Despite being a pretty big slut, I am uncomfortable revealing too much on top in thin-strapped summer dresses. Can you provide me with some options of very lightweight, short-sleeved summer cardigans that I can toss over a sundress just so I don't feel like everybody on the street/subway is leching on me?

I'm glad you sent this in because I'm also in need of some lightweight coverage for the summer months. I found a couple great options that will keep you looking cute even through the grossest weather and humidity. I usually carry one in my bag at all times, especially since the nights tend to get a little chilly. Another great option is to wear a lightweight scarf around your neck, covering your cleavage but leaving the rest of you free of another layer.
The cut of this cardigan makes it the best option for your dilemma. It's linen so it's perfect for warm weather and the cape-inspired design is fitted without hugging the body so it allows for further breeziness.
Here's a classic style with a thick banded cuff that creates a little puff sleeve. The best part about this style is that it comes in a million bright colors and at that price, you can get one of each to match all your beautiful dresses.
Another great option is a little lace cardigan. It's light, travels easy and adds a bit of girly-ness to your look which is nice, especially when the weather is so hot that you've stopped feeling like a human being at all. PLUS your tattoos will look amazing through the sheer fabric, Emily.
