I only discovered print dresses last year and they make such a difference on the hottest days. Deborah, yes, I do have AC at work, but if a top is light silk with the sleeves rolled up, I wonder if it could work without it? I'll be trying it this year. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-when-its-hot-idea-for-wendi1984-plus-belt-loop-tip#post-937803 Tue, 21 May 2013 05:34:23 +0000 Lantana 937803@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, very chic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-when-its-hot-idea-for-wendi1984-plus-belt-loop-tip#post-937802 Tue, 21 May 2013 05:32:41 +0000 Deborah 937802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ This is a stunning outfit but I have to ask do you work in a/c. &nbsp;On a 34 degree day here I could not wear long sleeves. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-when-its-hot-idea-for-wendi1984-plus-belt-loop-tip#post-937797 Tue, 21 May 2013 05:25:05 +0000 Wendi1984 937797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love it! All the little details definitely work together well. I have been browsing for some new belts; I have a leopard one that I love, but I can't wear leopard every day. I'm also looking at shoes. I had been looking at some simple black ballet flats, but for spring/summer I definitely think I need some interesting color/texture.<br />I'm also looking for some cute colorful summery dresses. I'd been looking for a LBD, but I think for spring/summer, I'd be better off with some color and pattern, so it won't need much accessorizing. I'll get a black dress later in the summer, so it can take me through the cooler weather, too.<br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-when-its-hot-idea-for-wendi1984-plus-belt-loop-tip#post-937777 Tue, 21 May 2013 04:41:05 +0000 Anonymous 937777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yes, I did, thank you Adelfa!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-when-its-hot-idea-for-wendi1984-plus-belt-loop-tip#post-937691 Tue, 21 May 2013 01:58:28 +0000 Anonymous 937691@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've got to look up Wendy's post too as new ideas for hot weather style are golden. Your look and suggestions are fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-when-its-hot-idea-for-wendi1984-plus-belt-loop-tip#post-937484 Mon, 20 May 2013 21:53:17 +0000 Adelfa 937484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Clare, do look up that post as you were mentioned in it! Plus Inge did an amazing roundup of hot weather tops. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-when-its-hot-idea-for-wendi1984-plus-belt-loop-tip#post-937464 Mon, 20 May 2013 21:27:47 +0000 Thistle 937464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love this look on you. Polished, modern and put together! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-when-its-hot-idea-for-wendi1984-plus-belt-loop-tip#post-937461 Mon, 20 May 2013 21:25:50 +0000 Anonymous 937461@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ This is brilliant Adelfa, and you look so good! I love the high contrast achieved by the tipping on your blouse and a color-blocked shoe is another great idea for adding interest. I missed Wendi's post, but I'll go find it because I need all the ideas I can get for making two-piece dressing more interesting.&nbsp;<br /><br />I feel like a print does a lot of the work if it's too hot to wear jewelry or a belt. Even if I carry a topper with me, in actuality I have it off much of the time (especially if I'm just at home) so a printed top makes it look like there's "more going on" than there really is, lol.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-when-its-hot-idea-for-wendi1984-plus-belt-loop-tip#post-937455 Mon, 20 May 2013 21:21:40 +0000 Suz 937455@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ What a fantastic professional looking outfit -- crisp, classic, and a little bit fun, as well. And what great tips! I am taking notes. This is something I really struggle to master.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-when-its-hot-idea-for-wendi1984-plus-belt-loop-tip#post-937430 Mon, 20 May 2013 20:44:46 +0000 Adelfa 937430@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love the pattern mixing idea, Inge, as well as all the architecturally interesting tips in your link list. I guess the idea is that when you can't add complexity by layering, you add it in the individual pieces (the few you put on). https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-when-its-hot-idea-for-wendi1984-plus-belt-loop-tip#post-937418 Mon, 20 May 2013 20:18:41 +0000 Inge 937418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh, I love all your extra tips, Adelfa. And I totally agree, even smaller unique details like the tipping on your gorgeous blouse and the fab two-toned shoes can make a big difference.<br /><br />After replying to Wendi's post, I was also thinking that a bit of pattern mixing could be great too. E.g. either a patterned top with patterned/printed footwear, or patterned bottoms with printed or two-toned footwear. Of course, you could always add in a third print or pattern with your bag too. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-when-its-hot-idea-for-wendi1984-plus-belt-loop-tip#post-937415 Mon, 20 May 2013 20:17:11 +0000 harmonica 937415@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ love this outfit! polished and interesting. and thanks for the tips I love both solids and pattern, but have been leaning towards simpler and more graphic patterns the last seasons https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-when-its-hot-idea-for-wendi1984-plus-belt-loop-tip#post-937404 Mon, 20 May 2013 20:10:06 +0000 Adelfa 937404@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Today it will be 93 (34C). Not as hot as it gets here by a long chalk, but still warm. When I can't wear that third piece, I am learning to add interest to outfits by means of extra details on the pieces I do wear, such as the tipping on my blouse and a two-toned shoe (Angie pick last year, it's a slingback). Solids come much more naturally to me but I'm learning that judicious pattern use can be very effective! Do you like patterns or solids? Belts also become more important to a pulled-together appearance. Does this one work? I got it for the gold toned buckle and beading, but the belt is a huge shot of silver in what's meant to be a gold-accented outfit! Finally a tip: when you want to anchor a skinny belt onto a skirt, use a safety pin for a belt loop! Pinned from the inside of course. I learned this from the Clothed Much blog. Thanks for reading and looking!<br /><br />Here's Wendi's post:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-layers-and-accessories-in-a-very-hot-climate">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....ot-climate</a>
