Why wouldn't you wear this to work, it sounds great ?

It does, but maybe being a commuter wearing long skirts at stations isn't ideal.

I'm wearing a loose dress that M&S sell as beach wear but us great for house and garden wear too.

Indeed. The turquoise skirt is actually one of those - it doubles as a strapless dress if you want it for the beach, but you do have to keep hoiking it up to climb in and out of public transport (yes, I tried) and crucially, there are no pockets.

Also there is the problem of co-ordinated accessories. I could do it for this particular combo, but the shoes are a bit uncomfortable to wear all day. I really wish they'd make half sizes. The smaller size is a bit too tight, especially in hot weather, the larger size is a bit too big.

Currently in blue shorts and sleeveless T-shirt, my usual attire indoors in this hot weather. However I would not venture out in the street dressed like this, it would not be culturally appropriate where I am living and I don't want to attract either the attention or the assumptions! So if I go out I change into cropped trousers (so knees are covered) and T-shirt with sleeves (so that shoulders are covered). Even than I am significantly under dressed compared with many women here, but hey, I'm a foreigner so I can get away with it!

This is my standard summer work attire, for days that don't call for either dressing up or protective equipment.

Not quite sure what the fuss is about; apart from when walking over mountains I don't think I've needed a coat during the daytime for months.

People whine too much about the British weather. It's very seldom homicidal, unlike some parts of the world, only occasionally too cold (one or two days in winter - a few more north of the border I'll grant you) and only too hot for a few weeks around July and August.

Funny you should say that. When shopping yesterday there was in the clothes shop a white jacket which was pretty much identical to the one I had (and still have and yes, it still fits me ) for my going away outfit years ago - same length, same pockets, same material. I'm so up with the times.

We're expecting 28°, but feeling into the 30s with the humidity.

I'm wearing white cropped trousers and a loose, very lightweight charcoal-grey shirt.

In about 10 minutes, I'm going to have to abandon my air-conditioned office and brave the heat ...

D. was observing yesterday that people seem to be complaining far more about the heat than they did about the cold in the winter (and it was a long, cold winter). I reckon it's because when it's cold you can always put on another layer, but if it's very hot, there's a limit to what you can take off.

I'm sat here in my palest T-shirt and walking shorts. To be perfectly honest I dread to think what I look like.

We're up to 29° apparently, so shorts and a t-shirt, as usual.

It's the time and the weather and the mood for Les A Murray's The Dream of Wearing Shorts Forever

I never ever wear shorts, but I have the dream.

Me neither.

Now that I'm up, I am wearing a worn-out pair of black Adidas trousers suitable for sleeping and answering the door in an emergency with shortish black socks and a black Guinness shirt that I was wearing as an undershirt yesterday and thinking of wearing it to the local pub had I gone.

When I leave the house today, I shall be wearing a pair of Savane blue jeans which are cut with button rear pockets and hip pockets like normal trousers along with an old pair of white Nike Air shoes and white socks. I shall also be wearing my Laphroiag t-shirt and matching baseball-style cap that I sent away to Scotland for on my birthday.

My nightie. I've had a long hot day and am lying down in a darkened room.

A black, light cable knit top and black and white plaid, seersucker slacks. I love my seersuckers for summer, of which I have half a dozen; they are as airy as shorts, yet cover my chubby knees.

I'm currently visiting relatives in Australia, where it is quite cool. So, I'm wearing yellow shoes [no socks], blue jeggins, knee length black and white silk tunic and a navy and black long-line cardigan.

Since I'm actually getting properly dressed today - navy cotton voile maxi dress worn as a skirt (it's too small to wear as a dress, plus it's a halterneck and I find I'm too busty for them) with turquoise and green flowers on it, and a green cotton t-shirt. Bright pink flip-flops, and sunglasses with red, glittery, heart-shaped frames

That sounds so pretty! I feel very boring in comparison. Loose pink trousers and a purple tee shirt. White sandals. Minimum jewellery, even - this hot weather aggravates my sensitive skin and one of my bracelets sets my whole wrist aflame. Consequently I'm just wearing my watch and my wedding ring.

Nen - minimalist... in some things...

Brown woven knee length cotton sleeveless dress with a darker brown bamboo pattern. It has pleating over the bust and I think was supposed to be straight but someone has interested a triangle of another brown fabric in the back seam of the skirt so it's looser.

I think the whole things is handmade - I bought it off a woman at a local fair.

Worn with: lightweight mustard cropped cardy; gold strappy sandals (scroll down), African gold/bronze coloured metal bangles & dangly earrings. Plus a carved bone necklace.

Scrappy white cotton top and not-quite-so-scrappy red cotton three quarter length trousers. I'm off to mow the lawns.

Nen - hot already and hoping to get outdoor stuff done before it gets hotter.

Black maxi dress with bright floral print. I'm a frock person, by and large, but it's not always easy to find frocks which are breastfeeding compatible.

I'm wearing another homemade maxi dress, this one is pale green with red spotty teapots on.
