By Kelly Newell at Scout: Dry Goods & Trade   Okay. It's hot. Real real hot. I don't want wear anything, but of course I'll get arrested if I don't. This is my favorite outfit to wear in 100-degree-burn-your-butt-yes-you-are-sweating-and-it's-only-9am-outfit. Here are the ingredients for a great hot weather outfit...   The basics, I air dry my hair and then pull it up in a messy bun and add a cute lightweight scarf as a headband.

The skin will add just the right touch to an outfit, without...
