This Summer, Avoid Wearing This To Work...

As the weather continues to heat up, it is very easy to get caught up in a more relaxed and casual lifestyle. For most of us though, there is still a work dress code we need to follow to continue to project a professional image. There are some key items to avoid during work hours...

Sunglasses-- Once you walk in the building, sunglasses need to be removed and put away. They should not be worn indoors around the office nor should they be placed on the top of your head to be forgotten about for the day.

Tank Tops-- These sleeveless tops reveal way too much skin for the office. Some workplaces will allow sleeveless but do not push the boundaries with the thinner strap alternatives. Save these summery tops for the weekends.

Screen T-shirts-- Nice t-shirts can be great for work especially during the summer when you want a cool cotton against your skin but when you throw writing on it, regardless of what it says, it becomes inappropriate for work. Stick with prints or solids and leave the screen t's for home.

Strappy Sandals-- I hope most of you do not dare wear flip flops to work but there is a fine line on what sandals are good for work and which ones are not. Make sure the sandal has a back. You should never wear shoes that flop on your foot. Also avoid really strappy, barely-there kind of sandals and opt for something that covers more.
