Easy Spring to Summer Outfits

Easy Spring to Summer Outfits

May 21, 2019 · In: Fashion

Summer is here as is planning those summer outfits for vacations and around all that pool time. I am trying my best to keep up with these steadily rising temperatures here in Louisiana. And man are they rising. Finding outfits that are perfect for that spring to summer transition is not too difficult when you have so many cute clothing options available along with the continuous trend of those light blazers and blue jean jackets.
Spring to Summer Outfit

Mom life sometimes needs a mom style, summer outfits.

Don’t get me wrong here. I don’t mean anything by saying moms require a ‘mom style’. What I will say is clothes that are deemed kid-safe are perfect to have on hand during those more chaotic months, ahem, the summer. The great thing is that you can still be stylish while rocking a mom style. Here are my 3 favorites for transitioning into those summer months!

Preppy has never been so cute.

I have never truly considered myself as one to dress more on the preppy side. I do own a few Polo tops, but nothing that just jumps out at you when you walk through my closet. This outfit though. It is not only comfy and light, but it is oh so cute. The small stripped button up sleeveless top is the perfect addition with this marigold button up linen skirt. The top can be mixed with other bottoms, and even tied to give it a more cropped look instead of tucked in. The price was a winner for me! This entire outfit was under $20 at Forever 21. Yep.

Stripes and elastic.

Elastic shorts have never been so, well, stylish. Loving these striped shorts for more than the elastic. They are a great fit and are perfect for running any errands. The light material is also perfect for those warmer months. I paired these shorts with a thick cotton tank. Guess how much this tank is? Y’all, it is only $3.90! Yep! You would never guess that it is that cheap by the feel and look of it. Nicely made. I was ready to conquer all in this outfit, including my toddlers random assortment of toys behind me.

Casual and varsity tanks.

I have always had a thing for those varsity-style tops. Something about those stripes make me feel vintage cute, if that even makes sense. I snatched this tank up while I was in Walmart. It is a lighter material and very soft. This shirt paired with these frayed denim shorts is the perfect casual outfit for any day. I have to mention that these shorts are really comfy! The denim actually has a stretch to them. They are not made out of your usual stiff blue jean material. So mamas, these bad boys will move and stretch with any toddler wrestling move and you will feel cute every second of it. Take it from me: everyone needs a pair of these shorts!

Summer outfits have never been so comfy.

A lot of the time I will choose cuteness over comfort.  Thankful for these outfits that don’t make me have to choose between the two! Hoping these outfits have inspired you to grab those outfits that not only are cute, but will help you conquer mom life like the super woman that you are!

Another easy weekday dinner idea? I got you with t Another easy weekday dinner idea? I got you with this Chicken Pot Pie made with @keystonemeats . This recipe is so good, so simple, and cozy ( y’all know what I mean 😂). The Keystone Canned Chicken makes it easier with it being fully cooked premium meat - NOTHING to thaw or cook, and it  only contains 2 clean ingredients. 

Chicken Pot Pie:

Filling-
1 can of KEYSTONE Canned Chicken, 28oz (drained)
2 can of Cream of Mushroom Soup, 10.5oz
1 cup of chicken broth 
1 bag of frozen mixed veggies, 16oz

Topping -
1 cup of milk
1 cup of self-rising flour
1 stick of butter, melted

Mix the filling ingredients and pour into a 9x13 casserole dish or a large deep dish pie dish ( like me!). Mix the topping ingredients, then pour on top. Bake uncovered at 450 for ~45 minutes or until golden brown.

Grab your KEYSTONE Canned Chicken online, Walmart, Kroger, Giant Eagle, or Meijer!

Ingredients:

2lbs ground meat
1/2 white onion, diced
1 - 28oz can of whole peeled tomatoes 
1 -18oz of tomato sauce
16.9oz Kettle & Fire Chicken Broth
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup shredded Parmesan 
16oz ricotta cheese
1lb of Gigli Noodles 
Salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder and Italian seasoning

Brown ground meat and sauté onions on med-high heat; add tomatoes and sauce and cook until tomatoes cook down, add seasonings; add noodles and broth; make sure all noodles are covered before putting lid on pan. Cook for about ~15 minutes, until noodles are al dente. While noodles cook, prep ricotta cheese mixture ( ricotta, 3/4c mozzarella and 1/4c Parmesan) as well as seasoned with Italian seasoning and salt.

Once noodles are done, fold in ~1/4c mozzarella then top with more mozzarella and place lid- heat on low - just to melt cheeses; now top with ricotta mixture and place in oven under broil with no lid long enough to lightly brown ricotta cheese and melt it.
