Some thoughts on dressing for this crazy UK heat! Firstly, I know so many of you hate wearing summer clothes in the UK so let me explain why I think this is...
In the UK, let's face it, our weather generally isn’t the warmest, so when the sun does shine like it is this week, it can feel REALLY strange to suddenly have to abandon our numerous layers of clothing and wear an awful lot less or bare some skin.
And I honestly think, this is why so many UK women dislike dressing for summer in the UK.
We're just not used to it, are we?
Having to suddenly dress for very hot temperatures, can make us feel a bit weird and uncomfortable, or possibly even a little anxious. It can bring out our insecurities or body image struggles.
So my advice is, try and dress as you would if you're on a summer holiday abroad, when you throw abandon to the wind.
As I often hear from clients, that they love doing this! With many even having a different 'holiday wardrobe'.
Wear those gorgeous holiday or summer clothes that rarely get an outing and please try not to worry about what you look like.
It's going to be super, super hot this week so you need to try and keep yourself super cool in whatever you wear.
So you do you but maybe...
Wear whatever tickles your fancy.
Dig out your shorts and show those legs!
Waft around in those colourful summer dresses that have been hiding in your wardrobe for too long.
And remember, we're all in the same boat here. We're all just trying to deal with the heat that we're not at all used to, feeling a little more self conscious and unsure about ourselves and our outfits than normal.
Let's try to enjoy dressing for the sun, whilst we can.
We’ll be back in our jumpers before we know it. 😉
