Mother of three under twelve, Jessica Tackett meets every summer moment in style.

Jessica and her family retreat to their lake house on Pickwick Lake during the summer months, where active mornings on the water blend into relaxed afternoons on the deck. Her boys love tubing, skiing, kayaking, and fishing, and while she enjoys time suntanning on the deck with her sisters, she’s just as likely to join in on the action—moving easily between laid-back lounging and time on the water.

From dock to dinner, Jessica’s summer style is made for busy lake days. Her go-to look? An easy top and shorts. Elle Birmingham has options that take lake-goers from sunup to sundown—whether it’s a top-and-shorts set or a dress for whatever the evening brings. 

“It’s funny—our generations have kind of flip-flopped,” Jessica says. Coming from a family mostly of women, she and her two sisters are now raising the opposite: one sister has two boys, and the other has two boys and a girl. 

“At the lakehouse, it's gone from let's go suntan on the deck to let's go fishing and kayaking,” Jessica laughs. The days shift between relaxation and adventure, and Jessica likes to stay somewhere in between, with an outfit for every adventure the lake has in store.
