You guys! I mean. Y'all! It's so hot and I don't know what to wear. I wore PANTS in muggy, 85° weather and it was so hot. But, I hate shorts and sometimes skirts are just a big to-do. I didn't event want to do outfit photos but Blair insisted and she took great photos so I'm showing them off. So, here is my extremely casual outfit that I call: OMGITSHOTWHATDOIWEARTOTHEFARMERSMARKET.
I just love farmer's markets. Local aritsans with a platform to show off their wares. It's so awesome. The kids got their faces painted. They are monster bunnies or bunny monsters... I cant remember which. We sampled strawberries and mini donuts and I brought home something called sorghum. It's a type of molasses. Super southern. I'm putting it on pancakes, ASAP.
Blair and Magnolia joined us! (Blair took all of these photos that have me in them). Magnolia and Liam are precious together. She's just a few months older and she is so incredibly funny. I love the way Blair encourages and redirects her. They have a cute relationship. I hope the same can be said for Liam and I. Although, on this particular afternoon I bruised his arm when I grabbed him before he skedaddled into traffic. I then screamed something in his face and lectured him, through tears, on the way home about how much that scares mama and how sad I would be if he got hit by a car. Ah, motherhood. I promise I was kind but perhaps the heat is getting to me?

Disclaimer: not my blog. This post may help you out: http://modernmrsdarcy.com/2013/07/what-to-wear-when-its-stinkin-hot-out/ . I'm a Midwestern gal heading to TX for Memorial day & sweating at the thought. That post helped me figure out what to pack.
ReplyDeleteI work at home, so I opt for shorts or house dresses on those days. In public I wear light dresses or skirts/nice tanks, and I only wear items I can pair with a nice, comfy, but slightly dressy pair of sandals. These aren't available any longer, but to give you an idea of what I'm talkin' about, I picked up these for the summer of '14: http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/elliott-lucca-mia-sandal/3426165?origin=category-personalizedsort&contextualcategoryid=0&fashionColor=&resultback=700&cm_sp=personalizedsort-_-browseresults-_-1_1_D . Pinterest is a good resource for easy ways to put your hair up & back. I hide my barely-made-up face with a huge pair of sunnies & a ton of waterproof mascara for when they have to come off.
Hope that helps!
Thanks for the tips, Kaitlyn! <3
DeleteI have no advice - I'd melt!!! And/or be that lame girl carrying around one of those mini fans :)
