If you follow us on Instagram, you’ve probably already seen a little peek of this outfit. It seems a little silly to wear sweaters in the summer, but the office where I work as a graduate research assistant loves to keep the temperature approximately arctic so sweaters are necessary. I won’t lie, I kind of like it. The only downside is you have to walk outside in the heat to get inside to the chill, but those few minutes are worth it.
I had trouble deciding if I wanted to wear the belt or not. Ultimately, I went with it but I started out without it. You can see in the photos below that it’s missing. What do you think, belt or no belt?
Here’s the fun one: This was just a test picture so I could get the lightening right (or, at least, as close as possible) and just as the camera snapped, my neighbor jogged by and made me laugh. It’s a cute photo so you get to enjoy it, too.

Yep, I really like the addition of the belt – it makes the outfit look fun! I love the orange + navy color combination in this outfit as well. It’s so true about the AC during the summers as well – I always freeeeze inside during the summer, so I get plenty of wear out of my cardigans, denim jacket, and blazers all year round 🙂
I came around to loving the belt, too. I’m glad I kept it!
Such a cute photo, glad you shared! That polka dot skirt is so pretty. I personally love the belt, it adds the finishing touch to your fun office outfit =)

I’ve only worn the skirt a few times. I don’t know why but I think that’s going to have to change because I like it so much.
That’s not a shade of brown I often see? I like the ruffles in the cardi and how you’ve styled it with a skinny belt.
I think of it as bronze or rust, but I think that’s what I like most about it – very unique!
Oh my goodness, how I Love this look! The polka dot pencil skirt is just too cute and I love this ruffled cardigan with it. The color combination is lovely.
Ok you are too cute in that last photo 🙂 And girlll I am so with you on sweaters in the summer–our office is always like negative degrees! Love this color combo on you, and it is belted to perfection!
