It seems churlish to complain about the hot weather when it’s cold and raining for a lot of the year…but I’m going to anyway! It’s just insanely hot and humid. I had to sleep downstairs last night, it was stifling upstairs. I’ve been wearing the lightest, airiest clothing I have when I need to go out. No air con in my car is horrendous – my sat nav switches to dark mode because my phone gets too hot! Thankfully, the temperature is going to drop back down to the 20s at the weekend. It’s a sign of things to come I fear.
When it’s this hot, I have to get my hair off my face; it turns to frizz and fluff anyway. A colourful headband always comes in handy. This fruit print maxi skirt is very summery and tropical, and it has an elasticated waist so it’s comfortable. I have a matching crop top but I wanted something with more coverage, so I paired it with this loose square neck top. I picked up on the fruit theme with a fun necklace and beaded bag. I bought the skirt last year for my holiday in Cape Verde, where I wore it with a blue vest. That’s the great thing about a skirt like this, you can pair it with almost any colour.
For some reason, Inlinkz isn’t working for me – it’s showing a 500 bad server gateway error. I can’t log in or see any of the posts linked from last week. So unfortunately, I can’t add this week’s link up widget at the moment, but hopefully it will be up and running tomorrow. All being well, I’ll add the link up and last week’s favourites tomorrow.
Update: all seems to be working ok now 🙂

No airco in the car sounds horrible. I hope you don’t have to drive to far for work. That is a fabulous skirt! And a hairband is the best solution these days! A few more days to go with these temps, hang in there.
That skirt is so fun!

Love the skirt, such vibrant colours!
I was joining another linkup today and got an error message saying that the owner of the blog (me!) doesn’t allow photo sharing. I logged out of inlinkz and then used my blog’s email address, and all was resolved.
What a fabulous skirt! Love the vibrant pink top with it. Thanks for the feature and link up!!

You really nailed it for a fun and colorful outfit on a hot summer day! Love your fruit and vegetable maxi skirt and the vibrant pink accessories. Your veggie beaded bag is especially cute! Hope the weather breaks for you soon!
Oh my gosh, what a fabulous skirt! And your coordinating fruity handbag is so fun, too. This skirt really does lend itself to a thousand combinations, doesn’t it? Any color will do and probably any pattern as well for a fun print mix. So cute, my friend! I think heat waves are getting us everywhere in the world right now. We are looking at the next 10 days being unbearably hot and humid with record breaking temperatures. I also feel silly complaining about the heat when we experience winter for 8-9 months a year. But honestly, I’ll take the bitter cold and snow over this intense sweat fest!
