Ahh, how about this heat?
Well, maybe it’s not so hot where you are but I tell you here in Queensland it feels like I’m still in Bali … except without the private pool, air-con and cocktails on tap.
Yep, it’s back to reality. And a mega dose of it with back to school this week.
Now, I’ve tackled the what-to-wear-on-the-school-run issue before. And I’ve made some suggestions for what to wear on the school run as it cools down in the coming months.
But this week’s been a whole new school-run style ball game. One, I’ve not really felt like playing.
Could be post-holiday blues or just that icky, sticky feeling that comes with gazillion percent humidity … whatever the cause, my high summer school-run outfits have very much erred on the comfort and cool side of style.
Here’s an example – a high summer school-run outfit – not to mention a chance for me to show off my other holiday purchase from Mist boutique in Bali {the other purchase featured here for cocktails at Potato Head}.
I’m seriously in love with this label – the beautiful fabrics which are printed with Mist’s exclusive designs – are so easy to wear. They’re available in Australia too but you’ll probably pay a little more than what I did in Seminyak but in my opinion worth it.

Anyhoo, this one – as you can see – is very much of the strappy nature. I’m not usually one for getting my tuckshops out there but out there they are this week. To wear anything on top is just too damn hot. Should it be lovely and cool where you are, however, why not layer an old-school denim jacket and summer scarf on top?
Underneath, I’m wearing a slip dress {extra useful for soaking up the sweat coming from places no women should sweat from} and I threw on a coloured bra as I refuse to wear a strapless unless it’s a formal occasion. Even then it has to be a damn good dress for me to forgo my normal support for the girls. Besides, my stunning ex-model girlfriend tells me that showing a coloured bra is all the rage in Paris. She spent two months there last summer, so we’ll go with that, shall we?

What’s the weather doing where you live? Did your kids go back to school? What’s your summer school run style look like?
