While I normally never wear tank tops, I do make gracious exceptions during the sweat-inducing summer months. With this solid 90 degree weather we've been having, I don't want to wear anything at all!  But because tank tops are so thin and lightweight, they keep me cool. And because they are so thin and lightweight, I can't help but feel a little naked. They're something that I would wear underneath a see-through top or at home as part of my pjs.

 Good morning, everyone. These summer days have blasted all the creativity out of me, so I thought I'd do a slight remix of this outfit. It just so happens to be my very second outfit post as well. What a difference a year makes. The only thing I've swapped out are the sandals. Otherwise, the outfit is essentially the same. I simply cannot live without linen and light woven cotton these days. And don't forget those stripes to spice things up. On another note, I didn't realize I'd changed so much until I looked at the photos side by side. I sort of miss my short hair. If I recall correctly, I'd gotten one cut and two trims the entire year since. Not bad, I say!

Oh, lovely day. Beads of sweat collected and quivered at the bridge of my nose. More threatened to roll down the sides of my temples. My hair clung to the back of my neck in the most awful, desperate way. I swore I would not let it defeat me and vowed to be free of this heat. I fled the confines of my home in pursuit of happiness, donned in this light cotton blend dress. It is quite flattering the way it cinches at the waistline. I love the way it blows in the wind, but I have to be careful or everyone will see my undies. And trust me, they're not cute at all.

 I dearly wanted to put my hair up in milkmaid braids but sadly, short hair has its limits. So, I improvised with this braided updo instead. I find these days that I'm more willing to style my hair, which is normally rather unkempt. There was a time in my life when I couldn't be bothered to put a comb through it. It would get tangled again the second I was done. Mind you, I'm still lazy when it comes to these kinds of things. It's an improvement, I suppose.
