I was pleasantly surprised by the success of the Grim Reaper outfit. I do like these charcoal shades of grey which are a little softer on my than pure black.</p> <p>Fashintern - don't tempt me, I love Germany! Unfortunately I don't speak German, so that may make living their a little difficult. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-extreme-weather#post-2078723 Wed, 20 Nov 2019 11:40:09 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2078723@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great, as always, and your smile is your best accessory, as always. Predictably, my favorite is #3, your stylish Grim Reaper, because it’s the one closest to “bundled up”. How to beat the heat? My answer was to move to Germany! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-extreme-weather#post-2078643 Tue, 19 Nov 2019 19:52:27 +0000 Katerina 2078643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look gorgeous! I love all of these.<br /> Is the first one your Princess Diana blouse? It is very beautiful on you and what a fabulous color combination with the pink and lilac. The second one is super fun and the third outfit is my personal favorite - sooo cool! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-extreme-weather#post-2078554 Tue, 19 Nov 2019 14:32:42 +0000 Bijou 2078554@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Synne - a great suggestion. I don't have white trousers, but I do have a white skirt, so I should give that a try.</p> <p>Suz - it is strange how the weather has turned. I am also surprised to hear that some of you in the Northern Hemisphere have had snow.&nbsp;</p> <p>Sal - I do feel sad for the wildlife especially when so many of these terrible fires are deliberately lit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-extreme-weather#post-2078266 Mon, 18 Nov 2019 18:45:55 +0000 Sal 2078266@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great - and yes climate change is real and scary. It is sad for the wildlife as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-extreme-weather#post-2078253 Mon, 18 Nov 2019 18:01:31 +0000 Suz 2078253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look so pretty in all of these! But what a change in temperatures over a short period of time. It must leave you with a spinning head! Luckily, you are up to the challenge.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-extreme-weather#post-2078249 Mon, 18 Nov 2019 17:55:14 +0000 Synne 2078249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the pin-up look of #1!

Your outfit is pretty, but looks way too hot for over 80 degrees to me (but we probably have higher humidity).<br /> Sad about the koalas </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-extreme-weather#post-2078064 Mon, 18 Nov 2019 00:08:29 +0000 Bijou 2078064@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shevia - the picture came up on Pininterest - but it is a label that I have not heard of before Demobaza&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.demobaza.com/">https://www.demobaza.com/</a>&nbsp; I showed my husband this because he loves Star Wars and some of their collection reminds me of what the characters wear in that. My version is definitely easier to pull off and not scare the neighbours.</p> <p>Sarah - luckily I am on the West Coast, so we are not dealing with too many fires here. It is terrible to see so many people losing their houses and the thing that I really hate is that the fires are in koala country - we are losing lots of our beautiful animals too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-extreme-weather#post-2077916 Sun, 17 Nov 2019 02:23:55 +0000 SarahD8 2077916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! Absolutely adore the red double-leopard outfit!</p> <p>Hope you've gotten a break in the weather. The fires in Australia this year are so scary. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-extreme-weather#post-2077914 Sun, 17 Nov 2019 02:21:50 +0000 Jaime 2077914@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is it the Grim Reaper or is it from the Rick Owens catalog? :)<br />I like your version better anyway. Love the pedal pusher look too. The yellow blouse works beautifully with them.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-extreme-weather#post-2077903 Sun, 17 Nov 2019 00:52:18 +0000 Bijou 2077903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Grim Reaper is the most popular combination, funny where inspiration can come from!</p> <p>Mainlady - thanks for the comments and yes to cool summer dresses. Adding the happiness factors for interest, now I need to do that more.</p> <p>Kathie - thankfully it is cooling down. As someone who likes warmer temps, even for me 40C is too hot.</p> <p>Cardiff Girl - very wise words about drinking lots of water.</p> <p>Toronto Girl - you definitely need a slip dress, it would look gorgeous on you.</p> <p>Carla - I have a linen over shirt to wear on scorching summer's days.&nbsp;</p> <p>LisaP - yes there is a point where it is so hot, that you just need to stay indoors and not let the weather bother you. Glad you like the slip dress and sweater combination.</p> <p>Kellygirl - I was surprised at how much I liked the Grim Reaper look too! Something to wear if the weather cools down (hopefully before April 2020).</p> <p>kkards - the only problem which such heat, is that you cannot go to the beach. The sand is so hot, it burns you feet and I get sunburnt after about 10 minutes in the sun.</p> <p>JAileen - now I want to see your Grim Reaper outfit!</p> <p>Slim Cat - some great tips. I am lucky that at work we have airconditioning and so the weather does not matter. This was the weekend, so your tips for being cool and casual are much appreciated.</p> <p>Jenna - I love the JCrew sweater. One of those items that as soon as I saw it, I knew that it would be perfect for me.&nbsp;</p> <p>bj1111 - now I cannot imagine coping with snow. You ladies are amazing!</p> <p>Angie - I love the yellow top too.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-extreme-weather#post-2077895 Sun, 17 Nov 2019 00:24:54 +0000 Angie 2077895@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Climate change is real....</p> <p>#1 is KILLER and my fave.

You look great in every picture.<br />For hot weather - I don't tuck in blouses/tops ( silk, rayon mostly ) and wear open rayon shirts over silk tanks with sleeves rolled up or cuffed. I'm usually in shorts or skirts with A-line shape. So my tricks work only in very casual environment - not dressy enough for work .&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-extreme-weather#post-2077844 Sat, 16 Nov 2019 17:05:42 +0000 JAileen 2077844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh wow! &nbsp;That’s awful. &nbsp;Yet you look cool as a cucumber. &nbsp;<div><br /></div><div>Funny, my son was grim reaper for Halloween, too (years ago).

You have my sympathy. I suffer through our high summer, wear dresses, and dream about winter. And, I thoroughly enjoy all the WIWs from everyone in the Southern Hemisphere in July and August. Love your playful looks! The leopard heart and your monster bag are adorable. You did a great job of capturing the flowy layers of the Grim Reaper. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-extreme-weather#post-2077794 Sat, 16 Nov 2019 10:54:00 +0000 Mainelady 2077794@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look gorgeous in all temps! The yellow blouse is such a cheerful color! Red done right! Love the sweater, especially. Your Grim Reaper inspiration is anything but grim and my favorite of the 3. Mr. Monster bag adds fun, not fear. :)<br />&nbsp; My best advice for warm weather dressing is as few layers as possible &nbsp;, touching as few body parts as possible, &nbsp;I will often choose a dress, add happiness factors and head out the door. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-extreme-weather#post-2077791 Sat, 16 Nov 2019 10:00:09 +0000 Bijou 2077791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Today we have had very hot weather - 40C or 104F and it is hot for Spring! I was wondering why running around I felt like I was melting. Luckily we are going back to cooler temps in the next few days. 28C will feel positively cool by comparison.</p> <p>Yet two weeks ago, it was cold and raining.</p> <p>Some WIW's from my vastly different weekends -&nbsp;</p> <p>Photo 1 Today - yellow blouse, black pedal pushers, pink shoes and lilac bag (at end of day, so looking melted)<br />Photo 2 Prior weekend - red leopard silk slip dress, boots and JCrew sweater<br />Photo 3 Grey jeans, grey sweater, grey ombre scarf and boots - plus Monster bag (inspired by the Grim Reaper).<br />Photo 4 - the inspiration behind my Photo 3 look - found this when looking for Grim Reaper costumes for DS for Halloween.</p> <p>Any tips on how to beat the heat would be much appreciated! </p>
