This guide has been updated for Summer 2026. Every summer, I start from scratch because fashion moves fast. The best pieces sell out, retailers discontinue styles, and there’s nothing more frustrating than falling in love with something that’s gone by the next season. So no—this isn’t last year’s guide with a new date slapped on…
This post was originally published previously and has been updated for Amazon Prime Day 2026 with current product recommendations, pricing, and availability.

Your feelings are normal and valid and it’s important to acknowledge them. When we blow them off or try to block them, those same feelings tend to linger on and intensify.
Does anyone else wish we could press fast forward on Summer 2020?
With camps & pools closed & all summer activities canceled due to Coronavirus, our only real respite from the claustrophobia of quarantining for months indoors is time spent “socially distanced” in the great outdoors. So of course, it’s literally the most uncomfortable summer ever here in Michigan with weeks on end of 90+ degree temps & high humidity. Ugh! Can’t we catch a break?

My husband and I love going to all-inclusive resorts in Mexico. The weather is always perfect, and we get to truly relax without having to really plan or think.
Pools & beaches can be extremely anxiety provoking, so I try to make what I wear over my afos as comfortable and as easy to get on and off as possible.

My go-to on vacations (and all summer long) are cute & comfy pull-on jumpsuits and maxi dresses in lightweight and breathable materials.
The Holiday Season isn’t all jingle bells and sleigh rides when you have an invisible disability. As temps begin falling and your calendar starts filling, the stress and worry about how the hell you’ll make it through it all, rears it’s Scrooge like head.
