I live in t-shirts, they're so comfy! Obviously I don't have any good advice for you. Maybe a maxi dress? It's long so you won't show any skin if the wind picks up, and it's more dressy than shorts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/playground-friendly-clothing#post-88942 Thu, 08 Mar 2012 07:44:42 +0000 Andrea 88942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: I agree! When I lived in London I basically retired all my summer clothing ... people don't wear shorts. </p> <p>Hmmm, during the summer time I usually wear capri leggings and a casual shirt when I am with the LO. </p> <p>For the pool, I haven't changed how I dress. But if you want to wear a rash guard plus board shorts, I don't think that is overkill. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/playground-friendly-clothing#post-88939 Thu, 08 Mar 2012 07:38:42 +0000 looch 88939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha, last summer DS was too little to go outside and play and before that, I worked full time and I wore dresses in the summer. I bought a pair of bermudas last year out of desperation, but they're way too casual for Europe. You don't see people wearing shorts and it doesn't get that hot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/playground-friendly-clothing#post-88934 Thu, 08 Mar 2012 07:34:16 +0000 heffalump 88934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How did you go this long without wearing shorts and t-shirts? I thought that was common mommy clothes. I would just wear a regular suit and reapply the sunscreen. You can't cover up your entire body, so you'd be reapplying on your face and legs anyway. Do you have the kind that sprays? Helps things go much quicker! </p> <p>@Crumbs: come to Florida. I'm in flip flops and a sundress and still sweat! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/playground-friendly-clothing#post-88919 Thu, 08 Mar 2012 06:33:46 +0000 looch 88919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha, it's not that warm yet!!!! We are still expecting snow this weekend, I just like to plan ahead! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/playground-friendly-clothing#post-88908 Thu, 08 Mar 2012 05:06:33 +0000 SugarplumsMom 88908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have nothing productive to contribute but I just have to say how jealous I am! Flip-flops ... outside ... sunscreen. It's snowing right now! ;( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/playground-friendly-clothing#post-88897 Thu, 08 Mar 2012 03:27:50 +0000 looch 88897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Now that our days include playing outside, I am finding that my usual outfits do not work. I need things that can be machine washed and dry fast. I also need things I can move in, so dainty skirts and dresses are out, because my son is a runner and I have to chase and lift him a lot. Footwear too, flip flops are out, I need a closed shoe that I could wear with little footie socks.</p> <p>I am also looking for recs for pool wear, I was thinking a rash guard and board shorts for days when we're outside at the pool, but does it look "too much?" I can't be worried about sunscreen reapplication and body part exposure!</p> <p>Help! </p>
