Yeah, this is really bad advice. Summer dresses are super easy. Joggers and linen pants aren't.

Tuckernuck for summer dresses.

Disagree. An outfit like this is polished and cute, and doesn't appear to be trying too hard:

A model ad pic is those pants under their absolute best conditions and they look far from polished.

Pick out a few things you like that make you feel good and then totally ignore this mofo.

This seems like an obvious place for a cut direct. Maybe with sunglasses on so she can't see you are stressed.

Any suggestions for good casual summer dresses? I do think dresses or skirts are the way to go in terms of looking a little more pulled together, but I don't own many. Would love weather-appropriate suggestions.

Was looking at some knee length cotton dresses at JCrew that look cute but was thinking it would be good to wear a pair of bike shorts underneath, so if anyone has recommendations for those, lmk. Since I'm hauling kids around, I want to be practical.

I wear old navy bike shorts under all my dresses! Even formal ones.

I wear Jockey skimmies/slip shorts

First of all, I'm so sorry that happened to you. That says a lot more about her than you!

It may be hard to believe, but Lily Pulitzer has some beautiful summer dresses that are for such a great price on Poshmark. What is your size? I wear them running around with sandals as they are really comfortable, but they look put together:

Focus on affirming yourself, either through journaling, affirmations, or talking to a supportive friend.

People like this can pick you apart even if you look perfect.

And they will - you won't win, OP. Just ignore her.

Cute but too dressy for running around imo.

I like this but the belt and sandals are necessary to elevate. Untucked and/or frumpy shoes, and it's unflattering. Since OP is slender, bet it would look cute.

OP I don't know you but you sound lovely. To hell with that creature who bullied you

Quince has some cute casual tee dresses.

OP - I am SO SORRY that person did that to you and that you now have to see her again.

What sorts of clothes do you feel good in? Are there any outfits you like? Do you tend toward more casual or more dressy - and do you feel better one way or another?

Any celebrities or influencers whose style you like?

If this bully story is true, I can only hope you called this woman out for her rude behavior. And, I am also praying she has 20 extra pounds of Covid weight on her and please comment on that to her.
