This is gorgeous! As the heat can last for 6-8 months for my dominant season, if I had more semi-dressy occasions, I would definitely wear this. Silk is fabulous in the heat, and like you, I feel cooler in lightweight and natural fabrication longer layers to keep the sun off my skin (taking a cue from all of those who work outdoors all day, even in 110+ degree heat - are always covered heat to toe, predominantly in jeans and cotton dress shirts). I adore this look, top and bottom, and agree on the need for pointy-toed flats or maybe even a metallic sandal? Do like my feet to breathe in the heat! My goal for this year is to find semi-casual, work-from-home MOTG pieces with this overall vibe.
