Summer Outfit Ideas including Dresses and Shorts
Happy mid Summer! We had a busy start to the summer including Baby’s 1st Birthday (pics coming soon), a fun beach vacation with friends, and a crazy start to hurricane season. Plus, this month includes so many great sales and deals including the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. Are you shopping this year? I missed last year since I was busy learning how to take care of a newborn, but I plan to look through the sale this weekend.
On the fashion side of things, the start of summer included lots of heat friendly dresses and shorts outfits paired with breathable tees. I’ve rounded up some of my favorite summer outfit ideas including dresses and shorts below.

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.

What I Wore: Maternity Dresses for Spring and Summer
Hello! Well so much has happened since my last post. Baby Stephen was born June 16th, and we spent all summer soaking up all of the newborn cuddles and adjusting to life as a family of 3.
I’ve been working on this post since May and finally gave myself a deadline to get it up and posted especially since it is for a whole different season. Many of the dresses are on sale right now! Several also come in multiple color options, so you can pick a fall color.
My maternity style was a mix of cute and dressy or comfy and casual. I’ve also included a few cocktail dresses that would be so good for holiday parties. What I loved about most of these dresses is that they work after pregnancy too. Many of them have also made great postpartum outfits.
Stay tuned to the blog because I have some of my current fall favorite dresses coming up on Wednesday.

White Embroidered Blouse
White Embroidered Blouse
How fun is this top?!? This white embroidered blouse is the perfect end of summer item that with a quick jean color switch can transition in to fall. I paired this top with my high waisted jeans for a summer look perfect for grabbing brunch or dinner with your gal pals. The flowy style of this top and cross stitch pattern are really fun, and my pink bow heels were the perfect pairing. Both are fun and colorful and give all the summer style vibes. If you look closely, you can see little embroidered flowers on the white portion of the top.
To transition this top into fall, trade the medium blue jeans for a dark blue or black pair of jeans. A brown pair of booties or boots will complete the fall look. This top is a bit sheer and needs a cami underneath it.
Sizing Notes: This top is oversized, so you may want to consider sizing down. I’m wearing an XS. These jeans are a TTS fit. I ordered a half size up on the shoes which I noticed were on sale.
