European vacation outfits for midsize women ✈️🇮🇹

I packed these outfits for 10 days in Italy, Greece, and Croatia, and every piece earned a spot in my suitcase. Think comfortable sightseeing outfits, cruise dinner dresses, lightweight linen pants, and easy travel looks for a European summer.

Currently pretending I’m still wandering cobblestone streets. 🇮🇹☀️ This easy striped maxi is the first dress I’ve worn since getting home, and I’m linking similar styles in my LTK because this silhouette is too good not to share.

A little Fourth of July weekend recap. ❤️🤍💙

Just a few days of pool time, World Cup, good food, and outfits that let me enjoy it all without thinking about them.

Sometimes that’s all you need.

Hope you had a great holiday weekend! ☀️

School’s out, and my wardrobe changed almost overnight.

No more getting dressed for a classroom.
Just outfits that are comfortable enough for errands, lunches, walks, and whatever the day brings.

These are the outfits I’ve actually been wearing since summer started.

Finally found shorts that don’t become a workout every time I walk. 🙌

These actually stay in place, so I’m not constantly pulling them down or adjusting them. If you want comfortable shorts you can wear all day, these are worth a look.

Everything is linked here. 🤍

#LTKootd #LTKSeasonal #LTKMidsize

Vacation-ready and confidence-approved. 🤍

I almost talked myself out of this cover-up, but I’m so glad I didn’t. It’s lightweight, flattering, and easy to throw on over a swimsuit for the pool or beach.

Everything is true to size and linked here.

#LTKSwim #LTKootd #LTKSeasonal

Jerseys don’t mean I have to leave my favorite jewelry at home. 🇺🇸⚽️

Game day, still me.

Who’s watching tonight?

Summer outfit formula I keep reaching for ☀️

If shorts aren’t your thing, lightweight pull-on pants are such a good alternative. They’re breathable, belly-friendly, and don’t leave me counting the minutes until I can change.

Paired with a double-lined tank, an oversized chambray shirt, and comfy sandals, this is one of those outfits that feels put together without trying too hard.

#LTKootd #LTKMidsize #LTKSeasonal

My go-to midsize pool day outfit featuring a leopard one-piece swimsuit, crochet cover-up set, comfortable sandals, and oversized sunglasses. This is the outfit I actually wear for summer pool days when I want to feel comfortable and put together.

#LTKSeasonal #LTKootd #LTKMidsize

First day of summer vacation outfit. Comfy lace trim shorts with an oversized tshirt. Size down in the shirt for a more fitted fit.

#LTKootd #LTKSeasonal #LTKMidsize

Teacher outfit for last day of school. Worked well in a muggy classroom as I packed up for summer and said goodbye to students.

Teacher outfit for graduation.

What I actually wore last week.

Not a capsule wardrobe.
Not a shopping haul.
Not outfits I wish I wore.

Just the clothes I reached for while teaching, chaperoning an 8th grade dance, packing up my classroom, going on a field trip, and watching the World Cup.

I’ve stopped trying to build a closet full of fantasy outfits and started paying attention to what I genuinely want to wear in my real life.

Turns out, comfort gets worn. A lot.

Which outfit would you actually wear? 👇

Such a fun family game to play.

#LTKdayinmylife #LTKHome #LTKTravel

Outfit for today’s World Cup game. Wide leg white jeans with front patch pockets and white burn-style sandals.

#LTKootd #LTKSeasonal #LTKMidsize

Casual Saturday outfit for errands and lunch. Size down in the shirt. Shorts are TTS.

#LTKootd #LTKMidsize #LTKSeasonal

The item I forgot to pack! This is what I normally use for long walking days, travel, theme parks, etc.

#LTKselfcare #LTKActive #LTKMidsize

Dance recital outfit 🤍 Comfortable enough to sit through hours of performances and still feel put together.

At this point in my life, if I can’t sit, walk, dance, and breathe in it, it’s not coming with me.

Concert outfit details linked here.

Cute spring work outfits… but still realistic enough to survive a full school day 🌸 like and comment SPRING for links!

These are the kinds of outfits I actually gravitate toward when I want to feel comfortable, put together, and able to move around all day without thinking about my clothes 🤍

Sizing up for my stomach only to have the legs huge? Yeah. I stopped dressing for a flatter stomach and started dressing for my actual life instead.
No sucking in. No adjusting. Just dressed. 🤍

#midsizestyle #midsizefashion #teacherstyle #comfortablefashion #size14style

I went to the mall because my daughter was hanging out with her boyfriend and I had returns to make…

…and somehow still came home with sunglasses, jewelry, and a dress 😅🤍

Simple outfits have been winning for me lately 🤍
Easy wide leg pants, a fitted tank, and a lightweight layer that makes the whole outfit feel finished without sacrificing comfort. This is the kind of outfit I actually want to stay in all day.

Everything is true to size!
📏 5’4” | size 14/16 | wearing L/XL tops + 14/16 bottoms

#LTKWorkwear #LTKMidsize #LTKOver40

Five bottoms I reach for on repeat for work or errands or anything else. Everything is TTS. If in between sizes, size DOWN.

#LTKWorkwear #LTKMidsize #LTKootd

Good enough for date night or for sitting on the floor grading papers during recital rehearsal. Flowy dress that doesn’t dig or roll or squeeze. Pair with simple flats and a fun necklace and earrings.

Dress is TTS.

#LTKootd #LTKOver40 #LTKMidsize

All black for Monday to mourn the weekend ending.

This is the kind of look that actually survives a full day — sitting, walking, errands, dinner plans, all of it. Nothing digging, pulling, or needing to be adjusted every five minutes 🙌

Everything is true to size and easy to mix with pieces already in your closet. Linking all the details here ✨
