Poolside

Well hello summer!

The only people truly excited about the pool opening this weekend are small children and women who look good in bathing suits.  You know who you are.  You lost all your baby weight the day you got home from the hospital, you "forget" to eat during important meal times, you can't find a two-piece smaller than a size 2.  Yeah - I have three words for you...Eat a cookie.


For the rest of us - sitting poolside is not as glamorous.  The second part of my summer uniform is a bathing suit and a cover up.  A great cover up can take you from the pool to a casual restaurant without feeling too slimy from the day's events.


Key note to take away from this - a cover up is just that - it should "cover" you up.  Find one that leaves a little to the imagination - especially if you plan on doing a little dinner after the pool.


Don't forget your sunscreen!

Summer Uniform

School is Out! 

As a mom of two, my summer uniform is going to need to be simple and to the point.  My "Go To" pieces are going to be bright colored bottoms, stripe tee's, printed tee's, and flats.  My cell phone is of course a necessary accessory.  I might as well be naked without it.
It is okay to be casual and comfortable during the summer months.  Just don't let yourself go completely.  It is possible to look pulled together and keep cool.

What will your summer uniform be?
