Believe it or not summer is almost here along with camps, vacations, and fun in the sun. While we're all busy lining up activities for the kids, it's also a good time to start planning your summer fashion essentials that will keep you looking fashionable, are budget-friendly, and chic while also being functional.

1. Boyfriend Shorts. This style of shorts is trendy, versatile, and perfect for moms. The dark wash is slimming and you can roll them to fit your style. Find this pair of Simply Vera Vera Wang Convertible Denim Boyfriend Shorts at Kohl's for $44.

2. Maxi Dresses & Maxi Skirts. Nothing says easy, breezy, bohemian summer style quite like maxi dresses and skirts. You can find them in every color, size, and price to flatter your body and style. They go from casual to evening with just a few added accessories.
