9 Affordable Effortless Summer Outfits

Summer is here and I am feeling very busy lately with life.  Nothing major is going on, it’s just keeping up with daily life that is getting me feeling like I don’t have time for very much.  Some days it’s difficult just to find time to shower and get ready for the day.  I really don’t have much energy to put into thinking about what to wear for the day, that’s why I’ve been keeping my outfits effortless this summer.

Casual Mom Summer Wardrobe Capsule

May 20, 2021 by Katie Haller

 

 
 Summer is all about slowing down and not taking life so seriously.  We all get out of our normal routine a little in the summertime.  Kids are out of school, there’s more vacations and we’re outside more often.  Our wardrobe usually shifts to the casual side.  I like to keep my summer outfits easy.  I don’t like to think about it, so it’s always nice to have a wardrobe full of casual summer staples.
  I’ve never done an actual wardrobe capsule on this blog, but I wanted to try it out.  That’s why I have put together a casual 21 piece mom-friendly summer wardrobe capsule.  These are all my summer essentials that will help you put together easy causal mom-friendly outfits.

Affordable Mom-Friendly Bathing Suits from Amazon

Affordable Mom-Friendly Bathing Suits on Amazon

 I’m not going to lie, I don’t love the idea of having pictures of myself in bathing suits floating around the internet, but I do love helping other women find affordable bathing suits that they will feel great in. This June my baby will be a year old which means my body will hit a year of being postpartum just in time for bathing suit season.  Although I don’t mind the mom body I have been left with after having 2 kids, there are still certain areas I’d feel more comfortable keeping covered up.  Read more

Affordable Mom-Friendly Denim Shorts

Affordable Mom-Friendly Denim Shorts

Denim shorts are an important wardrobe staple that I don’t think should be ignored.  I love denim shorts, but I’ve always struggled finding the right pair.  So many denim shorts in stores are made for teenagers and I’m defiantly not looking for the same fit of denim shorts I wore when I was younger.  I want something high waisted, not too short or too tight.  Something with distressing, but not too distressed.  I want one pair of denim shorts that I can wear with anything in my wardrobe.  I was thrilled that I was finally able to find that perfect pair of denim shorts.

Mom-Friendly Outfits Wearing White Jeans

Mom-Friendly Outfits Wearing White Jeans
Are you afraid to wear white?  As a mom, I totally get it!  I’m terrified of white.  I always spill something on myself whenever I wear white.  But I love white! Especially white jeans!  They just brighten up your whole outfit.  Even though I believe that white jeans are appropriate to wear year round, I really love to wear them in the spring. Read more

Fabletics Athleisure Outfit

Hi Friends! Last week I felt like I needed a little break from blogging.  I don’t know why, but I was feeling a little overwhelmed.  Normally I get excited to start a new month and plan out all my blog content, but this month I just wasn’t feeling it.  I’ve had a lot on my mind and my blog just needed to not be one of the things I was focusing on.  Sometimes that’s just what I need.  A short break to reset.  This week I’m refocusing and planning out some new posts for the month, so I hope you enjoy what I have coming up in the next few weeks.  I’m just trying to take it one post at a time and not overwhelm myself.  Read more
