Midi length dresses are my go-to during the summer and this midi dress with short sleeves is perfect.

When it’s so hot outside, I don’t want layers or denim, but I also want to feel covered up when I’m running and playing with my boys — even when I’m at home. I want to be able to sit on the ground, or lay on the couch and feel comfortable and covered.

And also I’d rather not flash anyone when I bend over at the park, thanks very much. So a midi length dress with short sleeves is a perfect mom uniform for me during the summer.

THIS RED MIDI DRESS matches all my criteria. Plus it’s UNDER $40!

If you want some ideas of how to wear a bandana in your hair, I wrote a post about it HERE, with 8 different ways, including how to wear a bandana with your hair down, like I did in these photos above.

It’s a simple trick to make your outfit feel complete.

Finish your midi dress outfit with simple accessories.

Since this red midi dress is so bold, you can keep the rest of your outfit simple. I chose some BROWN LEATHER SANDALS, a LARGE TOTE BAG, and only a LEATHER BAND WATCH on my wrist.
