Shorts and a vest top. I have a very light blouse to put on over the top when I get video calls.

A sleeveless top and midi skirt coord with a cotton loose shirt on top.

When I was WFH today it was a t-shirt and pants!! 🤣

Hush cotton shirt dresses

Yesterday I wore linen shorts and a loose, cropped, cotton wrap top as I wasn’t patient facing and DGAF (despite being at a meeting with lots of senior staff).

Today I had some calls from home and one visit so threw on a vaguely presentable loose cotton dress.

Tomorrow is my DO thank god.

(This is for the office). I have a board meeting on Friday where people will be in suits but luckily I have a number of more formal summer dresses so should still be ok!

My son is in at work all week as is my daughter. He is wearing trousers and a short sleeved polo shirt (my daughter is in wide cotton trousers and smart sleeveless top). My son doesn’t seem to feel the heat like others. He barely seems bothered 😂

Muji's Cotton Cool Touch range. Cool and also stylish and easy to wear.

Very thin polyester dresses that are short sleeved and calf length with ballet pumps (teacher)

Linen trousers, tank top, kimono.
Professional smart and cool.
I love a kimono, winter long sleeves underneath, spring/autumn short sleeve summer tank top!

Capri pants and long shirts.

Smart maxi dress with sleeves to the elbow and sandals.

Fatface dresses with pockets. I wear them all year around 😂. They are great if you're petite with bulgy bits.

Today a verrrrrry nice v neck bias cut belted black linen maxi dress from Uniqlo. Looks like max Mara, excellent thick linen.

I’m a TA in a roasting hot school! Size 16 and 4ft 11.
On Thursday I wore a pair of wide leg culottes which are basically full length trousers on me and a white top.
Friday I wore a midi skirt and a sort of vest top, gives the illusion of sleeves as we can’t have our shoulders out!
