15 Late Summer Outfits I’ve Been Wearing in Real Life: Petite Casual Mom Style

August 5, 2026 No Comments

This summer is absolutely flying by–I can hardly believe it’s August already. We’ve had such a beautiful and fun summer and it’s slowly winding down as we prepare for our youngest to get his tonsils and adenoids out next week and his recovery after that. Before we do that though, I want to share some of the recent outfits I’ve worn this summer. This is a good mix of casual mom outfits, church and fancier outfits, really comfy and easy outfits, and everything else in between. I hope this round up helps you find some outfit inspiration for the rest of these warm summer months!
