That Fashion Eye: Here comes the sun!

Who can resist an ice cream in weather like this?

Today was so hot I even considered going commando! But fashion.

I know what you're thinking, typical English weather talk, but it was about 28 degrees...nonetheless we managed to combat the weather and pull off summer styling.

Unintentionally matching tanned belts.

Belts are a great investment, they're one of the rare things that are practical and fashion, helping you lose inches off the waist and keep your bottoms from revealing your actual bottom.

Ebony is leading the Papa Pants trend with a DIY cheerleader crop to match. You can see (as mentioned before) the gathered effect that these type of shorts create. If you wanna avoid looking very crotchy, then gather the excess around the back. These are a 28w mens which is huge, they're perfect in the scorching sun because they're so loose around the waist and thigh, much more comfortable and way less sticky sweat (I'm sorry but it had to be mentioned).

I wore something more free and flowy because I get very agitated in the heat. I wanted to make sure that I could prevent getting snappy and knew a light outfit would keep me content.

I don't own many summer skirts so I turned an ancient Topshop bandeau into a cute skirt, plus I love the print and refuse to wear the top as it is so it'd be a shame to let something go to waste.

Tip: Be sustainable and rework an old item of clothing to increase it's life cycle and reduce landfills.

I rummaged everywhere to find a top that didn't break me out into a monsoon of perspiration and finally found something. This knitted vest is super light weight and breathable, the porous fabric is great in keeping you cool throughout the day. It's also a better alternative to some hideous plain white spaghetti strap. Don't think I wasn't tempted though.

A crop will stop you from overheating in dark shades.
The elasticated waist is flattering on the bust as it tightens the fabric against it.

The thick tanned belt hides to elastic smocking of the bandeau, but also separates the cream and the patterned bottom.

Open toed sandals will let your toes breathe, avoiding any rank smells or bacteria build up (GROSS lol). The shade of white will also brighten up a tan.

Espadrilles are fairly cheap and go with literal all outfits. You can even wear them at night, though I'd go for a black pair. They're the best for the beach because you can get them dirty, and if they get ruined they're not too expensive to replace, you can put them in the wash too.

Buy a bag that you can throw anything it and carry where ever you want. You don't want to bring your new Prada ( swoon, who am I kidding!!) to the beach and get it ruined.
