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?

Recent Spring Outfits: What I’ve Been Wearing Lately as a Petite Mom
The weather has been so back and forth, as I’m sure you can tell from this post. We’ll have a few nice days and then it gets cooler again, so no putting away my pants or long sleeves or sweatshirts! I don’t mind it that much, it’s pretty typical for Northern NY. I am looking forward to a little bit more consistent warm weather so we can finally swim though! Here are ten of the outfits I wore in May!
