I love how bike shorts make any dress instantly more mobile. Wore this to Poste (excellent cocktail and cheese selection, btw) on Friday for a friend’s bday and could not have been more comfortable.
Also, Delectable Swank featured me as her Delectable Blog of the Week. Check it out!

I love the print on the dress and it was clever to put biking shorts underneath so you don't have to ever worry about overexposure!

That's a great tactic, I have some biker shorts I haven't used in ages, but thanks to your great idea I think I'll be putting them to use for something other than sport 🙂
Kristiane
The biker shorts are perfect for everything, especially at this time of summer, as its getting colder.. nice colour at the dress!

I love the biker shorts! They are super cute with your shirt.
And I knowww, school appropriate and work appropriate is difficult when I want to wear something crazy and random. Oh well, wear it anyway right? :]

Fashion Court
confession: i found a pair of shorts similar to that which fit under some of the longer dresses i have.
i always feel like i'm hiding a huge secret when i wear them under my dresses, so comfy 😛

you have an amazing sense of style — the addition of the biker shorts up the playfulness of the outfit. and the color/pattern are just gorgeous!
xo.

that dress is everything i want in a dress. the bright color (in my favorite hue of course) with the killer black pattern,with the fitted body, and the quarter length sleeves. loves it!
i just realized that i've been wearing the biker shorts for a while now, since what? three years ago i think. i wear them for the same reason you posted: mobility. cept i always rolled them up and never below the hems of my dresses.
and btw: yeah those shoes are stellar. the steel toes at the very tip of em are a excellent touch
