Sharing some summer fashion with you all today! Â Basically everything I wore in May so I’m apologizing in advance for the crazy picture overload. I am so beyond behind on posts you guys! Â Â So much to share and never enough time to get things up on my computer! Â We ended school and took off the next day on a quick family vacation to Orlando, Florida. Â Hit the theme parks and wrestled alligators. Â Ok.. we didn’t wrestle alligators, but I did hold one (a baby for about 5 seconds and I was shaking the entire time) so close enough. Â Florida was beautiful! Â A great trip full of good times and bad hair. :) Â Now we’re home again and I’m excited to be settling into our summer routine! Â I have so many things I want to get done this summer. Â My “current projects” printables are filled out and ready to go! Â More on that soon. Â For now.. let’s talk clothes!

{Flutter Sleeve Crepe Top/AG jeans (on sale!)/Earrings/Similar bag/Espadrille Sandals}
Cutest summer top!  You all know me and my difficulty branching out from my beloved AG jeans. It just doesn’t happen much (even in the summer because our temps are basically the same as they are in the winter). :) But this would also be cute with a skirt, white jeans, with something red for the 4th of July.  Endless possibilities!
It’s silky and lightweight and perfect for warmer temps.

I love it so much I bought it in white too! Â Isn’t the ruffle detail pretty and feminine?

