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!

I’ve been loving these shorts! Mom friendly (4″ inseam!) and so cute. I am wearing the medium wash. My sweater tank is a little cutie! I also own the white. My necklace is from Acorns and Twine.

Beach Vacation Outfits: All The Looks I Wore in Florida

The first day we were there was sort of colder and rainy (only 70 degrees) and we went grocery shopping and got everything we needed. I wore this adorable seashell tee and these linen/cotton pull on tie shorts. Soooo comfy!

I wore this linen dress to go tour the Henry Ford and Thomas Edison Winter Estates. It was flowy and comfy and I love the bright red. I actually own this dress in 3 colors now–sand (tan), black, and red. Linen and cotton are the ultimate materials to wear when its hot out. They’re breathable and help keep you cooler.

Another flowy dress for a walk around the neighborhood we were staying in. This is a dress I’ve owned for years–I love the green color (although it comes in so many other colors!) and how it barely touches your body, keeping you cool in hot weather.

I wore these comfy boxer shorts and this flowy tank for a day of hanging out at our house. I love pairing these gingham boxers with cute tops in summer! I own them in this green and white combo, the black and white, and the red and white striped.

This fun printed dress was a great option for going out to get ice cream. It’s so fun with its vibrant colors! Orange is my favorite color but it also comes in other colors too.

This outfit was perfect for going to see Alligators. We booked a trip on an airboat and got to see them in the wild, which was so fun! These shorts are a ripstop material, making them super durable. I really love this little denim tank I bought last year–it goes with everything and is so cute! They brought it back this year in a darker wash and this wash in a more square neck version.

While we were in Florida, my parents came to visit for a few days. This is what I wore while we hung out at the house and waited for them to get there. The neutral stripes on this dress are so cute and coastal!

Another outfit for spending time by the pool! Love these comfy denim shorts–they have a 3.5″ inseam which is perfect for moms! I paired them with a white sweater tank and a fun necklace duo.

Make your “Denim Shorts + a Top” More Interesting

It’s easy to get stuck in the rut of getting dressed in the morning and reaching for a plain tee with denim shorts everyday. It’s a cute look and I really love it, but sometimes I want a little bit more variety.

Here are 6 different types of tops you can pair and wear with your denim shorts (or jeans!) instead of a plain white tee.

If you prefer video content, watch the reel HERE.

You can find these outfits (or similar styles) linked below each photo on my LTK page. These are affiliate links, which means I may earn a small commission if you make a purchase—at no additional cost to you. I truly appreciate your support!

1. A graphic tee

A graphic tee is a cute way to feel comfy and still look a little more elevated in the “denim shorts + a tee” uniform. My favorite graphic tees are from Mountain Moverz (use MARISSA20 for $$ off)!

2. A high neck tank

A high neck tank is such a great alternative to a plain tee. I think it’s so cute with a couple layered necklaces!

Outfit linked HERE

3. A blouse

Any little top that is different is always a cute option with denim shorts! I love this babydoll style top and I also have some cute textured tanks that I love to throw on for something a little more interesting.

4. A little white tank (or tee!)

A white top and denim is a classic in my book! I love how they pair together. This tank is SO OLD (from my highschool days) but I’ll link some cute ones that are still available.

5. A button up top

A button up top (cotton or linen especially!) is one of my favorite items to pair with denim shorts. It works great as a layer over a tank or even on its own.

6. A sweater tank

A sweater tank is adds fun texture to a denim shorts outfit. This one comes in lots of colors and o really like the crewneck on it and the side slits.

What kind of top do you like to wear with your denim shorts?! Should I do a second part to this and add more items?
