I can’t believe we’re already half way through summer. As each summer day passes the temperatures get hotter and hotter here in South Carolina. Charleston has been breaking record temperatures pretty much every day for the past couple of weeks. With the amount of humidity, stepping outside is like stepping into a sauna or aquarium. For me, bad hair days have become just my every day hair and I find myself planning what I am going to wear on functionality rather than my most stylish looks. There comes a point where Mother Nature just wins. Finding an outfit to wear (that’s not a bathing suit) in this summer heat can be a challenge.
This Fashionista nailed her “it’s too hot to move” look. She kept her ensemble simple, yet stylish. Her white tank top is perfect for a day in Charleston’s natural sauna. Lately, I have been obsessed with plain white tees. No, not the “Hey There Delilah” kind, but the easy and comfortable garment kind. White T-shirts and tank tops go with pretty much everything and should be a staple in every Fashionista and Fashionistos summer closet.
She completes her ensemble with denim shorts, a cardigan, a beautiful choker and a pair of white Birkenstock sandals. You may be wondering why she has a cardigan if it is so hot. The stores and restaurants have cranked up the A.C. so much that it is like going from the equator to the Antarctic in a matter of seconds. I’m sweating when I’m walking to eat and then by the time I get my food I feel like its winter. Where is the happy medium? A cardigan tied around your waist is the perfect solution.
This Fashionista proves that a simple outfit can still be chic. Sometimes what you wear is dictated by Mother Nature, but it can still look great!
What is your STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: “With temperatures reaching triple digits, it’s important to dress for the weather. Keep your ensemble simple to beat the heat.”
