There’s a cute little test I like to do when I’m trying out new clothes these days. I call it the, “Can I Squat Down At The Playground Without Flashing The Nannies” test and it has saved me from many online shopping regrets over the years.
I’ve been looking for midi-length dresses that let me feel covered enough to run after my kids in public but that aren’t too conservative. I’m a mom that loves a cut-out; give me a corset top or one-shouldered anything and I’m obsessed!
With that in mind, I thought I’d share a few dresses I either bought or I’m strongly considering for summer (maybe you’ll convince me to give them a go)…
