It can be moderately difficult to plan an outfit that'll work from the time you leave your apartment in the morning, to the end of the day when you're catching a ride to get dinner. The early summer is the perfect time for light layering. Like this fashion blogger, add a lightweight blazer over a simple white blouse, then play with silk in a midi skirt. Add white sneakers (preferably the 'dad trend' kind) and you're set for the entire day.
