12 Spring/Summer Outfits That Are Effortless, Cool, & Actually Comfortable

June 5, 2025 No Comments

As you can probably tell in this post, it was warmer out and then it got cooler again.

I start out in dresses, shorts, tanks, and breezy cotton and linen and I end up trading them out for jeans and pants near the end of the post. All part of living in northern NY and the ever changing weather and temperatures. What matters is I loved every single look and felt comfy and cute!

5 Black Linen Pant Outfits That Are Way Comfier Than Jeans

April 17, 2025 No Comments

Linen pants are one of those pieces I reach for again and again—they’re comfy, effortless, and somehow always look put-together. A black pair is SUPER versatile and easy to style.

If you’re petite like me, finding a pair that fits well and looks great is a game changer! Today I’m styling these black linen pants from Quince five different ways to show how versatile they really are.

If you prefer video content, here is the reel (it only showcases 3 of these outfits).

Outfit 1: Pair your black linen pants with a basic tank and throw on a light denim button up for that easy, laid-back vibe. Add a neutral crossbody bag and matching black slides to keep things casual. Perfect for errands, coffee dates, or a weekend stroll.

Style tip: Tuck in your tank to define the waistline—especially great for petites!

Outfit 2: Elevate your linen black pants with a bold graphic tee and layer on a light denim button-up for that laid-back, effortless vibe. This outfit is perfect for casual spring days when you want to stay cozy but still look put together. Finish off the look with comfy neutral clogs to keep things relaxed yet stylish.

Style tip: Pair a light-colored top layer with darker pants to draw the eye upward and create balance in your silhouette.

Outfit 3: Make your black linen pants more interesting with a graphic tee and add a cotton button up on top for extra warmth. This look is ideal for cooler spring mornings or transitioning into spring from cooler weather. Add comfy black slide sandals to finish up!

Style tip: Go monochrome on bottom and add color up top to elongate your legs.

Outfit 4: Keep your black linen pants casual with a fitted gray tank, then layer a cotton brown button-up for a cozy, earthy vibe. This outfit is perfect for early fall days or breezy summer evenings. Finish it off with black slide sandals to stay comfy and chic.

Style tip: Using a warm-toned layer on top adds dimension and draws attention upward, making this a great trick for balancing darker bottoms.

Outfit 5: Keep it streamlined with a fitted black (or white!) tank and elevate with accessories—like a satin scarf, leather sandals, or a straw bag. A perfect base look that can go from daytime casual to a more dressed up evening.

Style tip: This is a great time to highlight proportions—cropped tanks work well with high-waisted linen pants for a leg-lengthening effect.

We have had a SUPER BUSY start to our month of July— of course there was Independence Day, and then we had family come in to town as well as a celebration of life and family bbq with more family, beach days, pool days, evening walks, birthday parties, parades, etc! It’s been so fun and such a great kickoff to summer!

Here are my outfits from the last week and these fun events.

As always, I will link each outfit (or similar options if something is unavailable—I always note if it’s not an exact item in my LTK description) under each photo.

We went on an evening walk on a dirt road near our home and I had my husband snap a photo— I love these little boxer shorts (they come in a 3 pack!) and think they’re so cute and casual and fun.

Outfits For The End of June

July 1, 2024 No Comments

Here is my latest outfit round up! A few outfits I wore last week— we had my son’s kindergarten wrap up ceremony, took him to dinner to celebrate, went on a little hike (where I sat in the car bc it was colder than I thought and I had worn shorts), went strawberry picking again, went to story hour at the library, and spent time at home.

As always, I will link each outfit (or similar options if something is unavailable—I always note if it’s not an exact item in my LTK description) under each photo. If you buy something using these links I earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. I so appreciate your support—it means the world to me and my family!

I wore this outfit strawberry picking on a warm day! I did get strawberry stains on my white shorts, but they came right out with cold water.

Outfit linked HERE. This outfit is almost all older pieces, so I found similar options.

I wore this outfit to my son’s kindergarten end of the year event. I love these jeans— I folded them up and used hem tape to give them this wide hem look!

I also linked a similar pair that is already hemmed up like this.
