Hot weather = Grumpy

[Jmangel]

I always feel like this at start of summer weather - no idea what to wear, worried about tummy, what shoes, state of feet (!!), have to start doing fake tan (I'm as white as a ghost and never tan), plus skin gets really oily. Some women just make summer dressing look effortless - it takes a good month or so to get me in my summer stride and I'm feeling grumpy today and just want to stay indoors with curtains closed! Just me?

Me!!!

Much prefer a/w clothes. Dark colours. Layers. Boots. TIGHTS!!

They make it look effortless, but they put the time in - pedicure/wax/exfoliation/tanning products. I assume they shop early in the season for summer clothes too, or get their last year's clothes out and sorted early.

I love the warmer weather. I don't worry about the colour of my legs, just make sure they are shaved. I will be painting my toenails tonight and I've been exfoliating and then moisturising my arms for a few weeks so they look fine too.

I love autumn and winter dressing but I love the sun and warmth too much to stress about having white legs etc. I don't understand the current obsession with fake tan and women feeling their natural colour is unacceptable.
