Wear it to: the office

Wondering how to make your work-wear staples feel new this summer? Step up basic pants and skirts with a voluminous blouse. Bell sleeves are super hot, and this style of blouse is a prettier, lighter alternative to your standard long-sleeve button-down. Pairing two bright shades in the same color family (e.g., pink and red) keeps the look seasonally appropriate, too.

Take a cue from the look shown here and balance puffy sleeves with a slim-fitting piece on the bottom. This will keep your summer outfit's proportions from appearing Gaga-esque.
