It’s hard to believe, but the start of the school year is here for many of us! It’s such a busy time, and as moms, we’re preoccupied preparing backpacks, thinking about school lunches, getting spaces ready to display the abundance of kids artwork that will soon be on its way to us, and working our way down the to-do lists. As the saying goes, you can’t take care of others if you’re not first taking care of yourself which of course, true “self care” is way more than shopping, but making sure you have your own ducks in a row (and cute outfits picked out) can go a long way! So consider this your nudge to do a little back-to-school shopping for yourself!
If you’re looking for a cute and easy outfit to throw on for Meet the Teacher Night, school pickup, etc., I’ve got you covered. Get those first-day-of school pictures of your kids and then be sure to hop into them too! I’ve rounded up some of my favorite new arrivals, as well as some tried-and-true styles that I own and love. All of these items are currently available in extended sizes and at a variety of price points, so there’s a little something for everyone!
$35 Target Dress
This Target maxi dress is the dress that just keeps giving! I have gotten so much wear out of this one. I love the classic shirt dress style and also the comfy and flattering cinched waist. Available in some great color options and extended sizes I wear the XXL as I’d say it is cut generously.
Tuckernuck BTS Favorites
It is no secret that Tuckernuck is a go-to brand for me year-round and it remains one of the most shopped brands by y’all as well – for good reason. I have previously shared some of my red, white, and blue favorites and fall favorites from this brand that could definitely work for back-to-school season, and there are even more new releases as well. As always, the quality of Tuckernuck items is such that they remain in my closet year after year holding up even with lots of wear. In my opinion, they are worth every penny, and I appreciate their commitment to continuously offering extended sizes and styles for diverse body types.

Blue and White BTS Styles
You know my blue and white loving heart can’t resist adding this category into my BTS outfits for moms. It’s just such a classic combo! And speaking of classic, how wonderful is this short sleeve shirt dress? I love it so much and the windowpane check is a timeless textile I can’t get enough of. This blue striped shirt is currently on sale, and I own and love the chambray dress in another color way.
Chic & Easy BTS Outfits
I’m wrapping up these BTS outfits for moms with a few more chic and easy styles. These are all dresses you can quickly throw on and go, (many with pockets) plus a tried and true classic pair of jeans! The floral wrap dress and lavender wrap dress are currently on sale however that may not last for long. The beautiful royal blue midi dress is under $60 and the smocked blue and white midi dress and the striped mini dress are both under $80.
