I don’t know about you, but I’m always trying to figure out the most recent “MUST HAVES” for any season. As we approach summer, there’s no reason why we can’t stay cool while looking HOT, right?!!!

I’ve put together a couple of looks for the summer. I don’t care what your budget is, one of these looks is sure to fit within your wallet. Just because we are moms doesn’t mean we have to lose our style.

Boyfriend burnout tops are a must have this season paired with a high waist-ed high cut denim dolphin short. One Teaspoon is one of my favorite shorts, but you can definitely find similar styles elsewhere… Free People, Forever 21, H&M, etc. The top is light and the shorts show some leg without showing your cheeks :). Paired with gladiator sandals and you are off to tackle the hot Austin weather while looking HOT! Ray-bans styled sunglasses will keep you chic with any outfit and accessories absolutely make your look. We talk about Kendra Scott all the time here at AMB so there’s no reason not to include her hot “bubble” necklace with this cool summer look. Layering is a theme so you should never have a shortage of bangle bracelets. Here are some of my favs!

 

If you’re just looking for a trendy piece that won’t break the bank, Target is the place to go! They have similar trendy pieces at much lower prices than Free People and Nordstrom. They may not hold up as long as their pricier counterparts, but sometimes trends don’t either. Denim shirts are the rage this season! You can tie it up or tuck it in…either way, you can’t go wrong. Classic style shorts are a must have as they go with anything! Tunics, flowy, tight, these shorts go with any style top. I’ve added a more affordable “Wayfarer” Ray-Ban style shade as well {from Free People for less than $20}, shoes and accessories from Target. You can still look fab while on a budget and Gap, Old Navy, and Target are some of my most favorite finds. Looking sexy this summer can still be affordable!

 

Long skirts are definitely back in!!! An asymmetric skirt gives you a little sweet and sass! My motto is pair an inexpensive top with a great skirt or pair of shorts. Here, we have an adorable Free People skirt with an inexpensive top from Forever 21. You can always save your wallet at trendy stores like Forever 21, Target, etc. Paired with a bright pair of Kendra Scott earrings and wedges {this pair is less than $60!!!}, you have the perfect ensemble for cocktails at the Oasis! And don’t forget that accessories are IN IN IN this year… you can find long necklaces at places like Dillards, Free People, or even Charmin’ Charlie!

 

From casual to evening, these looks are interchangeable! You can’t go wrong in Austin and thank goodness we are a town where anything flies, but as moms, flaunt your inner-sexy this summer!

What’s your “never leave home” without item? Mine is a pair of Ray-Bans… I have the Wayfarers in black, white, and pink! Yes, I’m a sunglasses snob… I’m fully aware.
