Thanks, everyone!
delurked, like you, I think roomy dresses are best for high heat! HIGH FIVE.
Dee, you are so lovely! I appreciate the remodel empathy. Onward we go....
Suz, astute you described how I can wear volume - neat on the shoulders (and neckline!) - and big everywhere else, and not unlike you too
bonnie, we live in the city, so if it's an urban doggie walk - which I do a few times a day - YES! I stay in the clothes I have on already - I'm dressy) - and walk Sam and Jo (who are well behaved and easy to walk). It's not on a trail or at a muddy dog park, IYKWIM. Then I would wear casual clothes and mud-friendly shoes. Thanks for the sweet words!
Lisa, what a TREAT to see you here on my thread - WOW! Missed you! Thanks for the sweet compliments, and yes all good our side. Patience is a virtue with remodeling. Hope all is good your side too
Carla and JennyH, thanks for chiming in!
