How Every Melbourne Girl Dresses for Work in Summer

Last month, we showed you the pieces every Sydney girl wears to stay cool in summer—so we thought it only right to showcase the items that fill up our Melbourne sisters’ wardrobes. As we mainly work from our offices in Sydney, we tracked down Melbourne-based fashion forecaster for Sportsgirl, Jessica Burrow, for her insights.
