I love talking summer fashion. Summer is my favorite season, so it’s easier for me to fall in love with all of the trends and styles.
I recently posed the question if anyone had any summer fashion ideas for me to address — this one came from one of my all-time favorite bloggers –
I’ve been doing sundresses with leggings under them. After having a baby none of last years summer clothes fit so I’ve been trying this. I’d love to hear your thoughts.
I think the look of a sundress with leggings is a very hip and chic look. It’s a fantastic way to feel comfortable and fashionable at the same time… especially after having a baby.
My advice when looking for dresses to wear with leggings is that you find dresses that don’t cling and won’t show through to the leggings. The best kinds of dresses with leggings are A-line style dresses with empire cuts, shift dresses, sack dresses and shirt dresses. These dresses flow with the leggings, they aren’t too tight and constricting.
Here are 3 examples of dresses with leggings that are working.
Thanks for the great question! For any woman out there… with any body type, dresses with leggings is a fabulous option to try out.




I do this!!
I use it as a trick to extend the life of sundresses that have gotten a little shorter over the winter. You know, because of the DRYER – obviously.
I’ve been doing this lately too, and I got compliments! It’s very slimming, actually, and I feel less conscious about the length of the dress and my highway basketweave varicose veins.
Sorry, TMI….
And I said I’d never do leggings again, sheesh!
