Dresses for the surface of the sun

[Anonymous]

Anyone have work dress ideas for this upcoming week or two? Walk commute to metro.

Currently have some linen shirt dresses, a ponte dress, but would welcome more ideas.

You should just assume you'll sweat like a faucet and bring wipes of some sort and a new work outfit for once you get to work, to change into.

This. Every morning, I shower and put on comfy, cotton, crap clothes and sandals for my commute and bring a complete change of clothes for work -- bra, panties, outfit, shoes. I bring a washcloth or two and do a bathroom wipe down plus fresh deodorant. Washcloths go in a ziplock to be laundered later.

Adding - I like to wait to blow dry my hair until I get to the office, or just French braid it wet and let it go from there

Hair in a sleek bun.

Flip flops.

Wear a skirt and tank top, and then your nice blouse and cardigan or jacket are carried to work on a hanger with shoes in a tote. In this weather, I’m never the only one waiting for the train carrying an entire outfit. For after work, I keep shorts and a workout top in my bag.

I have lightweight cotton dresses.

I also wear a large-brimmed straw hat, and am considering investing in a parasol.

I do not care that I look like a Japanese cottage-core cosplayer. I'm part Japanese, so maybe people forgive me anyway

It’s what like 60-70 at 7 am? Unless you have some strange hours and go to work at noon this should not be an issue.

I think ponte will be too thick?

7am?? That's right between "the middle of the night" and "the ass crack of dawn" in my world. I leave the house at 9... most days.

Linen or cotton dress. Wear sandals and change them out at work if you have to. Just pull your hair back wet, or put into a wet braid.

Agree that a full change of clothes is the way to go. I used to walk into the office looking like a camp counselor when I had a walk/ metro/ walk commute.

It's not going to be 70F at 7am for long, Padawan.

Are you too cheap to Uber?

Another reason to miss WFH. I’ve never carried along a whole change of clothes, but generally wear cotton dresses with flip flops and change into flats at work.

Consider it your workout, and wear workout clothes. Freshen up and change at work. Everyone will think you’ve run a 5k
