Summer Wardrobe: How to Cover Up and Stay Cool

shirt: old navy, skirt: jcrew, bracelets: jcrew, banana republic (old), necklaces: anthropologie

As days stretch long across the center of calendars, follow suit with equally long lengths in your summer apparel.  

Adjust all-season wardrobe winners like a long-sleeve cotton oxford via a casual edit, as coy and convenient as a well earned nickname.  This truncated treasure will ice your edge.  

Simultaneously lower your leg-line and feel the temperature drop with the breeze of open circulation. Opt for a full cut, allowing fabric to billow about rather than cling around your figure,  ensuring that moisture can wick sans clothing stick. 

This entire ensemble has survived 107 degree and peak park hours with two toddlers at Disneyland.  It has my officious summer seal of approval.

fuller skirts and dresses also allow for functional pockets, plenty of volume for a purse worth of supplies

America’s Worst Dressed

Jeans revealing more glittering sequins than denim, exposed swimsuits thousands of feet from any body of water larger than a toilet, bolo ties amidst tuxedos, rubber sandals amidst silk hemlines, and shorts offering less coverage than diapers.

These are unofficial Arizona uniforms.  Of locales falling behind the fashion index, I happen to live in #9. (indigenous to #2).

With the full fire of summer threatening unfashionable lows in my geography, some have said it’s too hot to be haute in Arizona.  I accept the challenge and vow to publicly educate my fellow citizens, via a series of upcoming posts, in the art of dressing fresh in 100 degree plus weather.
