When you’re a mom, some days (especially on days you’re out and about with your little ones), all you want to do is to be comfortable. That is where my go-to denim shorts fit in. Personally, I think they are pretty cool and don’t scream “mommy”, and the fact that they are comfortable is a happy bonus. Distressed and with a raw hem, these are by far my favorite denim shorts. And they make me feel good. Isn’t that what dressing is all about? Feeling good about what you wear?

I’ve definitely been gravitating towards denim and stormy blue this season – like the color of my (favorite) bag. So anything chambray has been tugging at my heartstrings and begging to jump into my closet.

Another favorite find this season are these gladiator lace-up sandals. They go perfectly with the whole distressed denim, flower-child vibe of this look. Imagine this with running shoes. It just won’t work.
