The Perfect Summer Dresses for Work by Anne Taylor

Discussing how many things were potentially appropriate and inappropriate for work in that last post got me itching for some new (work appropriate of course) dresses for summer.  Given the heat and humidity of the DC summers, a nice lightweight summer dress is always a great way to beat the heat.

I absolutely love Ann Taylor's dresses and they've got some great options right now that are in versatile styles and are still suitable for work... And for that happy hour after work too!

Check out the dresses I found below.  The prints and stripes are great because they disguise the eventual sweat that comes from walking around in the heat just to find your Metro station doesn't have air conditioning and then crowding into a packed train of similarly hot people soaking up all the AC there too!  Nightmare! But with a printed dress, sweat can get disguised while you attempt to keep your cool and cool off.  Other great styles include the A-line dresses along the bottom and the faux wrap dress which are somewhat body conscious on the top but pull away from the body and allow better air flow while you walk.   Likewise, the ruffled hot pink dress at the bottom is not form fitting and therefore will not feel constricting which is  great in hot weather but also the ruffles and cut still accentuate a woman's figure in a flattering way.  I think I've found 10 dresses I'd like to buy!

Which one is your favorite?  Do you have a go-to store to get great dresses for work?
