How to Dress for Success: Summer Office Outfits
When it comes to summer work outfits, casual is key. Taking the lead are cool material, ruffled layers, and flirty lines. The 2020 women's summer work outfits consist of both classic pieces and the newest trends. From boyfriend blazers to fresh colors, your summer office outfits will certainly make a splash when you return to work.
Ready to browse? Here are some great women's summer work outfits to start with.

1. Calvin Klein Women's Short Sleeve Belted Midi Dress
The midi dress, with its intriguing hemline and flattering silhouette, bolted onto the 2019 fashion scene when stars like Kylie Jenner dawned them everywhere. In 2020, midis are still going strong, and have made their way to summer office outfits. We especially love this Calvin Klein Midi's clean shape and elegant appeal. It's a smart piece to start your summer office outfits with.


2. BCBGMAXAZRIA Women's Wrap Leopard Print Dress
Both work-friendly and casual, the wrap dress is a versatile style. For the office, tone it down with a jacket and pumps; for happy hour, liven it up with bright accessories. We especially like this leopard printed dress by BCBGMAXAZRIA, because of its feminine shape, funky uneven hem, and wild prints. The dress has solid structure that is great for work, and soft material that moves as you move. What a lovely combination!



3. Michael Kors Printed Ruffled Sleeve Top
Ruffled sleeves are making a comeback for women's summer work outfits in 2020. This printed blouse by Michael Kors adds a light-hearted twist to the classic style. Its cap-style ruffled sleeves add volume without looking too intrusive. We also enjoy its subtle brightness that fits both work and play.


4. Dotted Prints
When Miss America 1926, Norma Des Cygne Smallwood, wore a polka-dotted swimsuit in a photograph, polka dots became an instant hit. Since then, many celebrities, including Mini Mouse and Marilyn Monroe, sported this pretty print. Fast forward nearly 100 years, polka dots continue to appear on runways, each year emerging in a new form. This dotted dress is spot-on in both form and artistry. We love how it flows and how comfortable it feels.


5. High Waisted Pants
High-waisted pants accentuate the waistline, elongate legs and, look great with just about anything. They scream elegance while providing comfort, and work for almost any body type. We love these simple High Waisted Pants because they are formal enough for work and casual enough for out-of-the-office occasions. They are also incredibly affordable, so you can afford to pick up an extra pair in a different color.


6. The form-fitting dress
No matter what your shape or size, you can pull off a form-fitting dress. You just have to find the right one for your body type. Yes, it requires an incredible amount of confidence to wear a body-hugging dress. So choose one that is comfortable, flatting, and accentuates your best assets. We like the dress below because its solid color is flattering and its jersey-like material feels smooth and cozy. We also like its tulip-shaped hem, which shows off your legs.


7. The Caped Jumpsuit
Jumpsuits have an edgy style that may not always suit the office environment. However, this tasteful Caped Jumpsuit offers grace and sophistication without slashing off the style and the fun. The cape gives you excellent cover, and at the same time enlarge your presence. It's a clever way to wear the latest trend and look completely professional.


8. BCBGMAXAZRIA Women's Pleated Ruffle Gown
Sway into the summer, and back into the office, with this bright pleated maxi. It adds a burst of brilliance like sunny summer days, and gives you just the energy you need for busy work days.


9. The White Caped Jacket
This caped jacket isn't like any others. It manages to stay put without restricting your arms. Though we are unsure whether it is a cape, blazer or poncho, we know it's sexy, on-trend and in a white hot shade, perfect for the summer.


10. The Boyfriend Blazer
The oversized boyfriend blazer has been trending everywhere, and we see why. It's casual, comfy, and stylish, and slightly slouched to give you a relaxed feel. If you find one this summer, we recommend that you keep it for seasons to come.

Small disciplines repeated with consistency every day lead to great achievements gained slowly over time. - John Maxwell
The 15 Invaluable Laws of Growth: Live Them and Reach Your Potential Review
The 15 Invaluable Laws of Growth: Live Them and Reach Your Potential | By John C. Maxwell
About the Book
Do you feel stuck in life and career? Are you losing motivation? Do you want to find ways to grow? John Maxwell can help. In his book, the 15 Invaluable Laws of Growth, Maxwell provides tried-and-true principles that help people grow. Collected from over fifty years of teaching about personal development, Maxwell's laws of growth communicates the following:
  • "The Law of the Mirror: You Must See Value in Yourself to Add Value to Yourself"
  • "The Law of Awareness: You Must Know Yourself to Grow Yourself"
  • "The Law of Modeling: It's Hard to Improve When You Have No One But Yourself to Follow"
  • "The Law of the Rubber Band: Growth Stops When You Lose the Tension Between Where You are and Where You Could Be"
  • "The Law of Contribution: Developing Yourself Enables You to Develop Others"

  • This is the third book in Maxwell's The "Laws" series (following bestsellers, The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership and The 17 Indisputable Laws of Teamwork). It aims to guide you to become a lifelong learner, reach your maximum potential, and never ever get "stuck".

    What we loved?
    First, we loved Maxwell's style. He explains each law in an easy-to-understand and applicable manner; and, in a direct yet gentle tone, he stresses the importance of lifelong learning. While we all understand that growth doesn't stop with the end of formal education, we all get distracted with life and lose the motivation to learn. This book not only lays out a set of personal growth principals, it also helps us regain motivation. It is a book that you should read once a year to keep your mind challenged, focused and empowered.

    We also enjoyed how the book is backed by clear and solid examples. These examples enable deeper understanding of each concept, and serve as the underlying foundation for the overall blueprint of personal growth.

    Lastly, the book applies to any type of leader. Whether you are leading a for-profit organization, a nonprofit, a local community, or just your family, you can benefit from the book.

    What we thought the book could improve on?
    While we advocate for its practicality and great tips, the books is more of a "blueprint" and may not suit the ultra intellectual types. No matter how solid the book's advice and examples are, critics will question its sources. No matter how empowering the book is to most readers, not everyone will be so easily influenced.

    Parting thoughts.
    For most people, though, the book makes a lasting impact. It's both educational and entertaining, and leaves one motivated, thoughtful and encouraged to learn, explore and achieve greater things. In our opinion, it's a leadership must-read and a resource to draw personal power from. We highly recommend it.
