I love flowy, sheer tops. They are perfect for summer because they aren’t super clingy when it’s hot and humid outside so it doesn’t show sweat! Plus, it’s thin enough to layer under a blazer and wear to work or just wear alone with some jeans for a more casual look. I’ve worn this top from Target about a million times, so it’s definitely paid for itself in terms of cost per wear!
Wedges: Payless (similar, super comfy version)
Cropped pants: Gap Outlet (similar)
Sheer top: Target (similar, similar I wore from Kohl’s here)
Tank: Gap Outlet (similar)
Case in point– wore again recently for a series of radio interviews with Roberto Garza of the Chicago Bears! #perksofthejob
Do you have a favorite summer style piece? What do you wear to combat heat and humidity?

Love that cute top, you look adorable!
Thanks Tara!
LOL! Your poor coworker got blue boxed! Tee hee!
I like this sort of top for summer layering too. What are your tips for finding the right “flow” level so it doesn’t make me look bigger than I am?
Haha I know- for privacy reasons of course :-) Yeah I think the trick is finding ones that are form fitting so you don’t look frumpy. For example, the top of this one I’m wearing is very fitted at the chest so it helps give you a bit of a shape as it flows down!
Sheer tops are great for summer. Love this one on you, so pretty!

Thanks Yi-chia! They are my go-to for work since I can’t wear a tank top!
Love this outfit Valerie. I think my favorite go-to item for summer is my cobalt blue blazer and my maxi dress. Thanks for linking up.

Oh a maxi dress is perfect for summer- nice and flowy versus clingy pants! (I am still on the hunt for the perfect maxi myself!)
I love prints because you can look so cute without having to layer. Cool you met this football player too!
Ginny
Exactly!! Yeah I’ll be working with him a lot this summer so it’s pretty exciting!
What an adorable top!
Thanks Rachel! It’s one of my faves for sure!
No tank tops at work??? I would die. Of course, if we had that restriction I’d probably own a lot more sheer, flowy tops :-)
Yeah I mean I guess it isn’t strictly forbidden, but many don’t wear tanks unfortunately. Some will wear a sleeveless dress or take off their blazer and have a tank top underneath when it gets hot in the office, but not that often!
Great summer style.
That top is great for the summer! Thanks for linking up with us :)

It is a super cute top and fits you great! I love the sleek look of the dark slim pants with the wedges :)
Thanks Fran! Yeah I think something form fitting on the bottom works well with a flowy top!
Super cute, Valerie! I really like the print on that top – and sheer tops like this really are perfect for the summer heat and humidity! Those crops are really cute, too. I’m on the hunt for a similar pair :)
Thanks Brynn! Gap’s crops seem to work really well for me– and they are having a great July 4th sale too!
Those shoes with those pants are so cute! I find myself wearing only dresses when its super hot, but a flowy top is such a good idea :)
Thanks Bri! Yeah I’m a dress/skirt gal most hot days, but on other days when I haven’t, ahem, shaved my legs, these crop pants are always a good fall back!
