What summer clothes do you want?

Anybody have anything they're dying for to wear this summer?

I'm obsessed with drapey shorts...just bought a pair from Old Navy, ordered more from there this AM and some from ASOS. I will not be hot this summer dammit.

Re: What summer clothes do you want?

  • I'd like to get a couple fun sundresses. I got a maxi dress last summer and looved how easy it was to throw on, how comfy it was, yet how "cute" I looked...or at least felt compared to my usual T-shirt and shorts wearing ways. :-P

    I want to get some maxi dresses.  I'm super obsessed with maxi skirts.  I heard them described as "crotchless yoga pants".  :)

  • maxi dresses.  I'm really picky about the style and patterns on maxi dresses so its taking me awhile to find some I like.

    I haven't worn shorts in public for over 7 years. This year, I plan to buy a few pairs and be comfortable wearing them outside of our house.
  • I want to buy cute new clothes, but I don't want to spend too much on them since I'm still losing weight. I guess I'll just get by on TJ Maxx and Ross this summer.
  • Why @auroraloo? They can be very flattering, especially when you have weight you want to lose.

    I hate maxi dresses and skirts. I will always hate them.

    I'm with you. I never feel comfortable in them. Plus I hate feeling my thighs rubbing together.
  • Drapey shorts? Link? I usually do skirts and dresses since I hate shorts. This summer I want to try some maxi skirts/dresses

  • I think I may actually buy shorts for the first time in 15 years. I always like how I look in dresses better but Drew is crazy active and I don't need to flash the world lol! I want to love maxi dresses, but they make me look shorter and chubbier than I already am. I keep trying them on hoping and never like how they look on me even though they look awesome on most people.

    See, I should be wanting smaller clothes but really I just want cute stuff that fits me now. I refuse to look bad until I get around to the size I want to be! No more!
    I agree and a new flattering outfit, not matter the size, always makes me feel better and gives me a confidence boost.  Wearing my old fat clothes will not make me feel good about myself and might even prevent me from losing more weight really.
  • I was at Old Navy this weekend and bought this dress and love it.  I find ON hit or miss and this year they have a lot of things that I like.  Flowy shirts like this.  


  • I'm due July 31st, so anything that fits would be nice...

    I've been living in the one maxi dress I own the last few days, and it's not even maternity. I wouldn't mind stocking up on some more of those and plenty of skirts and tank tops. Also, I need some cheap-ass flip flops. My cute sandals aren't cutting it anymore (Unless we're counting the cutting they do into my swollen feet HEY-OH).

    I want to buy at least one skirt. I haven't decided if I'll do a maxi skirt or not.

    I would like a maxi skirt and I need a couple pair of shorts. I bought a couple pair last week but need a couple more. Nothing from last year fits. I also need some cute short sleeve shirts/tank tops.

  • I just received some linen shorts and a skirt from Old Navy in the mail yesterday.  These and this
    And I bought some crochet Toms from zulily a few months ago. Now I need a few basic tanks and tops and a few sundresses. I don't like maxis on myself either--at 5'1" and having a large chest, undefined waist and short legs I feel like I look like a shapeless lump!

  • Dresses!  I've never been into them before, hated them.  This summer I've found SUPER flattering dresses that I adore and they make me feel really good. I bought a few, I'd love a few more.

  • @magentawarped‌ you can wear shorts under a maxi dress/skirt and no-one will know. I did it all the time last summer ;)

  • I hate pants/shorts and I spend a lot of time with DS on the floor, so maxis it is. I really want some short sleeve maxi dresses, but I'm having a hard time finding some that I like.
