Andrea's It List: 7 wardrobe staples getting me through this heatwave

The key has been careful outfit planning around a few simple staples - flat shoes (I can’t do heels in this heat!) and light loose breathable items (think linen dresses and wide leg cotton trousers) that allow for some movement. Here are a few Spring looks I’ve relied on this week that are exactly that.
