A Chic Way To Stay Covered Up This Summer

2 weeks ago | themomedit.com | Amy Vafa

Somewhere between discovering a love for black coffee instead of sugary lattes and being in my mid-30s came a realization that sun-scorched skin is NOT worth it. Quite the revelation for those of us born into the suntan oil + tanning beds generation. But I haven’t been covering up purely for sun protection, I also can’t help but think that long linen and gauzy layers are summer’s best pieces. top (XL) | trousers (8 Tall)Not the denim short. Not a slinky tank top. Not even the sundress.
The Greatest Sweater In My Closet (& I Wear It All Summer Long)

1 month ago | themomedit.com | Amy Vafa

My most worn, most dependable wardrobe items tend to sneak up on me. Their GOAT status develops like a slow burn. And I don’t usually pinpoint these pieces until at least a year or so after owning them, once I realize just how often I’ve reached for them over every season. Jenni Kayne’s Cruise Cocoon Crewneck only recently obtained my GOAT status after owning it for multiple years. Sweaters are some of my most favorite wardrobe pieces in general, but THIS ONE is my top pick of the entire stack.

This post is sponsored by Gap Factory. I joke a lot about how much outfit formulas give me nightmares (it crushes my creativity!!!). But the funny thing is, I mostly buy the same handful of items for my wardrobe. Similar pieces, just in a different font, if you will. Which is kiiiiind of the same concept. For warmer months, there are 3 key items I always make sure I have on hand: good matching sets, oversized button-downs, and easy summer sweaters.
10 Best Summer Jeans for Tall Women (Tried & Reviewed)

1 month ago | themomedit.com | Amy Vafa

Wearing jeans in late spring and summer can be polarizing—some avoid denim entirely, while others (like me!) embrace it, especially in lighter fabrics and relaxed fits. At 5’10”, I’m always on the hunt for warm-weather denim that’s actually long enough. I am totally into it, depending on the function or if I’m kicking it in AC all day. But my denim preferences switch up as the sun heats up. I like light, looser material. I prefer lighter washes, as well.
Help! It's Humid, And I Don't Want To Wear Denim Shorts

1 month ago | themomedit.com | Amy Vafa

My favorite local TikTok meteorologist (yes, I have one of those) quite literally just made a video prepping us for “swamp booty” season (or excuse me, he said “swamp butt” but I simply can’t type that more than once). Apparently, it arrives this coming week. So while I would love to be channeling all sorts of summertime fashioninspo for you right now, there is one thing, and one thing only, I am gearing up to wear on repeat. Casual, comfy, easy, loose athletic shorts.

The Piece I'm Most Looking Forward To Wearing In Warm Weather

2 months ago | themomedit.com | Amy Vafa

Athletic shorts are this year’s boxer shorts. Allow me to explain. Over the last few summers, boxer-style shorts took the wearable fashion trends by storm. Love it or hate it, women were out in the masses rocking cutie little printed soft shorts with whatever the heck on top and feeling comfortable as all get out. For me, I loved it. I even wrote articles about it. Because no matter what you feel about how they look, you can’t argue how gosh dang comfortable they feel.
The Barrel Pants I'll Be Wearing All Summer: Gap Factory

2 months ago | themomedit.com | Amy Vafa

I think every year I find a pant and declare it something like The Pant of The Summer. I’m sure it sounds dramatic, but it’s a helpful glimpse into how I like to dress – as easy, and as repetitive as possible. NOT in an outfit formula sense (my creative soul just shivered in fear), but more with the idea of consuming less and giving the most life to the pieces I buy as I can.
Found: A Comfy, Organic Cotton Dress That I Actually Want To Wear

2 months ago | themomedit.com | Amy Vafa

This post is sponsored by Evereve. Springtime always lures me in to look at dresses. I don’t always find ones I love (I’m more of a tomboy by nature and therefore super picky on the subject), but when I do, they become wardrobe staples for years. EVEREVE recently did a collab with Emerson Fry and when I clicked through their pieces I became instantly giddy when I saw The Isla. From the longer, t-shirt-esque sleeves, to the 100% airy organic cotton material, I knew this could potentially be The One.
