Heatwave!!!!...& Fashion!

NYC is smack dab in the middle of a heatwave!! Mayor Bill de Blasio issued a "heat emergency"!!!!


What the heck is a heat emergency? www.healthline.com describes a heat emergency as a health crisis caused by exposure to hot weather and sun.


I'm convinced I'm the only person in NYC not complaining about the heat. I'm an American born of Congolese parents so maybe that has something to do with my being able to handle the heat. My solution is usually to take it easy & dress accordingly. I should say, I've climbed pyramids at extreme temperatures and I survived...

The Mayor held a press conference and offered some ways to stay cool, here are a few things I think he missed...


1) Wear loose fitting clothes...linen pants are my "best fraaaan"!!! loose shorts keeps things breezy

  

    Old Navy linen pants/ H&M tank

H&M shorts & tank

2) Wear light colored clothes: light colored clothing reflects the sun's heat from the body

3) Bring your work clothes to work instead of wearing them to work, change when you get to the office.

4) Only wear make-up indoors: If you have the option, apply your make- up when you get to the office, then remove it for the commute home.

5) Walk slowly...nuff said


And like the mayor said, drink plenty of water!!!


Stay cool NYC
