Helping women love what they wear on a budget

What I Wore- Living Out of a Suitcase

February 1, 2015 by Katie Haller

I’m going on week three of living out of my suitcase.  It’s not an ideal situation, but I’m doing my best with wearing what I packed.  I’ve never been great at packing.  I would call myself an over-packer.  I tend to want to bring my entire closet with me when I travel, but we all know that’s not possible.  It wasn’t an easy task packing a month’s worth of clothes into 2 suitcases.  Both needing to meet the airline’s weight policy for checked bags, which is 40 pounds apiece. Luckily, I just made the cut.

I’ve been trying to repeat my clothes as much as possible to keep my laundry load down.  I have a few favorite key pieces that I’ve been getting a lot of use out of.  Some are new, while others I’ve had in my closet for a while.

Here are a few of my favorites from this week…

  1. My Navy Blazer from Target (similar)- I found this blazer at Target online back in the fall.  It was $29.99, which is at the top of my price range, but it was something I had been wanting for a long time, plus I had a gift card.  Since it’s been a bit chilly in Nevada, this blazer has been the perfect jacket to style up my casual outfits. 
  2. My Coral Necklace from Charming Charlie (similar)- I found this necklace a week ago at Charming Charlie on clearance for $7.99.  I just love a statement necklace! It can really dress up any outfit.  As you will see, I’m kind of obsessed with this necklace.
  3. My coral leather Coach purse (similar)- I’m in love with my new purse!  My aunt surprised me with a beautiful new coral Coach leather purse for Christmas this year.  She knows how I have a love for Coach purses, and she also knows I won’t go buy one for myself, so she wanted to get me one.  It’s the perfect size for traveling and the color goes great in the desert. 
  4. My beige top from Kohl’s (Similar)- I found this top at Kohl’s in the clearance section for $6.  It’s lightweight and perfect for the weather right now in Las Vegas.  It’s light enough to layer under a blazer or just wear it on its own. 
  5. My nude ballet flats (similar)- I found these on clearance at Target for $8.99.  I’ve been looking for a new pair of flats for a while and these were the perfect price. 
So here are a few of my looks from the week..
Beige top- Kohl’s
Coral necklace- Charming Charlie
Jeans- LC Lauren Conrad
Flats- Target
Purse- Coach

I wasn't sure what to post today. I was debating b I wasn't sure what to post today. I was debating between a picture or a reel, but then I found this picture on my camera roll and I couldn't resist. My little photo bomber is always trying to make her way into my photos. 😜 

This is just a friendly reminder that you never know what or who is behind the Instagram feed.

We are having a snuggle kind of day. Seasonal alle We are having a snuggle kind of day. Seasonal allergies are hitting both my littles. They aren't sick enough to be sick, but feel yucky enough to be whiny and clingy. Hopefully it will pass soon. For now, my lap is the most popular seat in the house.
