It's a little toasty, indeed. To be specific… our faces are melting off. Maybe that's a little dramatic, but here are a few outfits that still work in the hot hot heat…
I love wearing jersey in the summertime. I have a bunch of easy dresses, skirts and tank tops to mix and match. I love fabrics that breathe and don't stick to my skin when the weather heats up. This sheer top is nice and airy.
Elsie's Wearing: Sheer Top/TopShop, High Low Skirt/Alternative Apparel, Wedges c/o BC Footwear, Circle Sunnies/Target, Rope Belt/Vintage (DIY coming soon- we love this belt!)
Emma avoids layers in the summertime. Most days she wears cut off shorts or an easy dress. She's a fan of backless cuts and knee length skirts.
Emma's Wearing: Dress c/o Jarlo, Prescription Glasses c/o Bonlook, Shoes c/o Lotta.

It kills me how stylish you two are! All the time! Love these outfits… I have such a hard time trying to dress cute when it’s so hot outside, especially keeping my hair looking nice in the heat. Do you have any tips for keeping your hair looking good when it’s so hot outside?

You girls are entirely too cute, even when it’s scorching hot out! Makes me want to get gussied up & go for a walk in the sunshine. 😉

Lauren, I have curly/frizzy hair so when it’s hot out I wear it up most of the time to control it… Not really a tip, but the truth! Counting down till Autumn… haha 🙂
I love all the cute black and white photos before the outfits, too cute! It is super hot here in Washington State too!

I love that sheer striped top! I’m such a sucker for stripes. It’s pretty warm here in MA, too. I’ve been sticking to shorts and tank tops
Good outfits!

Love Elsie’s look everything from the striped top to the red hi-lo skirt (which I’ve become increasingly obsessed with since spring). Both of you look lovely!
I love both your girls choices of eye wear! So fantastically feminine. Emma, I adore your sweet sundress. The small knot in the belt is perfection!
I just love your red skirt – the whole outfit is great. I’ve been wanting to get a pair of Lotta shoes, are they comfy?
I know about the face melting off stuff. I’m a Missouri girl too. It’s been 90’s this week and after it was in the 100’s last week, it made it seem like a spring day.

I think I’m with Emma on this one. I walk to and from work, and I feel like if I wore layers, I’d be so hot by the time I reached my destination, I’d end up in my skivvies, haha!

I love Elsie’s outfit! I really want a top like that, but sadly TopShop is not in my budget 🙁
Elsie I love your sunglasses. I am such a fan of round glasses and big round sunglasses. I also love both of your outfits, especially the high/low RED skirt. And you are not overstating the situation in southwest Missouri. It is a miserably, hot and humid summer in MO. Thank God for AC!
Elsie, I love your skirt it’s so cute and perfect for summer. Oh and I agree 100 percent with your hair “tip”, putting up curly hair is the only way to control it in the sweltering heat.
Oh I love your outfit Elsie 🙂
I love that red skirt, short in front and long in back… you can keep cool and your legs wont stick to the seats! Practical and stylish, lol
Can we swap?! It’s miserable in England!! Looking stylish as always, girls.

I love your sunglasses!
Those black and white glasses photos are so sweet! Love the outfits. I tend to wear a lot of jersey and sheers during the summer too, it’s just too hot otherwise.
Ooooh, I love Elsie’s shoes! Do they fit true to size?
Gorgeous!
Both looks are delightful and breezy looking- a must in summer!
I like the black and white photo’s! They’re so full of energy! 🙂
Love your sister style! Yes it is triple digits here in Southern California. Flowy skirts and tanks all the way!!

Q: I love Elsie’s shoes! Do they fit true to size?
A: Yes!
If only we had had a summer in England this year! My summer clothes haven’t even had an opportunity to come out of the wardrobe 🙁

Emma’s tattoo is the cutest!
Such a smart post! I see girls wearing blazers in their outfit posts and i think, “how is that possible?” I’m southern. You’re lucky if I’m wearing clothes at all!

Emma, your dress is too cute!!
If it’s that hot, how do both of you keep your hair looking dry and perfect? My bangs look all disgustingly sweaty and matted to my head when it’s real hot out.
I love dresses in the summer. I hate girls shorts because they ride up between my legs. I love that red skirt!!! I love the mid to maxi lengths 🙂
i love both outfits! love the skirt!

Love the looks!
It is really heating over here too in Greece.
Effortless stylish! I love the way you girls dress.

Oh gosh I feel you. It’s broiling here. But yay for keeping stylish in hot weather! Skirts and dresses are fantastic nowadays…
That dress is amazing! The pattern is mesmerizing. *_*

i love shorts for hot days!

It’s been so so hot lately…
Love Emma’s dress and hair! 🙂
so beautiful, and the black and white faces are so damn cute!
I prefer the name “hi-lo” skirt, in Australia they tend to be called a mullet dress/skirt after the hairstyle, and then it doesn’t sound very pretty to wear, a hi-lo skirt on the other had does sound nice.
Adorable as always.
Awesome skirt Elsie! You ladies are looking stylish as usual 😉

Massive love for your sunglasses…
http://ohmyolivia.blogspot.co.uk/ <3
I live in the desert – Las Vegas, to be exact. It’s basically too hot to leave the house, especially this week.
I can’t believe you got those sunglasses from Target! I was scroling down to see what chic online store you bought them from and I was a little surprised!
Stay cool!
So, So cute ladies!! Elsie, how do you keep your bangs so perfect in the summer? I’ve had to let mine grow out because they just kept turning into a sweaty mop on my forehead 🙁

i want to steal emmas shoes! they are so cute!
Lovely outfit !
I never know what to wear when it’s hot, and this sister style gives me some great examples. Thank you girls !
Love it!!
Lovely pics both both of you. And Emma – I love your dress!!
Such great outfits, ladies!
Hair up in the summer is what does the trick for me also, Elsie.
Also, I’ve noticed a couple of questions in the comments about how to deal with bangs in the summer time, and all I can say is dry shampoo is a life saver!
I obviously don’t know what works for Elsie but…I live in Austin, Texas and I simply could not have bangs in the summer here if it weren’t for dry shampoo.
