Thrifty Wife Happy Life

Helping women love what they wear on a budget

Year of Color- Blue Dress

September 15, 2017 by Katie Haller

Thrifty Wife, Happy Life || Blue shirt dress || Teacher outfit

It’s time for another Year of Color link up!  This month’s color is blue!

 Blue is one of my favorite colors to wear.  Some of my most favorite dresses that I’ve ever worn were blue.  September is my birthday month, and my birthstone, the Sapphire, has always been one of my favorite stones.  For today’s blue look, I picked out this Old Navy Sapphire blue shirt dress.  I love the style of this dress.  I used to wear it all the time at my old job with a business casual dress code, and now I can still style it down with a denim jacket and some flats and wear it to my casual dress code at my current job.  It’s a great teacher dress to wear in the classroom!  It’s also perfect for church.  Another plus about this style of dress is that it’s great for breastfeeding moms, especially if you’re pumping at work.

    Super cute dress! Blue is just about my favorite color – so much so that I need to remind myself to buy some other colors too 🙂

Tomorrow is the first day of spring and according Tomorrow is the first day of spring and according to my 7-year-old we won’t need to wear boots or snow pants to school anymore. 🤣 I really hope he’s right because I am getting really sick of my winter clothes! 

I had to take a little break from sharing my daily SAHM outfits because I feel like the weather isn’t allowing me to wear what I want to wear. I am doing my best to fight through these last couple months of cold weather with my outfits. 

Here’s what I wore Friday-Monday (my outfits got better as the week went on) Which is your favorite?

It’s time for another “what I wore then vs. wh It’s time for another “what I wore then vs. what I wore then” post. This week I am updating this pencil skirt outfit that I wore to work in 2014. There is nothing wrong with a classic black pencil skirt, but I am switching my pints from the top to the bottom with this printed pencil skirt. 

Can we also have a moment of silence for the big bubble necklaces. I loved my green bubble necklace. It always put a pop of color into any outfit, but I am kind of glad that we moved away from big statement necklace. They aren’t very easy to wear around little kids. 🤣 Instead of a statement necklace I added some color in with some statement bracelets.
