It's surprisingly difficult to find dressier cotton clothes. Even the very summery styles such as loose tops and maxi dresses are made of polyester. The fabric flows nicely, but it doesn't breathe.J.Banehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17195276109146618481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9176007711635280067.post-3723233432354704722017-07-31T16:46:27.277-06:002017-07-31T16:46:27.277-06:00Ive started making my summer clothes out of all na...Ive started making my summer clothes out of all natural fabrics, mainly so I can still wear my beloved black without having a heat stroke..

Anything other than loose cotton causes a flare-up.

I say the same thing all the time, if it's cold you can always put more clothes on, when it gets hot there is only so much a person can take off before they get arrested...

Luckily, our basement is finished, so I have there to retreat to. Also, those reusable icepacks that you can keep in the freezer are a godsend for no AC nights. (I have a few, because I am quite the klutz, lol!)
