Escape from the heat

The heat wave has been brutal. The temperature is constantly around 33-35 °C and with the humidity, it feels like around 40°C!!!!!! Never thought that Canada can be that hot & humid.... 

So with no air conditioning, I just can't stay at home all day long. Just like any other "normal" person, my first resort is to go shopping. Honestly, I really don't have anything specific in mind, but here I present you the fitting room: 

Awwww, this dress is just so ME. 

I can never get tired of neutral. 

Now there is only one problem, the back is slightly low-cut (which is very pretty) and I just don't know what to wear underneath (which is why I can't even show you because I am obviously not wearing appropriate "garment"). 

I would really appreciate if any of you girls (or guys I suppose) know the solution to it because I do like this dress a lot! 

This kind of weather is not doing any good to my wallet. Luckily, the heat has gone down a bit today and I can finally feel some breeze. The question is, would this stop a shopaholic from shopping? Yesterday I spent all day clearing my wardrobe and I have two bags of clothes to donate. I feel like I have more closet and hanger space now, however, I really want to try to keep it this way. I just can't imagine when I am going to move and need to pack all the clothes...... 

Or, I will say, I am gonna try to only invest in quality pieces. =) 

p.s. In case you are wondering, I found this dress at Winners. 

Inside the Fitting Room

Of course when I'm supposed to study, I want to blog! =S
Ok, let's make this short & sweet! I tried on these two dresses about a month ago in H&M -

 

Left: from the H&M DIVIDED line; it fits pretty nicely and comfortable to wear, not too sheer, don't have to wear a tank top or cami underneath, but it is a tiny tiny tiny little bit too short for my liking. 

Right: a very bright yellow colour, comes with the belt; quite sheer materials, I need to wear a cami underneath, longer than the dress on the left. 

Only one went home with me...... 

I am usually not a fan of such bright colour, especially bright yellow. I just didn't think I could pull off the look.  

But I am drawn into this dress (almost immediately). 

I think the materials and the cut made the dress super appropriate for this Spring/Summer season. And pair it up with a leather (faux) jacket + chunky circle scarf + black stocking? It works for the still-chilly weather here in Canada. ;) 

I really can't wait for the weather to WARM UP here!!! But for now, I just have to go back to the pile of notes/articles/books.
