Work, school, work and school reign as my priorities. As such, painting the town red, dancing and writing blog posts now reside on the back burner. No need to worry, though – back burners can turn just as hot as those in the front!

And with that, I turn up the heat on today’s post. What’s the topic? Looking hot throughout the day, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., while the hot sun above burns the sweat collecting at your temples. Just look how oily my face looks in this photo…

Me wearing an H&M top, Zara shorts and shoes you’ve seen plenty times before. Oh, and a very worn out bag from Zara as well.

Today, I wore an H&M crew neck T-shirt featuring stripes upon stripes. A variety of colors provide a welcomed pop, while stripes of various thicknesses draw in the eye. To capitalize on an eye-catching look, I slipped on some thigh-length shorts. Jersey shorts, to be exact. Do you spot a trend? Yes, but alas, the key to looking stylish does not rest in being trendy – it rests in wearing what works for you. And thankfully, in my case, these lil’ shorts seem to work well with my legs.

My arms and neck were bare, since I woke up late and time ran short while getting ready this morning. I don’t mind, though, because today I let my body and prints do the talking. Remember, a timeless, effortless looks means wearing what works best with you and your day’s duties. Running around campus throughout the day called for a comfortable approach.

‘Til next time, my friends!
