The Best Activewear Dresses for Summer 2023

May 30, 2023 · In: Fitness, Lilly Pulitzer, Spring & Summer

Summer is officially here! I don’t know about you, but my wardrobe is certainly not ready for summer this year… I’ve been trying to elevate my activewear/loungewear closet because leggings and a baggy tee just don’t cut it to run errands in during the summer. I’ve been experimenting with tennis skirts since summer 2021, and now tennis dresses are becoming just as popular and I am loving it! They’re easy to wear, practical, and they look like you put in effort when you really didn’t.

So no matter where you’re heading this summer – the pickleball court, an amusement park, the beach, or just running errands – here are activewear dresses you need to check out.

From Old Navy – $59.99

I recently snagged this dress from Old Navy and it is great, especially for the price! It has built-in shorts, padding in the bra, and I love the little cut out details. Plus it comes in a few different colors.

From J.Crew Factory – $54.99

If you’re looking for a fun printed option, this one from J.Crew Factory is so fun! It has built in shorts with pockets, and from what the reviews say I believe it has a built in bra as well.

From Addison Bay – $168

If you’re looking for a high quality piece that will last you for years, consider Addison Bay! These do not come with shorts, but if you’re like me and may need a longer short to layer, this is perfect to mix and match with your favorite spandex short.

From Lululemon – $148

If you know me, you know I’m a big Lululemon girl! I think their pieces are just amazing quality and the align tank is actually my favorite workout top – so I’m excited to see it in a dress. While it is definitely an investment I know you won’t be disappointed. This has a built-in bra and built in shorts.

From Amazon – $40

I recently showed this on Instagram and y’all loved it! The scalloped details are so cute, it comes in tons of colors, and it’s very flattering. I would prefer the shorts it comes with to be a tad longer – but I do like that the shorts are separate from the dress itself. It makes trips to the bathroom easier – and you can easily switch out the shorts. It comes in tons of colors as well!

From Lilly Pulitzer – $178

Lilly always makes extremely flattering activewear in my opinion. This dress has removable cups and undershorts, plus the collar makes it appropriate for many golf courses. This style is also available in different colors/prints right now.

The Summer I Went Through Fertility Treatment🤍 The Summer I Went Through Fertility Treatment🤍

No, I’m not pregnant. Yet🤞🏼
I’m finally ready to share what my world and entailed the past year or so. 

We got married in 2021 and like many couples decided to wait a few years before trying to have a baby. 2 years passed and we decided we were ready. Little did we know that would start a journey filled with heartbreak and frustration. 

A year came and went - no positive tests. So the obsession started; tracking ovulation, supplements, bloodwork. You name it - I’ve probably tried it! I went to my gynecologist and got put on a dreaded waiting list for an HSG. 5 months later no call back. So I decided to call a fertility clinic in January 2025, they saw me two days later. 

With a fabulous team of doctors, NPs, PAs, and nurses I got to where I am now. I have no diagnosis, and neither does my husband - bloodwork good, egg quality amazing, no cysts, fallopian tubes functioning, etc. On paper I’m good and still a mystery!

We opted for 3 rounds of IUI’s, all unsuccessful and traumatizing. So onto IVF. 

I’ve spent my last few weeks getting injection after injection, so much bloodwork, so many ultrasounds. And today we went do Maryland for an egg retrieval. 

This was not the summer I was imagining, but I’m so beyond thankful I was able to have this journey (and also get most of it paid by insurance😉). So now we wait on our 17 mature eggs🙏🏼 

I will likely keep my embryo transfer journey private until I have a confirmed pregnancy. But getting all of this off my chest I feel comfortable to post and share again🫶🏼

If you are going through an infertility journey - whether it’s been short or long. I pray for you. I grieve for you. I am you! My heart breaks for you.

Unhelpful and hurtful comments will be deleted. 🚫“just relax!” “get drunk” “it’ll happen when you least expect it!”🚫 

A special thank you to my handful of friends who have been my angels on earth this year. You know who you are✨
