Dressed up in hot weather

Hot weather can pose a few style challenges, not least if you need to dress up for a special occasion. When all you want to do (besides sleep in your refrigerator) is to wear something comfortable, having to come up with a smart and stylish outfit can seem impossible.

Enter the maxi dress… Not only is it easy (one-stop dressing at its best), it can also be very elegant, depending on the style of the dress and on how you accessorise it.

For this outfit, I went for the classic look: keep it simple but add a few luxe touches. Pretty sandals, nice jewellery and a small handbag make the outfit appropriate for a garden party, dinner or a summer wedding. Of course, for a more formal occasion I should probably do something about the hair…

    This is indeed a very good dress. It flatters you, it is cheerful, it looks stylish and you can wear flat sandals with it. Indeed a terrific dress for hot weather. Or when you just want to look fab. Which you do.Greetje

      Oh yes, flat sandals, that's a must. Well, I only have flat shoes, so there's no much choice, really. Thanks, Greetje.

    Tiina, you look really lovely in this floral maxi dress . A handy dress to have in the wardrobe , as you say you can dress it up or down. Hope you are able to stay cool in the heat.

      Thanks, Jill. Yes, I thought I could dress it up or down, and maybe wear it on cooler days, too (we have cooler summer days here, too…)

    Great dress. I love your summer style with the umbrella. So cool. How many different umbrellas do you have? Thanks for joining the Ageless Style Link up party.

      Thanks, Nicole. I have 3 sun umbrellas, but I use only 2 of them (the third one is very small, so not very useful). This one is my favourite because it's the biggest. And I have a folding sun umbrella for when I travel.

    Beautiful dress, I love the colours. I prefer a maxi dress in hot weather too, in fact they're pretty much all I wear on holiday when I'm not sunbathing. The parasol adds a very elegant touch. Thanks for linking up!Emma xxxwww.style-splash.com
