the heat

Ok, summer is finally here and I love it! But it's damn hot today. So what can one possibly wear in this heat? I mean, if you are young and don't even know how to spell the word cellulite, there is no problem: just grab some short shorts, a flimsy T and off you go. But if you are in need of at least SOME coverage of your upper thighs (like I do), let alone look somewhat decent and professional for work, you have a problem. Or at least I do. It's like the heat cooks my brain and I have no outfit-inspiration whatsoever left and just grab the most unflattering, yet lightweight, pieces I own.
To prevent this, here is some inspiration for those hot summer days.
for work:

In summary: go for wide legged trousers instead of jeans or pick a nice knee length skirt or shift dress for work. In your free time, go for flowy dresses or skirts of nice, cool fabrics like a silk blend. Or try a harem jumpsuit.
But most of all, no matter what you choose to wear: enjoy the summer! 
Have a wonderful summer weekend everyone!
