Do you sometimes wonder how you can feel cool yet look classy when it’s hot? I found the answer long ago in the book: Hot Tips: 1000 Fashion and Beauty Tricks by Frances Patiky Stein. In the “Summer Tricks” section of the book, she tells how to make an instant summer suit. I’ve used this outfit idea dozens of times when I was working and it kept me cool while being office-appropriate. Although this won’t work for a very conservative corporate environment where an actual suit is required, it’s useful in many other ways. You can put together your own suit from cool separates where the dress codes is not so strict as well as for business evenings, business travel, city day meetings and events and even business in country settings. Age doesn’t matter at all!
First I’ll give you the trick as presented by Stein in her book. Then I’ll tell you how I used it myself and how this outfit combination can be adapted to different occasions. This post is an installment in my Style Tips category.
Timeless fashion advice that is still helpful to this day!

Do you have clothes that are too skimpy, too tight, too short or too revealing for you to feel good wearing them? You don’t have to wear them out in public the way they are, yet you don’t have to get rid of them. You could, however, wear them at home with your significant other! 😉 But today I’ll share tips with you on how to be more modest in absolutely anything body conscious so you can go out anywhere, anytime in comfort and confidence. Then just have fun and enjoy yourself!
Age doesn’t matter. There are ways to wear body-conscious clothing (or bodycon, for short) that can make them perfectly presentable. If you let a little of your most beautiful self peek out and add something to cover the rest, you’ve got it down!
So let’s get started on exploring the ways to wear bodycon and then come up with some outfit ideas.
I was walking in the woods with my friend one day and she began to talk about her feet. (Maybe they were starting to get tired from the hike?) She went on to say how she was working hard to protect against fungal infections. She wanted to find something that worked, and said I should do a blog post on it sometime.
So I told her about the time I went to a podiatrist and he was raving about a new invention!
My son, Chris, and I have been making health goals together each month for years. I wrote about our experiences with this in my Health Goal Diary here on the blog. It has made a big difference in our health habits, especially with diet and exercise.
It has been beneficial to both of us. Age doesn’t matter. Besides keeping us healthy, it has kept our weight down and made us look our best.
We took a break when the weather got cold in the fall and the holidays rolled around. We got busy, sick, and then surrounded by holiday feasts and goodies.
When we decided to take a break from making health goals, we had a conversation about how overwork was taking a toll on us. Self care was lost in the shuffle and we needed to find time for ourselves and our needs. It was a goal that has not been easy to achieve.
Intending to think about what I needed to do to make time for myself, I dove right back into my work and never gave it another thought. So I’m taking a moment in writing this post about self care to explore what I need to do that I haven’t been doing all this time. I’m hoping this will be helpful to you as well.
Included is:
What happens when we don’t make time for ourselves?
Personal examples, both unsuccessful and successful.
The basics of self care.
Self-care tips based on specific needs.
20 general self-care tips.
As you read on, you’ll find more and more helpful information beyond what you might already think of, which I hope will inspire you with some helpful ideas.
