Tip: Add a blazer.  If it's 35 degrees outside, chances are your office air conditioning will be working overdrive.  Keeping a blazer on your desk chair is a great way to combat the chill.  Opting for neutral tones will mean you can throw it over nearly anything.

Tip: Work the white shirt.  They never fails. They're a perfect way to stay cool and can be worn over and over with different outfits so they're #CostPerWear friendly.
