Sure, when I first get in to the office on a hot summer day, the cool corporate air is a welcome relief. But by the time I've settled in to my desk and begun my day, which usually entails very low levels of physical activity, I am on my way to freezetown. Hello goosebumps.
If you are a hotblooded chick that reaches a sheen easily, then read no further. I envy you (particularly in the dead of winter).
But, if you are like me (and you could conceivably find a chill in the desert), here are ways to manage around the cold office during hot summer days:
Blazer: May be obvious but a good blazer can make a trash bag dress from Project Runway look structured. Keep a black or white cotton one at the office for warmth, and that client meeting you didn't know you would have. Then leave it behind before heading to dinner or drinks for the evening.
Loving this linen blazer from Loft. The modern cut with no lapel means it should work with everything and the pushed up sleeves is a nice effect.
Structured Cardigan: somewhere in between a basic cardigan and a blazer... The most versatile thing you can own (ok, one of).
Zara has a number of these to choose from and all are reasonably priced. This one is cozy and neutral enough to match with almost anything.
Scarf: Well, not the one your grandma knitted. Think a thin cashmere or cotton/silk mix.
Like this one from ASOS.
Big props to Foreigner circa 1977.
