I went to Florida on vacation a couple months ago and brought all my favorite swimsuits and also bought a few new ones. I wanted to share them in a post in case anyone is looking for some cute new swimsuits for summer. They’re from a variety of places, but the place I always look for swimsuits first is Aerie, so you’ll see quite a few from there. I’ve also got some from Target, Amazon, Quince and a few smaller places you probably haven’t heard of.

Recent Outfits as a Petite Mom Who is Always Trying to Balance Cute and Practical Style

Like everyone else, I am excited for long summer days, colorful outfits, and school being out. My kids get out this week and they are so excited and can’t wait! Here are some of the outfits I’ve been wearing as we lead up to these days. As usual, I like to keep my outfits simple enough to be able to run around and chase my kiddos in, but also cute enough to feel good and like myself. It’s a balance that is sometimes difficult and sometimes easy, depending on weather, what we have going on, and how my body is feeling that day (and if it’s that time of the month, haha). But for the most part, I feel like I was able to do it with these looks. What do you think?

I linked each outfit under each photo. I do use affiliate links, which just means I earn a small commission (at no additional cost to you) if you purchase anything using my links. I appreciate your support more than you know, as it helps me to keep creating content.
