Beat the Heat While Staying Fashionable
I don’t know about you, but when it’s really hot, like it has been the last few days, my image starts to suffer. Instead of thinking and planning my outfits, I’m just trying to stay cool. Here are a few great tips for staying cool and fashionable when the temperature rises.
1) Wear light colors and fabrics. Simple and effective.
2) Wear lose skirts. Floaty skirts look so feminine and fashionable while being cool and comfortable. Buy two or three tops to go with each skirt and you’re set.
3) Keep jewelry to a minimum. When it’s hot, our jewelry has a tendency to stick to us. Throw on a pair of earrings and call it a day. Necklaces, bracelets, and rings can irritate the skin when it’s hot.
4) Forgo the blow dryer and twist your hair into a fun up-do. No one wants to sweat even more blow drying their hair. Flip through the current magazines to see what’s in, or just opt for a traditional pony tail. You can always wrap a piece of your hair around the elastic for an updated look. You’ll be cool, you won’t have to blow dry your hair, and you’ll be fashionable.
5) Wear flat sandals. When it’s hot, our feet tend to swell. Instead of killing your feet in those great heels, invest in a couple pairs of cute, flat sandals…not flip flops. Your outfit will look polished and your feet will be pain free.
