These 2 very simple dresses that I grabbed at H&M, both under 20 euros, classic shapes, made of cotton :
- Sleeveless shirtdress, back is longer than front, tailored enough to be office-friendly.
- Loose fit white cotton dress with a crisscross of dark grey stripes
H&M dresses
- APC "Amy" and Birkenstock "Madrid" sandals with adjustable straps, perfect to accommodate swelling feet!
- Straw hat to protect my hair/head from the (drying) hot sun,
- paper fan to get a bit of ventilation as air-conditioning is sadly not widespread in the city...

Love the white dress, especially. We were experiencing the same thing here in the usually mild Pacific Northwest. Can be very draining. Keep cool!
RépondreSupprimerThanks Rachel! You're right, that kind of heat is exhausting. I think both dresses will get a lot of wear as high temperatures are expected again this week...
SupprimerHa that hat gets a lot of attention every time I wear it! So funny! We're the most surprised believe me by that weather, so not what we're used to, I'd prefer the Florida temperatures much more breathable.
RépondreSupprimerYou look great. Thanks for this post - I'm always interested in how to keep cool and look chic.
RépondreSupprimerThanks Holly! I hadn't realised it truly because we rarely have such long stretches of time with high temperatures even in summer but keeping fashion from being repetitive/boring is as "difficult" as in winter. Granted with less layers to pull on, it's quicker to dress once you figured out what to wear...
RépondreSupprimerVery challenging indeed. One of my biggest problems is finding garments made of natural fibers.
