Help me dress to impress

flippyshark · 07-26-2010, 04:28 PM

One of my resolutions this year has been to get out of my shell a little more and socialize. I've been doing pretty good, for me, anyway. Back when the weather was cooler, I was getting lots of compliments on the jackets and fedoras. (I think a lot of the good reviews were from people just stunned that I was actually trying, instead of being my usual wallflower self.) Anyway, I like the attention. And pretty people talk to me. It's keen. But here's my problem. It's freakin' sweltering here in Florida, and I have a couple of social events coming up. Jackets seem not only silly but downright painful to contemplate. So, how does a 45 y.o. schlub create a late summer look that is cheap but charming? I'm counting on your assembled wisdom. (I have no fashion sense of my own whatsoever.)
