How to look cute and stay cool in the summer heat!

So it is over 90 degrees outside and you think, what is the point in getting dressed if in 30 seconds I am going to look like a wilted flower. Here are a few pointers to help you look your best even when the temperatures sky rocket.
Embrace your inner bohemian!
The bohemian trend makes it easy to to fashionable and stay cool. Choose gauzy light weight fabrics that either won't show wrinkles or are supposed to be wrinkled, and flowy shapes that aren't constricting and allow the breeze to blow through. Loose fitting natural fibers will allow ventilation, keeping you looking fresh all day long.
Embellish with holes~ Eyelet, Crochet, and Lace
Very feminine and pretty, yet also functional, it allows your skin to brethe. It is especially great in areas where sweat tends to show, and in the most structured areas of your attire; ie: the bustline and waistline. It works two-fold, allowing you to cool off and at the same time, distracting the viewers eye.
Layer
I know, it is seem counter intuitive to wear more clothes instead of less, but trust us on this one. Wear a tighter cotton layer close to your body, and then a loose sheer layer over. The loose layer on top will stay fresh, and conceal the wilting heat effect of the under layer. Just make sure your top layer is either sheer or cut right so you don't look frumpy.
Wear a slip dress
Light, airy, and feminine with lots of lace accents, this is the perfect choice for summer. They make great cover ups for the beach or pool also! Feeling self conscious? Layer a few different ones on top of each other. Or, if you are feeling up to celebrity status, pair your slip dress with cowboy boots as seen on Jessica Simpson, Paris Hilton, Scarlet Johannson, and Tara Reid.
Carry a handbag!
Instead of tucking a purse under your arm, or over your shoulder, carry a handbag. Tucking a bag under your arm, and against your body will make you hotter. Instead, grab a purse you can carry in your hands, away from your body, it will keep you and your bag looking fresh.
