5 Outfits to Wear to Stay Cool During a Heat Wave

I'm pretty sure where ever you live, it's safe to say it's been SOOOO hot. Like, 95 with a 102 heat index and 100% humidity. It's been so hot that my pool water is about 88 degrees and barely refreshing! But I swear I am NOT complaining... I love summer and wouldn't trade it for the world! In fact, can it last longer? Hah! I love the warm weather, summer activities and events and spending time in the sun but on the days that it's this hot/humid, getting dressed and leaving your house (aka leaving the AC) can be pretty miserable... So if it's crazy hot where you are and you're struggling with what to wear when you go out so you don't feel like you're overheating within three seconds, here's some outfit inspo - these looks are sure to keep you as comfortable as possible even during these crazy heat waves!

Round Straw Tote / White Flip Flops / Yellow & White Striped Cross-Front Tank / High Waist White Denim Shorts / Round Tortoise Shell Sunnies
This cami tank is one of my favorites - it also comes in blue and it's so lightweight that it's a great option for a hot day! It also comes in a blue color and it's a great tank to have to wear more casually, like this look, or dress it up a bit with white jeans and a pair of wedges for a night out. This wrap style is so flattering too!

Navy Tank Top Shift Dress / Gold Open Hoop Earrings / Kopari Coconut Rose Toner / Floppy Hat / Beaded Slide Sandals
On even the hottest day of the year, there's nothing a super lightweight and flowy shift dress can't fix! I LOVE this dress for a hot day - wait until you see how many color choices there are! These beaded slide sandals are the cutest find for summer, they're so different than most sandals you see. And on a crazy hot day, you need to have this coconut rose toner in your bag and with you at ALL times - it's a super refreshing burst of moisture for your face and helps keep your makeup from melting no matter what the humidity is.

Tie-Back Tank Top / Tortoise Sunnies / White Converse / Linen Shorts / Double Link Necklace
Another hot day must have are a great pair of linen shorts. They're so lightweight and way better than denim is in heat. When you want to wear jewelry but it's too hot to even think about, a pretty and dainty necklace like this won't even feel like you're wearing it but looks super pretty!

Colorblock Kate Spade Bucket Bag / 'Over Ice' Graphic Tee / High Waist Distressed Denim Shorts / Striped Bow Scrunchie
On a day when you're not planning on leaving the house unless it's to go to the pool, or for when you need a really simple go-to look, simple shorts and a cute graphic tee are the way to go! I live in these denim shorts in the summer - they're comfortable, affordable and you can stock up with all of the washes they come in.

Turquoise Cuff Bracelet / Turquoise Stud Earrings / White Crossbody Bag / Turquoise Slide Sandals / Striped T-Shirt Dress
Another easy dress to throw on, add pops of colorful accessories to and go. This dress is SO easy and lightweight. It's a must buy!
