Summer Style Sabotage

I'm going to get tough now.

But you can trust that it is meant with the BEST of intentions.
It is British Summer Time. That means the weather is warmer, the sky is bluer and we need to adjust our clothing accordingly. I do know that some people struggle style-wise when it gets hot. We are not all blessed with body-parts that are pleasing to the eye when naked. I also understand that it can be very tricky dressing to keep cool whilst maintaining a modicum of professionalism.

However, there are simply NO excuses for sabotaging your style - you deserve better than that. If the following list of "Top Offenders" is alarmingly familiar then please, please seek help immediately:

. Continuing to wear heavy black clothing and footwear. Pretending that it is still the depths of Winter will not make it go away.
. Recklessly adopting the leggings, baggy smock top and flat shoe look with no care for whether it actually suits or flatters you.
. Dressing like a man in shapeless cut-off trousers or shorts and equally shapeless polo shirt....and don't even get me started on those darned CROCS.
. Struggling on regardless in high, high heels and full-on make up. Fact: feet swell in the heat and make up melts = not a good look.

Sorry to be harsh.

... and, yes, I also struggle in the Summer but let me know if you would like me to share some of my "Summer Style Secrets" with you ....
