. This was especially true in the summer — there was absolutely NO way I was wearing pants, and dresses were the perfect light solution.

Now I’m working from home, and my casual wardrobe is rather lacking. I still love dresses for summer, but I’d feel a little silly wearing them day to day. (Truth be told, I spend more time in my PJs than I care to admit, but I’m working on it people!)

Since I don’t have an office dress code to abide by, I’m ready to embrace shorts for the summer, and your typical denim just isn’t cutting it anymore. I’d love to add some brights, patterns, and scallops to my closet. How about you?
