LIGHTWEIGHT SKIRT FOR THE HEAT

LIGHTWEIGHT SKIRT FOR THE HEAT

Good Morning! Well, summer has hit Dallas in a big way! It was so hot this past Sunday; looking at the forecast, it’s getting ready to get miserable here! What do you wear when it is 100 degrees outside? I am adding lightweight skirts for running around in for this summer. I bought this pinstripe maxi skirt with knife pleats a few weeks back from Club Monaco and couldn’t love it more. It is super lightweight and mainly made of lyocell (pulp fiber). I chose to wear it with a linen embroidered sleeve blouse (now almost sold out), but I think a white or navy tee will look great with it as well. I am carrying this straw bag from Caterina Bertini that I bought four or five years ago from Shopbop, and I still love it. They sell out as soon as they get them, but I found it here. I would grab it if you need a cute summer straw bag!

I like wearing maxi skirts or dresses in the summer. At my age now, I don’t wear shorts anymore unless I am at the beach, lake, or go for a bike ride. It’s not because I don’t think I can; it’s just because I don’t love the way my skin is starting to look. I started noticing a bit of crepiness, and I prefer not to see it! Haha! Anyway, that is why I love to wear skirts and lightweight ones during the summer, plus, the air gets everywhere if you catch my drift!

Here are a few tips if you wonder what kind of skirt suits your body type.

  • If you have an APPLE shape, you may want to try a high-waisted skirt that flares out at the bottom. This will help create the illusion of curves and balance your figure.
  • Try a high-waisted pencil or wrap skirt if you have a PEAR-shaped body. This will help to elongate your legs and create the illusion of a slimmer waist.
  • If you have an HOURGLASS shape, the same styles that the PEAR-shaped girls are the ones for you.
  • BOY OR RECTANGLE-shaped body types can wear a panel detail, full circle print, and long flare skirt to create some curves.
  • INVERTED TRIANGLE shapes can try a skirt with an A-line. This can help balance out your figure and create the illusion of wider hips.

 

 

 

I am shooting for the blog this morning and meeting with the Chic girls to shoot with them too. Fingers crossed that it doesn’t rain on us. I also have a phone consultation with a holistic-type doctor to discuss my skin issues. I hope he feels that he can take me on. I’ve talked a lot about what’s going on with my skin, and I apologize for doing so. It is pretty consuming for me. I’ve tried eliminating products and adding the ones that are safe, but I am still dealing with the same thing. Buggers!!!

Have a great day! Stay well and Be safe! xx
