Summer Styles for Your Ultimate Bucket List
Posted by Shelbie Todd on Jun 25th 2025
Summer is here — and if your family is anything like mine, your calendar is quickly filling up with pool days, zoo trips, weekend getaways, and everything in between. It’s the season of busy days, late bedtimes, and sun-soaked memories.
On our summer bucket list:
- Backyard movie nights
- Checking out some new ice cream shops
- All the outdoor markets
- Summer vacation with the grandparents
- A road trip to explore a new museum
New summer tradition:
We’re starting a “Sunrise Surprise” tradition! One early morning each week week, we wake the kids up for a spontaneous adventure. Donuts and a sunrise walk? Instant core memory. Not to mention, you beat the heat!
Comfort meets style
With kids always on the move, we need outfits that are cute, comfy, and easy to mix and match. Our summer staples include:
- Breezy dresses with biker shorts
- Graphic tees + athletic shorts
- Swimsuits on deck
- Slip on shoes for easy, go-anywhere fun
Why we love Once Upon A Child
Once Upon A Child makes it easy to refresh the kids’ closets without overspending. We can:
- Stock up on like-new summer styles
- Find all the brands we love
- Grab essentials like swimwear, sandals, and sun hats
- Sell last year’s outgrown clothes and save on new ones
Whether we’re chasing bubbles or hitting the splash pad, Once Upon A Child keeps us ready for every adventure.
