Today I’m wearing a marvelous mini dress for summer that has sporty vibes. I really loved the shape of this dress which is why I chose to add it to my Nuuly box. When I tried it on, it was showing a little too much skin for my taste. So what did I do? I became the boss of my clothes (a Jodie saying) by adding a bodysuit underneath. I think it works and almost looks like it’s part of the dress. Thoughts?

Sporty Black Mini Dress for Summer
It’s another Anthropologie dress that I couldn’t resist. I like that this one nods to athleisure wear. The A-line shape of the dress and the white trim remind me of tennis skirts. As I said up above, I struggled with the neckline and how it plunged. My trusty Spanx bodysuit has come to my rescue, again.
All summer I’ve been wearing color but I thought would change it up with all black. I normally don’t recommend wearing black sandals with most summer looks because it can be almost too dark. But this does work when you are already wearing all black like I am here.
Do you stay away from black during the summer?
Life Lately
It’s been a wonderful summer so far. My husband and I have been playing lots of pickle ball with our neighborhood friends. Austin went away for music camp at University of Illinois in Champaign-Urbana last week. Of course he loved it and kept telling me how he loved being on his own. Lol! He turned 18 this past Friday. He also made it into the top orchestra for the Chicago Youth Symphony Orchestra this upcoming year. I’m over the moon and kinda jealous because I really wanted to be in that orchestra when I was in high school. Evan has been working, practicing, and getting ready to finally get his own car which we will be picking up on our vacation in July.
How’s your summer going? Have a joyful and fun 4th of July week! XO
