Daily Look: It's a Scorcher

Like a whole lot of the country, we're in the midst of a heat wave. And no, I'm not just talking about summer, which, incidentally, officially started yesterday. We've been hitting or coming close to record highs day after day, and it's been one of the warmest Junes on record. While temperatures in the upper 90s are par for the course down in Texas, enjoying mild summers is supposed to be one of the perks of living in the Midwest. Unfortunately, this summer isn't being so kind. So today I opted for a breezy, sleeveless top and shorts, a simple yet effective combination.

How has summer been in your neck of the woods (to borrow a phrase from Al Roker)? What do you wear when you need to beat the heat?
