The formulas that work when the heat rises but we've got shit to do
The May Issue
The first heatwave of summer always catches me off guard. Friday night I had a night out planned and nothing to wear. Except I did, I just couldn’t rely on my usual tools to make me feel good. No throwing on a leather jacket to add edge to a feminine dress. My baggy jeans, heels and simple black knit were out of the question, as were some of my favourite dresses due to the long sleeves or heavy fabrics. It took a minute, a few discarded outfits, and then I landed on silk tasselled pants and a simple tee. I never want to look too ‘done’ so this was the perfect resolution. Party pants, sandals, a tee and a diamond necklace. I felt like myself and was dressed appropriately for the heat without having to expose too much skin.
