Hot summer outfit in style of late 1960s with real vintage mod shift dress & bucket hat

To my regret, since the first half of May began over 30 °C, and from the middle of May, unbearable heat (over 40°C), stuffiness and a burning desert wind have been raging in Spain.

This allows you to combine it, depending on the mood, with both red and brown accessories, as in this look.
