Ageless Style Link Up "The Heat Is On"

The Ageless Style Link Up-  The first Monday of every month a group of over forty fashion bloggers pick a monthly theme and show different ways of styling it. 

Welcome ladies to another Ageless Style Link Up.  This month's theme "The Heat Is On" was chosen by Debbie.  Debbie said "Do with it what you will...enjoy!" so I decided to feature an outfit  that I wore on a hot day visiting friends:  A day I really did "enjoy!".



Now if this outfit looks familiar to you, it's because it is!  I've shown it to you before HERE and HERE.  You will be seeing lots of my clothes on repeat, because I am just not buying new clothes during Covid...no matter how good the deals are.  I did buy a few pair of shoes, but that is all I've purchased the past five months.  Fashion just seems an unnecessary luxury during these trying times.


Now we've been having a lot of hot weather in Wisconsin this summer which is quite unusual for us.  When the weather gets warm, I like to wear lightweight clothes with the least material possible but still stay modestly dressed.  Skirts are my go-to item all summer long.  I wear shorts at home, but rarely wear them outside the house.  I prefer skirts or skorts to shorts anytime, and I enjoy off-the-shoulder tops like this one for keeping cool.


I also prefer comfortable sandals over sneakers or shoes.  They are so much more cooling than shoes that cover the entire foot.  I also have issues with my feet swelling on super hot/humid days, and sandals are more suitable footwear for that problem.


Now if you're wondering where all these beautiful photos have been taken and who these adorable pet animals are, they are all my dear friends.  She has lots of sun on her property, so she has the most beautiful flower gardens.  I am a lover of animals, especially cats, and I just went ga-ga over their kitten.  They also have two dogs, both of whom are as sweet as can be.


I will close this post with more pictures of my friend's beautiful garden.  Enjoy!









And now, be sure to check out the other ladies of Ageless Style and see how they interpreted the theme "The Heat Is On".

  1. Your top is so pretty, Amy. I like that it's off the shoulder, but with straps. Good for you for not buying anything. Unfortunately, I see "potential" in too many items, so have been buying!

    1. Thanks Kim! Yes, I love the straps too. I'm not tugging my top back up all the time.

  2. What a perfect summer outfit! Loving this top on you! Your friend's garden looks beautiful and such cute animals too! I'm trying to make my backyard prettier, should have done it years ago but it's never too late and I've been taking advantage of all types of reduced plants I found at Lowes' garden center. I go back at least once a week to see what I can find :-)

    1. Thank you! Yes, she has a beautiful yard with such a scenic view. My yard is so blocked in with trees and forests. But you're right, it's never too late. You are so young Ellie, start a garden! It only takes 3 years for a perennial garden to mature.

  4. What a beautiful kitty and I love all of these gorgeous flowers and just how they're arranged. I'm sure it is a lot of work, but man it is beautiful. I haven't been shopping as much either! :(

  5. I'm all about the sandals in our heat too Amy. And what a gorgeous garden, and that kitty is adorable.
    I only wish I could say I haven't bought anything. I'm so weak...

  8. I love this outfit: I have definitely been wearing my skirts and dresses a lot more this summer and sandals are always a favorite. I typically wear flat ones as they are more comfortable!

    1. Thank you! Yes, I like the look of heels but not the feel of heels, so I'm wearing more flats lately too.

  11. I agree, the heat is on! I've worn a lot of dresses lately to help beat the heat. However, when I wear shorts is nice to have a top with extra interest to jazz up the look, right? Your top fits the bill and more so!
