SOME LIKE IT HOT!

Sunday, 08 July 2012

We're having a heat-wave...a tropical heat

wave!

And boy, are

we ever! We're

used to having high temperatures here in sunny

Southern California but, 100 degrees...in

Chicago? Hey,

all of you friends of mine in the midwest, the

northeast and, of course, in my native south, you

know...it's been hot this summer!

Some overweight women and men prefer the cold

winter months because they can layer their clothes and

"hide" beneath those extra layers.

Now I know that some overweight women and men prefer

the colder winter months because, then, they can layer

their clothes and "hide" beneath those extra layers of

clothing. But, hot as it has been lately, I'd say

you'd look a little silly in a hooded, wool parka

walking down Michigan Avenue in Chicago! LOL.

But fear not! I don't want you hiding from the world

because you can't layer yourself down with clothes

during the summer season. Go through your closet and

see what you've stored way in the back. Have you

lost some weight so far this year? Good! In that case,

you may discover that you're

fitting better into some of

those clothes you wore last summer. Or you may even

decide it's time to make a trip to your local galleria

and pick out a new outfit or two for the summer. Know

what's hot in fashion this year?

Polka-dots, for one. There was a comic book character

when I was growing up and her name was Little

Dot. And

Dot took her name very seriously. I mean, everything

she wore was covered in dots.

(She was so cute!) Polka-dots perk up your

look instantly. Go for the smaller dots. They'll

make you look slimmer while brightening your look.

Polka-dots are clean-looking enough to be paired with

stripes or maybe some tiny florals for a festive and

perky look.

What's more cool and comfortable than a flowing

dress? They're great for shopping or wearing on a

warm night out for a healthy

dinner with

friends. Choose a one-piece dress or pair a flowy

skirt with a loose-fitting blouse for a sexy and

confident look, even if you still have some weight to

lose.

Or how's about a flowing, lose-fitting top to wear

with your favorite pair of jeans or slacks? Those

tiny polka-dots, thin vertical stripes or small

florals will all look good with your favorite pair of

jeans.

I want you looking

good and

feeling good about

yourself this summer, no matter what you weigh.

I know you've got a pair of sandals or flats to

complete your look this summer. Or, if you're gonna

be doing a lot of walking, a pair of comfortable

walking-shoes should fit perfectly with your look.

Look everybody, it's too hot to be staying indoors all

the time. (Besides, it'll send your power

bill...through the roof!)Get outside and enjoy this

summer season and I want you looking

good and feeling

good about

yourself, no matter what you weigh. And by the

way, be sure to wear sunscreen and drink plenty of

water during

these hot summer months.

I want you to be a cool and good-looking fashion

statement even though, outside, the weather is

truly...hot, hot, hot!

Love,
