Today’s outfit is a pretty simple one. We’re in the middle of a heat wave here in Victoria, and it is sweltering. Although I absolutely adore my little flat, there is one thing about it that I don’t love: it’s not air-conditioned. There isn’t even a fan. So I’m wearing light, simple clothes to beat the heat.
I am wearing:
– Turquoise earrings (made by my aunt)
– Coral camisole top (thrifted)
– Denim shorts from K Mart (customized by me)
– Black Havianas thongs
– Red beaded bracelet (gift from my mum’s bestie)
– Turquoise ring (gift from my mum)
This is the first time I’ve worn these shorts since I added the embellishment to the back pockets. The fabric came from my favourite pair of P.J pants, which came apart at the seams earlier in the year. I didn’t want to waste the fabric, so I made a couple of hair bows and used the rest to embellish the pockets on my shorts. I think it adds a fun and geeky twist to one of my summer wardrobe staples.
This camisole was a steal at just $3. It’s light as air and so cool. The only thing I don’t like about it is that it’s really hard to find a bra to wear with it. I just went for a nude bra today, but I think I might have to go with a strapless next time.
What do you wear to beat the heat?

ICK superman shorts! ❤
They were really easy to make! I just cut out the pocket shapes from the fabric and hand-stitched them in place.
Wow you look amazing, what legs! I’m too shy to wear short skirts and shorts normally but you look hot! Could you take a look at my blog and let me know what you think of any of the outfits? I’d love to read your input! http://fashionthatpays.wordpress.com
Thank you so much for your gorgeous compliment. I never used to feel confident enough to bare my legs, but I’ve become more self-assured in the last year or so.
I just adored your blog! I’ve added it to my reader so that I can keep up with your latest posts. Thanks so much for getting in touch.
Thank you too!
Your community is bright, inviting, informative and simply, it feels good. Nice photo shots. You look like you are having fun. As you should. So glad you redirected me back over.
Awww, thanks so much. Thank you for your support.
Pooh i love what you did with the pockets!!!
When I have an odd shaped top that shows my brastraps, I wear my convertible bra that came with clear plastic straps. They are barely noticeable and still provide the um… stability… that I need in that area 😉
I used to have one of those bras with the clear straps, but they always made me break out in a rash. Which is a bit of a bummer. Next time I’ll be wearing this top with a strapless bra, I think.
Ooh, not good!!! Also, I have a bra strap replacement that I ordered from ebay. It’s a racer back shape and is black cotton material with an intricate lace triangle in the back… hard to explain haha but it doesn’t look like bra straps!
