Summer Styles & Sandals
Hi friend! Today’s the day! Last day of school for my daughter and we now officially have a 4th grader! I can’t believe my baby will be in 4th grade! Seems so grown up already! And next week, my son will be a Sophomore! That one really gets me!
I’m sending all you moms good energy to get through the rest of the school year and the start of summer as smoothly as possible! It’s a lot!

Summer Outfits
Size Reference: I’m petite, almost 5’1, weighing around 107 lbs. My true size in tops and dresses is XS or XSP and my jeans/pants size is 0P/25P.

I’m leaning into more yellow this summer, which is such a happy color. This top makes a statement with the puffed sleeves, sweetheart neckline and double keyhole ties. I also like the peplum shape because it gives you such a cute figure.
The jeans have been on repeat already since I’m so comfortable in this style. They are by Mother and have a high rise, cute patch pockets and wide ankle leg.
The lighter wash is great for this time of year and the denim is “stretch kissed” which means they comfortably hold their shape all day.

How fun are these heels?! Not gonna lie, I was a little worried about walking in them, but the chunky heel makes them easier to walk in.

This tank is also sunshiny cuteness in an easy breezy style. You can adjust the shoulder straps with little buttons in the back. The back also has a keyhole and flirty string tie.

This striped tank is by Madewell and so cute with the contrasting stripes. It’s got a higher neckline and lots of stretch in a ribbed knit.

Here’s more sunshine yellow for you in this v-neck sweater tank by Madewell. It’s a loose knit with a relaxed fit and wide arm holes, so I’m wearing an Amazon tank underneath.

I’ve already worn this outfit out on the weekend and felt great in it. The tank is a sweater style with contrast stitching at the top. The shorts are a little bit dressier style since they’re a linen blend with a high waist and button fly. They also have pockets.

You could dress the shorts up with this blouse by Madewell. It has statement shoulders and a Peter Pan collar with petite buttons down the front.

I think I prefer the top with a pair of jeans or pants to better balance out the puffy sleeves.
These are the Anthropologie Collette jeans, a cult favorite. They fit extremely well with a good bit of stretch, have a comfortable high waist and a wide crop leg.
They come in several different varieties and colors, including pants and delightful prints.

If you need a new pair of white jeans this summer, I’m crazy for this pair by Madewell. They are completely opaque, have a comfortable high waist and wide leg ankle length. They feel amazing on and go with everything!

The blouse is super lightweight, easy breezy, and great for work to weekend. It has a shirttail hem that you can wear tucked or untucked and feminine flutter sleeves.

Summer Sandals
Sandal season is definitely upon us, so get those pedicures ready! I ordered several styles to try . . .
Raffia Platform Heels • Stone Sandals • Raffia Buckle Sandals • Gladiator Sandals • Tortoise Buckle Sandal
I’ve already been wearing these sandals a ton. They’re very comfy and so sporty chic with the rope tie detail and that hint of blue and black.
They’re also easy to slip on and off your feet with the velcro heel strap that doesn’t rub or irritate at all. They’re also very well made and quite comfortable.
Nerissa Two Strap Platform Sandal
These woven birkenstock style sandals have a platform base so they’ll give you some height. I like that the straps have stretch to them and that you can adjust the buckle. But, they weren’t the most comfortable on my feet.
Sam Edelman Raye Gladiator Sandal
Gladiator style sandals are in again and this pair is adorable with the gold 0-rings and double straps. My feet felt great in these!
Sam Edelman Bay Stone Slide Sandal
This style of Sam Edelman sandal has been popular for years and for good reason. It’s a lovely, simple shape and you can get them in solids and different types of materials. I think the pearl embellishments on this pair are a fun, feminine touch and will elevate your outfit while keeping you in a comfy flat.
Sam Edelman Adrianna Two-Strap Sandal
I like how sporty chic these sandals are with the white rubber platform, but they look dressier from the front with the striped, woven material and tortoise buckle. The bottom strap is adjustable with velcro and you can also widen or narrow the top part with the buckle.
I’ve had these sandals for a couple months now and they are getting lots of use. The style is effortless since you simply slide your foot into them, but the tiny gold grommets dress them up a bit. You can adjust the fit on the bottom strap and these have been comfortable to wear.
I like this wedge style by Steve Madden with the brown velvet. They look good with everything, but do wear a little stiff.
Now these sandals are va va voom! So sassy with the high heel and platform. I will say the chinkier heel makes them easier to walk in and I was concerned about that! The ankle strap has elastic stretch with an adjustable buckle and the woven detail is perfect for summer!
