I Grew Up in Arizona and Now Rely On These 5 Heatproof Outfits

@michaela_beeJeans are absolutely out of the question when it's really hot outside, but I can get behind denim shorts, especially pairs that are at least 90% cotton. Here I paired my shorts with an eyelet crop top that's polished enough for all of the back-to-back video meetings I had this day. Oh, and that bag—which by the way gets compliments every time I wear it—is on sale right now for $49. You know what to do.

@michaela_beeSay it with me, "Linen is my best friend in the heat." Shorts, overalls (see below), dresses, tops—you name it, and I want it in linen. I didn't have any meetings this day (shocking), so I went really casual with linen shorts and my favorite white ribbed tank. I accessorized with some layered necklaces and my two new favorite Amazon finds, this hat and these white sneakers.

@michaela_beeA minidress is a no brainer for warm days. I wore this pastel one at the end of my workday and then headed out to an outdoor socially distanced dinner (with my pastel mini bag, too!). And no, I did not remember to snap an Instagram picnic photo, sadly.

@michaela_beeYes, more linen, but don't say I didn't warn you. I've gotten more use out of these linen overalls this summer than anything else in my closet, except for the square-toe sandals also pictured here. I highly recommend pairing looser overall styles like this with a bodysuit so you don't have to awkwardly reach down the sides to tug in your tank. Been there, done that.

@michaela_beeI take summer Fridays very seriously, whenever possible. That means wearing my pajamas until 2 p.m. when I promptly throw on a bikini and head to the beach. Long sleeves are almost always out of the question between May and August, but a linen one acts as a great bikini cover-up, so I sometimes make the exception. Waterproof slides, a straw hat, and some jewelry make this more of a look, which I'm always into.
