I’ve always been a fan of anything chambray. To me, chambray has a timeless, Americana feel to it, and I have numerous tops, dresses and shorts/pants in this material. It doesn’t matter the season, you can usually find me in at least one chambray piece!
I scooped this this breezy top because it was comfortable and knew it would work both before and after baby. This is a common theme for me if you’ve been following along the past few months as you can see in this post and this post, too.
I came across the maternity version of these scalloped shorts that have served me well over the past few weeks. I don’t think the maternity version are available anymore but there’s a non-maternity version that are identical and they’re on sale for $25. I get a lot of compliments when I wear them and I have these same shorts in a chambray material from this same retailer. These shorts are a good length in my opinion for a mid-30s mom. Shorts always seem a little on the shorter side for me since I’m 5’10, but this pair is flattering overall.
I’m just a couple weeks away from adding another little one to family, and the Houston heat and humidity is pretty much unbearable at this point. I’m actually 36 weeks pregnant today, and I’m achy and uncomfortable in general to be totally honest. Lightweight tops, shorts and easy dresses are my go-to pieces the remainder of the month.
I’ve linked a few other chambray and scalloped pieces that I think are great summer staples below. Enjoy!
