11 Outfits for Spring and Summer
Happy Happy End of Spring and Start of Summer! It’s already getting hot here in Texas, so I’m seeing lots of shorts outfits and dresses in my OOTD future. I spent the spring season in beautiful floral dresses, a few basic tees, and started styling some shorts. My go to shoe for spring was sneakers. It’s become one of my favorites for chasing around a baby on the move.
Enjoy these 11 Outfits for Spring and Summer!

5 Work Dresses for Fall and Winter
My fashion item for 2023 was definitely dresses. They were great during pregnancy to work with a growing bump, and they’ve been perfect post-pregnancy to work on a consistently changing body type as my pregnancy weight slowly falls off.
I wore the spring and summer dresses from my previous post as long as I could before I finally started shopping for some fall dresses. I specifically wanted some work dresses that I could also were to church, holiday events, etc. Most of these dresses will feature a elastic waist band of some sort. I have found this helpful as my body and size is consistently changing. The elastic helps the dress fit longer as my waist size changes. Also a helpful feature if you wear to a dinner. 🙂
All but one of these dresses are under $100. The first is over, but is on sale for Black Friday for 30% off.
I hope you all have a fabulous Thanksgiving. If you are already Black Friday shopping, I hope you are finding some great deals!

These pictures were taken during different stages of pregnancy, hence the bump size difference. I’ve been a big fan of dresses during my pregnancy and wanted a few work friendly dresses. I’ve also worn these dresses to church and dressier events.
Both dresses have the right amount of stretch for a growing bump. I prefer longer midi and maxi dresses during pregnancy with a flowy fit. I find the length and loose fitting style more comfy for sitting comfortably. I’m currently not doing heels as often and love that both of these dress lengths also work with flat shoes.
Farm Rio Puff Sleeve Mini Dress
Farm Rio Puff Sleeve Mini Dress
When August hits, I start looking for items that will be a great season transitional piece. Items that I can start wearing at the end of summer and continue wearing into the early fall months. Living in a warmer climate, this usually means lighter fabrics for warm days, silhouettes for cooler nights, and a color that fits the bold summer palette and darker fall tones.
This Farm Rio puff sleeve mini dress hits all the marks as a great summer to fall transitional item to have in your closet. The fabric is lightweight and works well in the heat. I can confirm as I wore this dress twice in August. It’s a mini dress so a good silhouette for warmer weather, but the long sleeves will also work for cooler days. The base of the sleeve is elastic which makes it perfect to push up for a warmer day as well.
The floral print is the perfect summer print with a fun bold color palette. The colors do lean more to a dark bold color than the bright colors of summer which makes it great for fall. For August, I paired this dress with wedges and block heel sandals. As we transition into fall, a brown tall boot or pair of heels will be the perfect compliment.
Sizing Note: This dress goes on over your head and is fitted in the bust area, so I would keep that in mind when choosing a size. I’m wearing a size small.
