A Beat the Heat #Thrifty Thursday

A chilly & stormy July has given way to a sweltering & humid August which means hiding indoors as much as I can to save my insanely sensitive skin from the scorching sun. When I must venture outside I slather on my sunscreen specifically formulated for fair cancer-risk skin, throw on a light dress and a pair of oversized vintage shades and stick to the shade as much as possible.

    Embroidery is very slimming — nice

    1. The dress is actually handpainted not embroidered 😉 The style of the dress definitely highlights my (already) slim figure. It is a challenge finding dresses that compliment my large chest (32F) and small frame so this one is a favourite

    Love the outfit – gorgeous dress. Still not much heat in my little part of the world though.

    This curtain challenge is proving more difficult than I thought! Bedsheets? Easy peasy! Curtains? not quite so! Really enjoying it!

    1. Curtain fabric is always a bit tricky to work with, either too thin & slippery or too thick & tough! 😀
