Summer Style for Mamas

Sunday, June 24, 2018
These past 16 months have been the best of my life! A week after my last post, little man came into the world and the Mr. and I have been changed for the better. These days, I'm busy chasing a toddler around and finally feeling like I'm maybe-sorta-kinda getting the hang of this thing called parenting. One of the biggest changes that came with having a child is the way I dress and the way I view clothing in general!

While like most other 20-30 somethings, I appreciate all the cute trendy styles that all my favorite fashion bloggers wear. As a new mom, I've curated a wardrobe that incorporates some trendy cute styles ensuring they are also versatile, affordable and comfortable. If you are like me and nodding your head and thinking yes! then check out some of these options I've been keeping on heavy rotation in my closet these days (which happens to be the most condensed it's ever been, but that's another story for another day!)


1. Black relaxed tee - I could live in these basic tees! I've got several in my arsenal in neutrals as wells as a few colors. They are super easy to mix and match to create endless outfit options!

2. Striped tee - Super cute and comfy! Love love love it.

3. Sunnies - A pair of cat eye sunnies is a great way to elevate a mom uniform to something a little more #extra.

4. Texture spray - Let's face it. We can all appreciate the power of a good dry shampoo but as a new mom, this stuff has become a true lifesaver. I love that this one also adds volume and texture! (It also has a nice light coconut scent!)

5. Summer jeans - Y'all. I finally bought my first pair of Madewell jeans and I'm obsessed. I wear them probably 5 times a week! Get your regular size -- they may be a tiny bit snug at first but they will quickly stretch out just a little to fit you perfectly. Love the flattering high waist on these!

6. Earrings - Another great way to elevate basics is to add fun statement earrings. I am super into the bright red fringe on these! So festive for summer.

7. Shorts - These are high waisted but far from "Mom shorts." The neutral stripes are perfect to pair with solid tees in virtually any color. These come in a pretty charcoal gray stripe as well!

8. Dress - In the summertime, I am all about throw on and go breezy basics. This sleeveless shift is a must and is so easy to change up with different jewelry and shoes to create new looks.

9. Pouch - Who says baby supply carrying pouches have to be boring? This fun leopard print pouch would be a great way to contain diapers/wipes, pacifiers, travel size diaper cream, etc and throw in your purse for weekend errands. So chic!

10. Red swimmie - I love that one pieces are so in right now! This one is perfect for mamas that want something a little spicier than a basic black swimsuit. The side cut outs add just the right amount of interest without being overly revealing.

11. Sandals - These affordable sandals are also comfy and a great basic shoe to pair with just about any outfit! They are slightly dressier than flip flops but just as easy to throw on and chase a baby all day in.

12. Romper - This romper is another fantastic, chic number to add to your mama wardrobe! I love the olive green color. Dress it up with wedges and fun jewelry or keep it simple with flat sandals (see #11!)
