Thanks to my friends over at Catherines for Sponsoring this post.

With the constant heat waves moving across the states, it is hard to find creative ways to find work or event appropriate looks that look hot, but aren’t hot...Get it?  Light and airy is the key, but the main tip for beating the heat in the summer time is layers. I know what you are thinking; The less clothes, the better, but there are times when layers are the perfect choice. 

Hear me out…

Fabric types can play a major role in keeping you cool. Catherines has some great pieces that offer that style and function. To achieve the look, just keep in mind that basics are a must. A basic tee, tanks, or shell paired with you bottom of choice. Keeping it basic will be perfect for the layered piece. The Leopard Remix Kimono is perfect just for this. I paired the Leopard Remix Kimono with the Essential Flat Front Jean. For a work look, add a ballet flat or pump to complete the look. For a comfy car look, add your favorite sandals or a slip-on sneaker. All of these can be found in airy fabrics for ultimate coolness. 

If you love versatility with your looks, wrap your kimono and belt it for belted vest look. This is the look I achieved and I love it. Going from day to night is as simple as a belt. Don’t forget to pair it with your favorite heeled sandal or mule.

Ladies, I would love to hear what fabrics do you like to layer with? Until the next time, stay blessed and beautiful.
