It was a hot one today!  Not gonna lie, I had the HARDEST time figuring out what to wear for my "mom's day off" of running errands.  With temperatures of 102 degrees, looking fashionable and staying cool was quite a challenge!

I searched for some inspiration and here are a few of the photos that helped me with my final product...

A sleeveless tunic/beach cover up and a pair of shorts.  These types of tunics are usually lightweight and cool to begin with, adding a pair of shorts is all it takes to make them errand- running worthy.

After all my inspiration searching, here is what I came up with from my own closet...

A pair of white pants, a colorful tunic-y top, statement shoes and complementary jewelry to bring out the colors in the top.

Closet lesson learned today:
Using staples such as a pair of white pants, a maxi dress, a tunic top, or a colorful statement piece, there are many options to "beating the heat" and still looking great!
