Summer style is hard for me – I’m definitely more of a fall / winter style girl. So rather than stay frustrated with it, I took some time to figure out what my go-to summer outfit formulas are going to be. This way, I can quickly recreate or make a slight variation of them when I’m getting ready early in the morning.
Here are my 7 go-to outfit formulas for summer style as a nanny! FYI, this blog post contains some affiliate links, from which I can earn a small commission at no cost to you.
1. Overalls.
These overalls are a new style that I’ve tried recently from Target – and I’m a big fan! FYI, I sized up 2 sizes for a cozier fit. I paired them with sneakers, but could wear Birkenstocks/sandals too.
2. Tee + denim shorts.
I have trouble finding denim shorts that fit my hourglass body type well. But then I just found these longer 5″ inseam shorts at Old Navy that fit really well & don’t ride up!
3. Romper + sandals.
Okkkkk I just got this black romper at Lululemon and when I say I’m obsessed with it…I’m not kidding. It has longer shorts so they don’t ride up, it has a high neckline so I don’t have to worry about that while nannying, and it is lightweight, so it won’t be too hot. Perfect for my life on the go as a nanny of 2 small kids!
4. Lightweight dress + denim jacket.
If I want to be a little more “dressy”, I can opt for this dress & denim jacket & sandals combo. I got this green knit dress at Old Navy, and it comes in a bunch of different colors.
5. Athletic dress.
I got this athletic dress at Old Navy this spring, and it comes in a few colors. Here is a super popular tank style from Abercrombie this season, and this one-shoulder one is so cute!
6. Graphic tee + joggers.
Athletic joggers are one of my most-worn items in my closet. Pairing them with a graphic or basic tee is an easy outfit combo!
7. Tank + shorts.
These high neck tanks from Target come in many different colors, and the high neck is perfect for like on-the-go as a nanny.
I paired them with these black shorts from Target, that are a good cross between an athletic short and a “regular” short.
