People do glam it up there, but what she needs work wise may depend on what she wants to project for her job and what the other people she will work with are wearing. January's definitely going to be a good time to start getting used to the Arabian Gulf climate. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-transition-a-midwestern-wardrobe-to-dubai#post-1593880 Wed, 16 Dec 2015 16:02:35 +0000 Angie 1593880@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A/C is relentless in Dubai. Your friend will need toppers.&nbsp;</p> <p>I saw VERY fashionable people in Dubai. You see it all on the street actually. I vote let your friend take her favourite climate appropriate stuff and feel her way when she gets there. It's shopping Mecca.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-transition-a-midwestern-wardrobe-to-dubai#post-1593878 Wed, 16 Dec 2015 15:59:05 +0000 Suz 1593878@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my goodness, I was trying to imagine you in Dubai...</p> <p>Okay. Now that I have recovered I shall read your question...not that I have answers. Talk about a different climate from my own! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-transition-a-midwestern-wardrobe-to-dubai#post-1593782 Wed, 16 Dec 2015 06:06:45 +0000 Vix 1593782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Carter --</p> <p>Isn't the A/C frigid there? She may need her down after all!</p> <p>Joy raises good points that mirror my experience with just short-term trips to SoCal in winter.&nbsp;</p> <p>I think this is one of those plan as much as possible but be prepared to change. To slightly answer your question, I'd shift color palette and fabric weight if I wanted a seasonal change. Sounds like a great opportunity for your friend; hope she enjoys the new experiences. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-transition-a-midwestern-wardrobe-to-dubai#post-1593761 Wed, 16 Dec 2015 03:47:16 +0000 Anonymous 1593761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>After moving from the Midwest to Southern California where climate was season-less compared to what I was used to, I adjusted and ended up loving that I could have a smaller wardrobe not having to buy for different seasons. Clothes actually wore out before they were out of style. She will find that the annual rhythm is still there, just different.. Her body will adjust to the temperatures in what may be surprising ways. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-transition-a-midwestern-wardrobe-to-dubai#post-1593755 Wed, 16 Dec 2015 03:27:10 +0000 carter 1593755@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>. </p>
