Boy it’s hot this week.

It was heat indices of 100 degrees here in Missouri so I was thinking what should I wear to work. I want to look cool and feel cool.

One Bubbling with Elegance and Grace fashion tip is to make sure you wear the type of fabric that works with the climate that you’re in.  Where I live, it’s a lot of humid and hot days in the summer so natural fibers or a blend is perfect for me.

The fabric in this sheath dress by Evan Picone is 95% Polyester and 5% Spandex. My doggie is either looking at the squirrel or eyeing the awesome print of the dress. Sheath dresses are a fashion do because I can put on a shirt over this and be completely work appropriate. It is so versatile.  If you do not have a sheath dress, then this weekend check out Macy’s because they have great sales and you never know what you may find.  This dress was $17.00 and I have had it for almost two years now.

Now you would think … Oh my gosh this is a synthetic fiber, so she must be sweating like there is no tomorrow. Not so! This fabric blend was so comfortable and breathable it was amazing.  Also, the dress is not see-through so no need for a slip.

Blends can be so amazingly comfortable and breathable.  Polyester has come a long way because I have seen this synthetic fiber woven to look like silk.  Having comparisons in fiber is a good thing because we don’t always know how are “natural” fibers are being produced. Technology has really advanced in the fiber industry.

I am getting pretty deep here so let me get back to the outfit post.

Another love of mine is comfortable shoes but I want them to look stylish. These wedges are by Nina. The color is peach but in the sun they are coming across as a tan color.  Kinda karma Chameleon effect.  I heart them because you get the height without feeling the pain and these shoes have padding in them.

The sun is so bright I hope you can see them.

I really have to take the time to focus on what works for me.  I will be going through my closet this weekend.
