Great article. Thank you for putting in all this work to link all the pieces. I always find it difficult in the summer to dress for work. I work in a corporate environment and the last thing I want to wear in 90 degree weather is a blazer.

Anytime Anna, and I hear you! Although I always needed to carry a sweater and/or a blazer because the office was freezing with the AC blasting.

Hi Neelam, hope you’re well and getting better.

This post was so helpful for me, as I couldn’t figure out what to wear in such heat with toddlers around me ☺️ so thank you much for all this inspiration!!

Do you think the Leset dress will be nice also in white? As I can’t find my size in the black.

I love your IG posts and just found you on Substack. Excellent! I’m debating the leather wrap skirt. Can I ask how you what shoe/boot you would style it with in fall and winter?

Thanks for being here! I have a post on Instagram where I show them with my Lulu leather boots. https://www.instagram.com/p/C9Cp8w-OM-2/?igsh=YXR0aHMzMWF5bjJp

I had the exact same experience with the Elsa Peretti cuff! I tried on the xs in store and it nearly fell off when I lowered my arm 😂 Ended up finding a 70s modernist sterling cuff that miraculously fit my wrist after bending the edges in a bit. In all, a blessing in disguise - this cuff isn't as ubiquitous, and it has an interesting story that was fun to research (not to mention being 1/5 the price).

Happy to find out I'm not the only one with dashed bone cuff dreams. Your Massimo Dutti cuff is beautiful.

I don’t understand why they don’t take special orders for this piece! Happy with my Massimo though as I’m sure you’re happy with your treasure.

Aces for categorizing all cool things as ‘Betterment’ and thriving with the Smiths and New Order dose 🥰 Brilliant piece Neelam!

Great write up! My summer wardrobe is small and I tend to wear the same items over and over. I do have some great sandals to make them feel different. I get excited when fall approaches when I can pull out the fun stuff.

Sooooooo good! Thanks for sharing your tips, Neelam! Miami is sooooo hoooot and humid most of the time and this helps so much when dressing for those running around days when you still want to look chic! You're the BEST!
