When it’s hot outside, sometimes it can be difficult to maintain your cool. High temperatures and stifling humidity all seem to work against your best efforts to look put together. 

This particular day I ran from meeting to meeting, in and out of A/C, finding myself wishing to be back at the beach or near a pool just for some relief. Despite the conditions, it was important that I somehow maintain an air of professionalism and confidence as I met with clients. Looking sweaty and disheveled was simply not an option. I knew I also wanted to be comfortable and ready for all of the running around, so I went for a simple monochromatic ensemble: fitted cotton t-shirt  (Wet Seal) and distressed skinny jeans (Trendsetter Boutique). To add a bit of flair and sophistication to an otherwise simple look, I chose a lightweight sleeveless duster vest in a nude hue (eBay). Metallic barrel bag trimmed in nude leather (Marshall’s) and matching nude pumps (Aldo) rounded out the look and once I added a sleek ponytail, aviator sunnies and a few bangles, I was out the door. 

The next time you need to pull together a comfy, cool and stylish outfit, consider a monochromatic ensemble with statement accessories and accents. Regardless of age, body type or size it’s a surefire way to be effortlessly chic.

Here are a few curvier sister-bloggers showing their take on the look.
