Last summer I bought my two favorite shorts (these, and these) that I plan on wearing this summer, too. I’ve got plenty of my favorite tanks (I wouldn’t shut up about them last summer, and one day in July you all bought 15 of them. A big deal for my little corner on LTK!). I love my swimsuits and don’t need any new sunglasses. I feel pretty set for this summer and will only be added a handful of this things this year.

What I’m Buying

After I stopped nursing in the fall last year, I finally dropped off the rest of the baby weight. Once that happened, some of my favorite jeans got wayyy loose. My favorite Agolde jeans are the cropped lana denim. I have them in black and have worn them all of fall and winter. I bought them after I had stopped nursing so they are the correct size. I took a risk and just ordered the Parker jeans which will be a style I’ve never tried.

I’m finally caving and I’m getting a pair of birkenstocks. I have had the colorful Eva style, but never the original leather sandals. I will feel like a true Oregonian in these. I loved my Tkees and Able sandals last summer. The ones from Able were not meant for water and I used them as my pool sandals last year… so. It’s my own fault they’re ruined. I’m also throwing around getting another pair of New Balance. I’m obsessed with this shoe right now. I feel like a cool mom when I wear them.

I have no t-shirts and want to grab some of these from Everlane. I’ve always had trouble finding a quality staple t-shirt. If you have any recommendations, please please send me a DM.

Other items of clothing that need replaced are my workout / hiking shorts. I replaced them all with postpartum shorts when G was born in the middle of the summer and I wasn’t about to try to squeeze into shorts from pre-pregnancy. I wore them last summer, but now I definitely need to replace them since my body is back to it’s original size. I don’t own anything from Vuori, but their hiking shorts looks promising. I’m also looking at Outdoor Voices shorts or these cool Tracksmith shorts. I’m no longer a runner, so active shorts would be used for outdoor play with my kids and hiking / camping this summer.

Last summer I wouldn’t shut up on IG or LTK about how much I loved Noble’s sunhat. I love it for the beach and will love it for camping. It’s just a little too big for neighborhood walks or trips to the park. I really want to snag on a hat from Janessa Leone this summer. I’ve been looking at her hats for over a year. Particularly this cutie.

Cheers to summer and the sun! Can’t wait for it to show up to Portland eventually!
