Heatwave

So the heatwave has hit Toronto, and dressing accordingly is hard.  I tried to wear pants to work the other day and the second I pulled them over my calves I took them off.  It just felt sticky and constricting, so I just needed something easy that would breathe.  I also wanted something new, so I headed down to H&M again, I think the ONLY place I shop now.  Not completely by choice, but really in Toronto it is pretty hard to find clothes that are cheap as well as decently made.  Oh well at least the buyers improved greatly this year giving me a lot of choice.

So my hunt was preferably a dress, something airy and not at all constricting.  I am very into blues, greens and greys so if something came in those colors even better.  I loved this one, I love how it has a nice structure to it.

When I tried it on though it wasn’t exactly the perfect fit, as well as I didn’t really want to spend $50 on something that was not exactly what I needed.  So on to the next one.  I love this next one because it looked very comfy and with a cardigan I could wear it to work.

The problem with this was that the top half was too big for me while the bottom fit quite well.  Oh well, the search continued! I loved the shape of this dress, the almost tulip shaped bottom half.  It also looks a little old greek style with the layered top.

Well lets just say it looked a lot longer on the hanger, and that lower layer does not cover as much as I thought.  It looked very nice on, aside from the fact that you got a glimpse of my very upper thigh every time i slightly moved.  That was unfortunate because it was a great price and came in a turquoise, burgundy and I think a few other colors.  I finally ended up with a jersey mix fabric dress in turquoise.  It has short sleeves and a deep V neck line.  I couldn’t find a picture of it online, but the closest style would be this one.

The dress I got though has a more structured top and no pockets.  I have been living in it though so it was an extremely good buy! Anything that can help me through this humidity is fantastic.  I hope that everyone else out there in Toronto is dealing with the heat in any way possible!
