And yes, I see the weather has cooled off. I hope it stays that way. I really was worried it'd be 30C and sticky my whole time there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-dressing---help#post-1674809 Tue, 07 Jun 2016 14:36:13 +0000 Robin 1674809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone!</p> <p>Angie, I'll check out those options for sure. Good thinking on the curvy shorts being more comfortable right now.</p> <p>Rachylou and Adela: Do you have favourite brands for cotton skirts? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-dressing---help#post-1674797 Tue, 07 Jun 2016 14:21:34 +0000 Suz 1674797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What part of Southern Ontario? Toronto? Niagara? London? What will your activities involve?&nbsp;</p> <p>Our temperatures have not been as hot as they sometimes get as yet...but you never know when a heat wave might hit. We did have one last weekend but it cooled down considerably.&nbsp;</p> <p>I would recommend skirts and dresses for sure. But a pair of pants and a pair of shorts would be really great additions. Even jeans (if you wear them) for cooler nights. And make sure you're prepared for air conditioning (both legs and arms).&nbsp;</p> <p>For heat, I really like Angie's suggestion of the Old Navy linen blend pants. I have a similar pair from several years ago (mine are J. Crew) and they are workhorses for travel especially. Light, cool, but covered.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-dressing---help#post-1674779 Tue, 07 Jun 2016 14:06:09 +0000 Angie 1674779@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think your best bets are bottoms with waistbands with stretch, or roomy cocoon dresses that aren't too long. Here are some bottoms you can consider. &nbsp;I've added a pair of denim shorts in a curvy fit because you might like the extra room - finding it more comfortable.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-dressing---help#post-1674764 Tue, 07 Jun 2016 13:47:26 +0000 Ledonna N. 1674764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wide leg yoga pants in different prints or skirts I can't stand anything thing touching me.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-dressing---help#post-1674616 Tue, 07 Jun 2016 07:58:52 +0000 Adela 1674616@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Ranchylou. I don't wear shorts, except on the beach. When it's hot, I can wear only cotton and linen skirts, not fitted. Every summer I buy few in different colors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-dressing---help#post-1674600 Tue, 07 Jun 2016 06:53:08 +0000 rachylou 1674600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do the bottoms have to be pants? I want skirts in hot humid weather. I'm thinking cotton or linen A-line. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-dressing---help#post-1674465 Tue, 07 Jun 2016 01:28:23 +0000 Robin 1674465@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I leave for Canada (Southern Ontario) next week, and their weather is hot and humid.</p> <p>I don't have bottoms for hot and humid.</p> <p>This petite apple needs recommendations.</p> <p>Yes, I'm shoving this to the last minute, because the idea of shopping for bottoms is painful! My midsection is - well - in the way! :(</p> <p>So, bottoms that are light-weight, cut for a straight figure but are forgiving of a belly, and that are likely to be Mom-approved. </p> <p>I do have a couple of dresses (will send pics tomorrow to get opinions on which ones I should keep) and I'm pretty well set for tops...</p> <p>But it's those bottoms...can't I just go bottom-less?</p>
