Weekend OOTD

Its getting hot in herre! (obviously you need to sing this in Nelly voice)

The thing with Dubai summer is that even though I am fully aware its the desert and it will be unbearably hot for months, the first weeks of true heat and humidity still shock me. To the point where I have to moan about it daily until I can accept it and the life that it brings. I will be spending all my days indoor and running from one AC powered building to another for the foreseeable future.

Keeping that in mind- this weekend we made sure to use the sweet golden hour of sunset to take some picture outdoor. The pavement was still not burning the soles of my feet so I considered this a mild evening. Mate got to come along and we had lovely (read: short) walk that called for a shower afterwards.

 Let me just tell you in advance. I would never wear anything like this to a mall. Showing off ones midriff in a public place in Dubai is in my opinion rather disrespectful. This is something I wear around my house, to the beach or a BBQ party at friends place.

The sleeveless palm tree print shirt from Pull&Bear is one of my current favorites. The material is linen mix making it so lightweight and a pleasure to wear. I love the subtle print and the muted colors. Also it works perfectly totally buttoned up tucked into a pencil skirt and that's how I have worn it to work.

The skirt is ASOS Midi Skirt with Bold Pleats. Its thick ponte fabric that falls nicely and I do like the peach color. However if you are thinking of ordering I would say size down. My usual size 10 sits on my hips whereas I would have loved it to stay put on the waist. Other than that it has good quality and no surprise that Im still all about the midi length.

 

 I have high hopes that next weekend would let us go for one more early evening walk but we shall see.

Hope the summer has arrived in a bit milder manner to wherever you are. Have you bought any summer clothes you are especially loving? Do let me know.
