It's Hella Hot: What Do You Wear?

I think one of the most difficult times to put together an outfit is right about...now. It's hella hot outside. Yeah, some temps may have settled back into the 80s for a few days, but friends, the 90s will be coming back soon. And I don't mean Ace of Base or Pearl Jam.

When the mercury hits the triple digits, you have a few choices:

1) Don't leave the house.

2) Leave the house naked or semi-naked and run the risk of burning your arse on your car seats and/or getting arrested.

3) Dressing accordingly and coolly.

I'm sure we can all agree that option number three is the most desirable, especially if you yearn to live outside your own walls and those of a cell. Thus, here's a set of some cool clothing that perfectly intermixes for those it's-so-hot-my-body-is-going-to-combust kinda days.

Day Dresses
Shorts

What's your go-to ensemble for insanely hot weather?

Currently Craving: Shorts, Jorts, Shorties

As previously mentioned, Charlotte NC is hot as hell right now. Because of the heat I have finally waved the white flag and chosen to shave my legs a few times each week...and when I do I feel like I earn the right to wear shorts.

While I love my Joe's rolled jorts (jean shorts) from last summer, I'm looking for a few more options to take me through September. Yes, it stays very hot in Charlotte through September. Sometimes October! I'm looking for easy, machine washable shorts that look great with flat sandals or wedges, cotton tanks or silk tops. Versatility is the name of the game.

Here's a little set of shorties I've had my eye on – each pair less than $80. I really despise paying an arm and a leg for shorts when you're really only getting 1/4 leg.

What are you currently craving?
