I just wish that more dresses came with sleeves, any kind of sleeves. It’s annoying trying to find the perfect cardigan or jacket to wear on top. And fully bare arms are a no-no in my workplace. I hate my arms and it seems every summer dress is sleeveless. I need ideas for work dresses…

Do you already have an article on work clothes for suffocating summers? Am already dreading summer in the South. I wrote about office-appropriate sandals here, and casual polished summer clothes here, but I have never addressed how to dress in a professional manner come summer.
