Beat the Heat


In the long, hot days of summer, sometimes you just have to give up on all that fashion stuff. The layering, the scarves, the jackets...you just can't wear those when it is ninety-five degrees outside! And yes, you've already seen me in a few sundresses this summer...but here is another one!


You really can't go wrong in a pretty, colorful sundress and barely there sandals when it's ultra hot. You want clothes that allow whatever slim breeze there is to get to your skin. You want clothes that don't protect you from goose pimples when walking into an air conditioned building. You want clothes that look even better when you are holding an ice cream cone. Right? I think a sundress does all of those things, and manages to look a little more flirty than shorts and a tee. What do you wear when it's steamy outside?

  3. Sundresses are clutch in the summer. Nothing feels better than bare shoulders and a loose skirt when it's hot.

    You look great!

  4. I am living in sundresses right now. What else can you wear in this heat? Well, yesterday was sufficiently cool for some jean shorts, but seriously, all dresses all the time. Where did you take these photos? The backdrop is stunning!!
