I buy dresses to use as nightgowns - because real nightgowns look so awful : for some mysterious reason they're adorned with cats. Or bears. Or boats. Ditsy flowers. Tiny stars. Mostly in baby pink, baby blue or peach.</p> <p>@ Firecracker : I couldn't be polished if my life depended on it. Well, I could, as far as clothes are concerned, but hair? Make up? Posture? I'll fail.</p> <p>@ Angie : oh! A "killer all round", what a trophy Thank you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hit-by-heat-wave#post-1822532 Mon, 10 Jul 2017 17:18:56 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1822532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your post made laugh. Your all-linen and moo-moo dressing is fab. I like your breezy dresses--both the dark gray and the print one. In these outfits, you personify the stylish RATE look--effortless and cool. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hit-by-heat-wave#post-1822489 Mon, 10 Jul 2017 14:29:11 +0000 Sara L. 1822489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are great outfits for a heat wave. &nbsp;I love the dress and scarf in #3 but the dress looks good on its own too. &nbsp;The nightgown looks like a dress to me and I would have never guessed it was sleepwear. &nbsp;I like the bright fun pattern. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hit-by-heat-wave#post-1822467 Mon, 10 Jul 2017 14:08:13 +0000 Angie 1822467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE IT ALL. Killer all round.&nbsp;</p> <p>You are adorable in those moo-moo sack frocks, Isabelle. Nice pattern mixing in #3 too. You're fab in orange. Complements all the blue.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hit-by-heat-wave#post-1822423 Mon, 10 Jul 2017 12:04:32 +0000 skylurker 1822423@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@ bridgie : choking, yes that's the feeling.</p> <p>@ joy : nope, not the same orange shades, but a nightgowny dress will be great for next week vacation, anyway, no need to smarten it up for now.</p> <p>@ dianna : 52°C, oh my, can't even imagine what that feels like.<br /> With glasses, I worry about necklaces looking like eyeglasses chains. I need to experiment.</p> <p>@ Sal : not found a pleasing way to style these culottes yet. They're as hellish to style as skirts I'd like to try a belted tunic next. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hit-by-heat-wave#post-1822365 Mon, 10 Jul 2017 05:55:31 +0000 Kate 1822365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love that gray dress. That and #1 are my favorites. I really like your breezy summer looks. Would that mine looked so good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hit-by-heat-wave#post-1822363 Mon, 10 Jul 2017 05:51:16 +0000 Anonymous 1822363@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Will the scarf that you wore with the grey dress work in a wild pattern mixing way with the pink dress?&nbsp; I think it would de-casualize the dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hit-by-heat-wave#post-1822346 Mon, 10 Jul 2017 03:42:31 +0000 bridgie 1822346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the grey dress, also the pink.&nbsp; I think it looks better as a dress than a nightgown. I like Paula's tip on knotting the scarf. I am going to try it.&nbsp; I simply do not wear scarves in the summer because I feel like I am choking. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hit-by-heat-wave#post-1822335 Mon, 10 Jul 2017 03:16:02 +0000 Dianna 1822335@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love and more love to all your outfits. Unstructured dresses in light and breezy fabrics are my summer uniform. I wish I could look half as stylish as you do wearing them. You are a master of french chic no matter what you wear. Try the statement necklace with both white tops and dresses. Those are my go-to summer accesory since it can get really hot here to wear scarves or a topper (we reach 52 celsius in the summer) and wear a statement necklace instead I have quite a few of them and they are fun to wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hit-by-heat-wave#post-1822330 Mon, 10 Jul 2017 03:11:39 +0000 Jaime 1822330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the dress in 3/4/5. That is exactly what I like to wear in the heat. I would wear the "nightgown" too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hit-by-heat-wave#post-1822310 Mon, 10 Jul 2017 01:40:51 +0000 Paula 1822310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love gray/chambray dress, both with and without the scarf! &nbsp;One way I wear a scarf in the heat is by knotting both ends and then letting it drape down the front of the garment....Keeps my neck from getting so hot!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hit-by-heat-wave#post-1822229 Sun, 09 Jul 2017 19:59:18 +0000 Sal 1822229@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have some lovely hot weather looks. I love the two dresses and the white top and trousers in 1. I am not sure about the navy tee and skirt. I would prefer the skirt (or is it culottes) with a top without a collar I think or with a more shaped top. </p> <p>The grey dress is a great summer piece that you carry off very well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hit-by-heat-wave#post-1822210 Sun, 09 Jul 2017 19:10:16 +0000 skylurker 1822210@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all for your opinions.</p> <p>@ The Cat : I don't mind at all, on the contrary, suggestions and critics are welcome. I have to try that cuff idea. Would break the length of my arms. I also think some crazy, statement, necklaces would look great with my white shirts. I just never think of shopping for these things.</p> <p>@ Cindysmith : as Summer said in her comment "linen and loose fits are the way to go"</p> <p>@ Staysfit : oh, I'm far faar from Lille ;)<br /> Haven't mastered Fahrenheits, I have no clue what the numbers mean when I come across them in Fabbers posts.</p> <p>@ kerry : no a/c, I don't stay cool, I'm too warm and can't wait for the day to end so I can take a cold shower.