Sara for many years I avoided going out during the hot times of year. However this year I've had more opportunities to spend time traveling including fulltime weekends.
I learned to deal with the heat. I've put together a nice summer collection. Summer clothes are lighter and cooler, I wear jeans, skirts, tees and blouses. I don't use any excess shape wear, I'm happy with my figure.
As for makeup, I go easy on the complexion stuff and emphasize my features...eyes, brows, lips. And I tie my hair back.
I'm always close to air conditioning, be it the shopping centers, the car, truck, the RV, my home and indoors in general.
Of course I save the dresses and the rest for the evenings and cooler days. I've learned to manage the heat and it worked for me.
