I’ve put together a few simple summer outfit ideas for moms. You can easily swap out pieces to fit your mood, the weather, the occasion, or what’s currently in your closet.

Like a lot of working moms during the pandemic, I went from working full-time in a professional office setting to working remotely while also not having childcare to eventually leaving the workforce to be a stay-at-home mom. My wardrobe of mostly dresses, pencil skirts, dress pants, and blouses was not ideal for my situation once I was out of the office environment. I am trying to transition my closet to meet my current needs, and my main goal is to have a simple wardrobe that allows me to feel confident when I leave the house while still being comfortable enough to chase two toddlers. I’ve put together four budget-friendly outfit ideas that have inspired some of my shopping for the Fall.
