Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.

Rules…

  1. Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
  2. Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
  3. Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
  4. No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
  5. New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

Y'all it's bout to be 100 degrees all next week where I am. My ideal temp is between 60-70 so I'm wilting at the thought.

I love love love layers and accessories, but that is difficult right now. So here's what I've got:

  • loose, open, light-colored cotton tops that can be worn over a tank top.
  • hats that allow ventilation but keep the sun out of your eyes.
  • lightweight jewelry can be layered.
  • I don't step outside in any degree weather without sunglasses.
  • if you're pulling your hair up, there are all kinds of bows and scarves that will add interest without adding insulation.

If anyone has tips for staying fashionable in the extreme heat, I'd love to hear them!

  • Use sunscreen if you need it, skin-cancer isn't sexy
  • Protect those eyeballs, seriously
  • ORT: Nothing sexier than staying hydrated
  • You don't need to stay outside, unless you need to stay outside, in which case see above
  • Protect your hair, if you have it - or your head, if you don't. Certain materials breathe, and others trap heat.
  • Pay attention to your body. I once bombed out from heat during an activity, and didn't realize until I was already sick. You don't need exuberance in heat, you can just chill.

I am not fashionable anymore, so I really don't have much else to say. I used to be. I have found holding subtle confidence, you could wear just about anything and still look fine. The power is inside you, and the accessories are just an extension of that eye.
