Office dress codes - I often despise them due to their restrictions and their outdated views on fashion. Sure, I understand that they help promote a professional-looking environment and keep safety issues in mind. But sometimes on a hot summer day a girl wants to wear high-heeled sandals, especially if she's sitting at a desk all day! And despite what some dress codes may dictate, shorts, like the ones pictured below, can be professional/appropriate for the right age group (perhaps a woman under 35 or with great legs) without being too revealing. With this anti-dress code sentiment in mind, I've created the perfect summer outfit for a southern California casual Friday.
