Summer Safari Chic for the Office + High Five for Friday Linkup

This post contains affiliate links + gifted items.

TGIF!!! I really try to enjoy my weekdays, but I’m really looking forward to having a movie night on our couch tonight. It has been super hot-hot-hot here in Kentucky, so I’ve been wearing a lot of linen pieces, like this shirtdress. While the soaring temps can make dressing for the office a little difficult, this safari chic look is the perfect summer workwear!

How cute is this neutral linen shirtdress? The beige and white pattern is SO summery, and there’s a lot of different ways you could wear it. Here, I’ve went for a more neutral safari look with a touch of green, but you could totally rock this dress with hot pink, bright blue, etc. It fits pretty TTS (size down if you’re in-between sizes), and the length is awesome for those of us who are taller. And last summer, I didn’t wear a lot of dresses because I was nursing and/or pumping throughout the day. This dress, however, works for nursing moms too! Best yet, it’s office appropriate.

My favorite part of this outfit, though, is the shoes! These white leopard sandals are so versatile. The white background set them apart from all of my other leopard shoes. If you’ve been looking for a fun sandal that you can jazz up multiple outfits with, then you should grab these.

How are you staying cool while dressing for the office this summer???

DON’T FORGET: the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale goes LIVE to the public at 12:30 p.m. eastern time today. I did a post with my favorite picks under $60, along with what I don’t think you should waste your money on. Many of my picks sold out BEFORE the end of the day last Friday, so I expect them to go quickly today as well.