It has been on major repeat the past two months. Â Wearing it here with my little sidekick at Ad’s last play!
My cute friend took these pics when she came to see the play with me. Â Still loving these wedge sandals!
I made her get in a pic too. Â Because you can’t hang out with me for long without having to endure some pictures. Â My friends love me for it.
I also love this top paired with these cute green Paige crop jeans. Â Straw bags are so fun for summer! Â I bought this one in the Spring and it has sold out but if you’re looking for a cute one for a good price I love this circle straw tote! Â So many cute straw options right now…
{Crochet Neck Linen Tee/Paige Jeans/Corlina Ankle Strap Sandals/Earrings}
Different day, same bag and Paige jeans with a different top and sandals. Â I love the top of this black tee! Â So pretty. Â I’ve worn it with skirts a few times too and it’s easy to dress up or down. Â It comes in other colors too.
{Scallop Eyelet Dress/Earrings/Purse/Strap Sandals}
Ellie had two special end of the year events (her middle school promotion and party). Â We didn’t have time to go shopping so we ordered LOTS of dresses on-line for her to try. Â She’s an xs in womens now (my size – woot woot!) so we had a major dress party in my closet. Â I couldn’t resist trying them all on too! Â I had a hard time not keeping half of them. Â She chose two (this dress and this dress to wear with a little sweater or cardigan over them) and I chose two. Â This pretty white dress was one I just couldn’t send back. Â It didn’t work for El so I had to take one for the team and keep it myself.
I’m nice like that.
Isn’t the pattern and detail pretty!? Â Perfect dress for summer.
Me heading to an event one night and Kenny heading out on an evening run. Â Our 10 minutes to see each other so we documented it. Â And then hugged good-bye and said “until next time..” Â We were in major divide and conquer mode for that end of school year 6 week madness!
{Lace Fit and Flare Dress/Purse/Earrings/Strap Sandals}
This was the other dress El ordered and I kept. Â So beautiful and I’ve always loved navy! Â Does the pattern/material look familiar?
It’s the same as the back of this Ruffle Sheath dress I shared a while ago.
Such a favorite! Â I’m excited to have a few new dresses to work into my rotation! Â Seems like I’m having to dress up for things more and more lately.
Even though if it were up to me I’d be living in sweats and graphic tees like this one. Â I loved the 90’s. :)
Love this green v neck tee from Cassie’s Gibson collaboration! Â (Isn’t her whole collection just fun!?)
It has such a cute little twist on the sleeve!
Another favorite from her collection I’ve been wearing a lot is this Kahala tie sleeve top in navy.  So cute!  I need to get a better pic of the detail on the sleeve.  I also need to pair it with something other than jeans!  Goal for next month.  Along with drink more water and eat breakfast every day.  (My girls and I met with a nutritionist yesterday and I have much to work on.. starting slowly with the basics!)
{1901 Ribbed Sweater/Gingham Ruffle Skirt/Similar Shoes here and here}
While we’re talking navy tops, isn’t this outfit adorable!? Â Love it for the 4th or any summer get together. Â I told Vanessa she was already a pro so she might as well hop in a few more pics. ;) Â We sometimes share clothes and I am so borrowing this red gingham skirt! Â It’s so cute and 40% off!
She had her daughter take this one later in the day. Â Her shoes are older but these are similar. Â I love the sweater, but if it’s hot during he summer where you live this skirt would be cute with any tank or tee!
{Ruffle Sleeve Tee/AG jeans/Espadrille Sandals/Earrings}
Another favorite green top I’ve been reaching for over and over. Â In fact my girls were teasing me about wearing it again the other day.
It has a slouchy loose fit that is so cute and flattering! Â It just hangs well. Â And I didn’t get a pic of the back but it has a cute v shape. Â It does run big though so I’d go down a size (I’m wearing xxs). Â It’s also 40% off!
An older beloved shirt with my favorite Zella crop pants. Had to have them in blue!  If I’m taking a break from jeans I’ll be wearing these.  I get asked about these Zella crop pants almost every time I wear them!  Which is a lot sine I now have them in 4 colors.  I especially get questions about them on airplanes!  I always travel in them and every trip women stop me and ask me about them.  It’s becoming a thing.. I wait to see how long it takes on the airplane before I get asked about them.  Walking down the aisle.. 4.. 3.. 2.. “Love those pants!  Where did you get them?… “ BAM.. knew it. ;)  I’m kind of hoping they don’t come out with these in more colors because I will be FORCED to buy them and they will take over my closet.  I might have to design a separate closet just for these Zella crop pants.  Hmmm.. that’s a thought.
Kidding! Â But not kidding.
{Eyelet Sleeve Top/AG jeans/Espadrille Sandals/Earrings/Similar Bag}
Ok.. clearly I’m a fan of green tops! Â But seriously is this not the most darling summer tee!? Â The sleeves are perfection! Â Comes in other colors too. Â Summer nights in the yard are my favorite. Â Everything is growing so beautifully right now and I love watching my kids play outside while I soak it all in. Â The best is when a neighbor starts a BBQ (or better yet when we do!). Â Don’t you love that smell on a warm summer night!? Â It’s my favorite.
{Banded Lace Midi Skirt/Strap Sandals/El’s dress/El’s shoes}
A few pics from the end of our school year! Â Middle school graduation.. I can’t believe El is off to high school. Â (sniff)
Wrapping up Ad’s last play (Willy Wonka). Â She is going to be Horton the elephant this summer in Suessical. :)
{Ava and Yelly Dress/Felicia Anna Flats}
Then we had a special audition for a play in the Fall. Â We found this dress and it’s absolutely darling. Â I can’t find it on-line! Â And sparkly shoes make everything better. :)
LOTS of driving for this one the past 6 weeks. Â He’s always a good sport when friends can come along.
I just bought him his annual pair of Natives which means summer is officially here!
Bring on lazy days by the pool!
We are more than ready.
:)
{SUMMER FASHION SOURCES}
Congratulations an making it through the end of the year! What an epic fashion post, Erin. Everything looks fabulous and how fun that you got your friend to join in. :) I think my favorite is that white lacy dress. So pretty and so flattering. I like your green tops, too. You find items that are so visually interesting with the sleeve details. Congratulations to Ellie for her promotion and to Addison for her performance successes. Congrats to Kole for not getting too overwhelmed by his friends in that seat. :) You must be one proud mama. Now hopefully you can sit back and relax a bit this summer! :)
Thank you so much Jeanne! Isn’t that white dress stunning!? So fun for summer. I’m happy you like it too! And yes! Time to sit back and chill for sure. Although it’s never totally relaxing with the kids home, right? Ha. But SO nice to not be driving a million places everyday! I hope you are enjoying your break too! Are you working or home this summer? xo
Would love it if you’d consider posting the hotels, resorts and places you stay at on vacation. Also maybe a quick, ” I’d stay here again or it was okay I’ll try ABC place next time” etc. Always such beautiful pictures.
Hi Ali! I’ll definitely share that info! I haven’t gone through our vacation pics yet.. the pool in this post is actually a friend’s house! But I’ll have a few Florida pics and hotel info. coming soon. :)
I’m so glad I’m not the only one that buys a shirt in every color once I find something I love! :) I just might have to pull the trigger on that green ruffle sleeve top. I’m a big fan of cute tee’s with longer sleeves that hid all those upper arm imperfections. ;) Thanks as always for such a fun post!
Me too Shannon! I love the longer sleeves on that green top! And yes to buying multiples of favorites! If I love something I wear it over and over so nice to have it in a few different color options, right!? ;) Thanks cutie! xo
I can’t wait to hear about your trip to Florida! I’m a native Central Floridian (and a Disney Passholder), so I always love to hear about people’s trips here!
Oh so fun Jessica! Florida was beautiful! I’ll definitely share pics soon! xo
Great style pics! I love the navy top and fit and flare navy dress you chose. Quick question about the way you wear your tops with jeans. Do you tuck just part of your tops in so that you don’t get holes in your tops? I have had a problem with the buttons on my jeans wearing small holes into the fabric of my tops. I’ve gotten some button covers meant to work as a barrier between the jeans button and my tops, but they’re kind of a pain. The way you wear your tops with jeans might be easier.
Thank you Marilyn! I just always tuck my shirt in because it gives me a little more shape! It looks more flattering that way with most of my tees. :)
I love the Zella crop pants. What size do you wear? Not sure if I would be XS or S. I don’t want it to be lose on the waist but I don’t want it to be tight either.
I don’t think any size will be too loose on your waist because they have a large elastic waist band! (So comfy!) I’m wearing a small. The xs worked but I felt like they looked a little too fitted on my butt. :) So I went with small! Hope that helps Debbie! xo
Thank you Erin! Yes that helps!
I always enjoy your fashion posts! The one item that really caught my eye this time was your gray ombre sweats! I love them!!! Please tell us where they are from! I need a pair ASAP! :)
Thank you Tiffany! Oh my word.. those are one of my favorite pairs of sweatpants! They were from Nordstrom about a year ago! Sold out so fast. I’ll definitely be watching for something similar for you! xo
Too funny about the Zella crops – that’s all I travel in too! But since mine are black, they don’t get noticed as much. :) LOL. They are SO cozy on airplanes!
Right!? The coziest travel pants ever! :)
