As a mom of 2, I like to make getting dressed in t As a mom of 2, I like to make getting dressed in the summer super easy! These staples from @onequince are always in my summer wardrobe.

A wear-anywhere dress is a must for me! Something that can be dressed up or down and worn for almost any occasion. This gauzy gingham dress checks that box perfectly 👗

An athletic dress is my favorite throw-on-and-go piece for summer, especially on hot days. I love the style and quality of this one 🏃‍♀️

And I always need a good go-to black one-piece swimsuit. This one is exactly my style 🖤

Let me know in the comments if any of these are your summer staples too! ✨

I want to normalize that not everyone goes on vacation for spring break. Our family typically avoids traveling during the most expensive times of the year to travel, so spring break is spent locally. 

It was actually a really nice week! We had some fun times together! Here’s what I wore!