</p> <p>@ Suz : we need itsy bitsy teenie weenie v-necks. Yes, bought the last dress, a cotton jersey, heavily discounted - normal, I thought, who would wear such crazy psychadelic pattern in our streets? - for loungewear :)</p> <p>@ Joy : the pink dress I wore on Saturday, not sure I'll have the guts to wear to work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hit-by-heat-wave#post-1822208 Sun, 09 Jul 2017 19:06:17 +0000 kellygirl 1822208@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! Killer looks all around. I love the simplicity and the clean lines. So modern. The chambray dress is my fave. So artfully elegant.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hit-by-heat-wave#post-1822166 Sun, 09 Jul 2017 17:15:22 +0000 Anonymous 1822166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is fun to see your new blouse in action. Love. My favorites are 1-5. My eye needs to adjust to the pink color on you, but it looks like a great summer dress. I get no nightgown vibes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hit-by-heat-wave#post-1822163 Sun, 09 Jul 2017 17:10:11 +0000 Ledonna N. 1822163@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Simply Stunning! I love every single thing the white topic number one the dresses your shoes just everything my favorite has to be I think is a denim or chambray dress. I don't know I like that material I'm screaming pockets! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hit-by-heat-wave#post-1822161 Sun, 09 Jul 2017 17:07:33 +0000 Anonymous 1822161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The grey linen dress looks great with that scarf. I like the colour combination. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hit-by-heat-wave#post-1822130 Sun, 09 Jul 2017 15:07:32 +0000 JAileen 1822130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You really look fab! I love the grey dress. It looks nice with the scarf, but really doesn't need it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hit-by-heat-wave#post-1822123 Sun, 09 Jul 2017 14:34:32 +0000 Anonymous 1822123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love, love love your breezy linen pieces! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hit-by-heat-wave#post-1822084 Sun, 09 Jul 2017 12:45:02 +0000 Suz 1822084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous dresses on you! I can't believe you bought the last as a nightgown! Definitely wear it first as a dress before "demoting." :)&nbsp;</p> <p>The grey dress is spectacular on you. Love it both ways, with scarf and without. That neckline is perfect. It reminds me of my blue and white gingham blouse neckline. Structured enough yet a bit more open than we are used to. It suits you really well.&nbsp;</p> <p>I love the first outfit, too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hit-by-heat-wave#post-1822081 Sun, 09 Jul 2017 12:32:20 +0000 cindysmith 1822081@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great, and you've given me some ideas on how to cope with the heat here in Texas. It's gotten brutal here, so thanks for the inspiration! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hit-by-heat-wave#post-1822076 Sun, 09 Jul 2017 12:27:34 +0000 Scarlet 1822076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE THAT GREY DRESS!!! WITH THE SHOES. SO PERFECT!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hit-by-heat-wave#post-1822074 Sun, 09 Jul 2017 12:25:21 +0000 kerry 1822074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These all look easy, breezy - perfect for these temps. Sure they have less structure but you still look "dressed" - a difficult feat when temps rise. Do you have air conditioning where you are? I'm curious how you stay cool in closed shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hit-by-heat-wave#post-1822068 Sun, 09 Jul 2017 11:44:39 +0000 Staysfit 1822068@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You always look fab! I love the scarf with the dress in pic 3, but I also end up taking them off when the temperature gets to ~ 88-90F. (Why we still use Fahrenheit is beyond me!). The pink dress is wonderful. I want to fly across the ocean and borrow it! I will be in Lille next year some time, maybe I will come raid your closet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hit-by-heat-wave#post-1822050 Sun, 09 Jul 2017 10:42:57 +0000 The Cat 1822050@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope you don't mind if I suggest a cuff bracelet with your summer outfits. I know you are not keen on wearing accessories, but in my opinion, cuff bracelets were MADE for long, slim arms like yours. I am sure they would look gorgeous on you and be a fab finishing touch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hit-by-heat-wave#post-1822049 Sun, 09 Jul 2017 10:34:23 +0000 bella 1822049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking cool and breezy! Once again, that cowlneck top is the most gorgeous thing ever! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hit-by-heat-wave#post-1822035 Sun, 09 Jul 2017 09:04:19 +0000 lozz_oz 1822035@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great easy styles - in particular the charcoal grey linen dress.

Think it might be spelt muu muu ( Hawaiian or something) otherwise I might get mixed up with your cowhide loafers post x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hit-by-heat-wave#post-1822031 Sun, 09 Jul 2017 08:53:44 +0000 Summer 1822031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely cool, breezy outfits for the hot weather, Skylurker.&nbsp; Linen and loose fits are the way to go.&nbsp; Looking good! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hit-by-heat-wave#post-1822027 Sun, 09 Jul 2017 08:44:34 +0000 The Cat 1822027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You manage to look very fab and cool in the heat wave!</p> <p>The patterned scarf looks gorgeous against the dark dress, but I can easily understand that it became too hot. If I wear scarves at all in hot weather, I will usually tie them in a low, soft knot, so that my neck is open. </p>
