It’s that time of year again – when temperatures rise to three digits and sweat begins to ooze out of you the second you step outside. No need to panic though! After all, it’s a DRY heat, so it could be WAY worse. Also, there are plenty of ways to stay fashionable this spring, and A Tailored Place is going to show you how.

1. Try to do something cute with your hair, like a donut bun or another look named after a pastry item that can be enjoyed at any time of day. Or just put it in a ponytail like always!

2. Test out some new makeup looks! Now is the time to break out those colorful eyeliners. Nothing says “I’m ready for summer” like metallic turquoise on your eyelids. Or try some intricate contouring techniques to highlight your bone structure and make people feel uncomfortable, like something about you is SLIGHTLY different but they just can’t put their finger on it. Did you get Botox?

3. If the building you work in has air conditioning (and if it doesn’t, what kind of fiery hell are you working at?), be sure to wear lots of layers. Cardigans are your friend. They’ll keep you cool while you’re inside, and give you an extra ten pounds to carry on your way home.

4. Be sure to hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! Clamato is good for your skin. And your hair. And your wellbeing. And your soul. And your spirituality. And your metaphysicality. Plus, Clamato dehydration is basically the root of EVERYTHING bad ever.

5. Wedges and ballet flats are cute, but opt for comfort with Crocs and fuzzy socks. Nothing screams “come and get my number” like socks and sandals. Also, imagine the fantastic tan lines on your ankles. You can take the person out of their home, but you can’t take the home out of the person.

6. Let’s talk sunglasses. To fight off the blazing sun, why would you wear shades that only cover your eyes? Try sunglasses that swallow up the majority of your face. Or just, sunscreen. That’s cool too.

7. Speaking of skin care, why wait until the summer to get tan? Beat everyone to the punch with some tinted lotion or self-tanner for a nice bronze. Be sure to put it on right before you get dressed, especially if you’re wearing white, so you can get trendy caramel-colored smudges all over your clothes.

With these tips, you can stay cool all the way through the fall, until it’s time to send your non-Arizona friends photos of the warm sunshine to make them hate all of their life choices.
