Mom Meets World: Jean Shorts

I'd love to share five new outfits with you from this week, but the reality is that I volunteered to help with Vacation Bible School and spent the week sporting my VBS Volunteer shirt and name badge. 

So instead, I've rounded up all my favorite jean shorts because they're my summer staple, especially on the weekends. 

I fell in love with all of these but only one, four, five, and seven  had the perfect fit for my figure. 

Two, eight, three, and nine are for that body type I can only dream of having (skinny legs and no butt). ;)

Mom Meets World: Summer 2

Monday: I spent Memorial Day weekend in the mountains with my brother and his family, so this was a travel day spent on the plane. After wrangling Graham, our suitcases, and a carseat all day, I didn't have the energy to snap a photo of my outfit, but this was basically it, just trade the cut-offs for some jeans and the tennis shoes for some sandals.

Tuesday: I spent all day doing laundry and trying to adjust to life with three kids again. We did manage to make it out of the house for a grocery store run and swim lessons, but there wasn't an outfit worth posting so I'm sharing what I wore to a girls dinner last week.

Wednesday: June is here which means summer is in full effect! I'm celebrating with some white on white and my favorite gold sandals.

Thursday: These boots have been on repeat for awhile. I'm counting down the days until I can trade them in for my sandals.

Friday: Yes, this is technically Monday's outfit with the sweater on instead of around my waste. But when a sweater is this great, you wear it twice in the same week! I bought it in two colors and I'm tempted to buy it in a third. It's light weight and perfect for Houston summers (and winters)!

Summertime Sandals

Are your feet set for summertime? It's never easy choosing which sandal to sport around all season so I've compiled my favorites below in hopes of making the online browsing easier for someone. 

I live in my sandals and every year by August, I've usually worn them raw so this year I chose three different ones to get me carry me through the next couple months. So far I've been really happy with all my choices. The comfort level has been on par and I've enjoyed switching out the style to compliment what I wear. Check out my previous post HERE to see my top three favorites in action.

Mom Meets World: Summer 1

There’s nothing more complicated than a new mom’s closet and sadly it only gets worse before it gets better. It’s hard to believe how many shapes and sizes your body can experience in three short years, but the struggle is real! I literally lived in workout clothes most of those days. I know we love to joke about wearing Lulu Lemon and not working out, but let’s be honest, the real workout is the other eleven hours of the day, NOT the one that was actually spent at the gym.  If I’m being completely honest, I used to go to Body Combat, come home and shower only to put work out clothes back on. I know I’m not alone in doing this, and I’m certainly not ashamed, just realistic. 

So after sleepwalking through this past year and finally making it to a place where I am sane and ready to be social, I’m finally putting on "real" clothes each morning, but I’ve learned to do it with the feel of activewear. ;)

Monday: 

Sandals have always been my shoe of choice and wearing them year round used to be my favorite part about living in Houston. That is, until I had kids and needed something on my feet that allowed me to move quick like a cat. That's why I've traded in my flip flops for tennies, and if I had it my way I would probably wear these gold new balances every day of the week.   

Tuesday: 

Wednesday: 

I think we can all agree there's nothing more comfortable than a tshirt dress. After all, you can't dispute an outfit with no restriction around the waist or thighs. But with little ones a dress can be complicated. I usually try to wear mine on Wednesdays when I have help with the twins. 

Thursday: (Cinco De Mayo) 

Friday:
This post wouldn't be complete without giving Blaze and Monster Machines a shout out! After all, its the reason I get to shower and get dressed! Before we discovered a tv show Graham loved, he used to go in the babies' room and wake them up while I was getting ready. It made for a stressful start to the day, but now I let him watch a "special" Blaze and Monster on mommy's bed while I get ready. 

I'm hoping my teeny tiny side kicks will make some appearances showing off their great sense of style too so stay tuned!
