Last week, I received a message from one of my readers, Lida, who lives in Texas, and she told me:
” In Texas. It turns 100 in Summer. I am looking for some outfit like loose pants, casual day dress so that I can look cute but still can breathe and do not look too fancy. Could you please share some shopping item list? “
First of all, thank you Lisa for writing to me. I really enjoy receiving letters / emails / DM from my readers, so please keep them coming!
So here I am today, showing you my actual Summer wear most of days. In Los Angeles, we also have those summer days that often reach over 100F. As you know I am a girl who usually chooses dress/skirt over pants/shorts, so I prefer:
1. Cotton dresses. I normally don’t like to show my legs that much, but for those hot days, I don’t have many problems with short dresses. I also don’t like dresses that are lined when wearing them on super hot days — the less fabric, the better! And I prefer “breathable” cotton more than other fabrics.
2. Sandals, no socks! I prefer flats or 1-2″ sandals if I don’t have special events to go. I am actually a fast-walking person; I am always in rush, but I don’t know why.
3. Big sunglasses with high bun, or big sunglasses with big hat! On really hot summer days, I don’t do heavy make up; sometimes I don’t do that at all. I have been living in hot /hot and humid cities since I grew up, and I hate it when I feel my face is oily.
