Helping women love what they wear on a budget

Effortless Style with Pink Blush

December 1, 2017 by Katie Haller

This week has been one of those long, busy, exhausting weeks that I’m just happy to get through.   My in-laws came into town for Thanksgiving and we had a fun long weekend visiting with them, but Monday hit me hard.  Sometimes when I have a long period of time off work, I forget that I have a job.  I went back to work this week with a ton of parent-teacher conferences that needed to be done by the end of the week, paperwork that needed to be turned in and of course 16 crazy 4 and 5-year-olds who had been off school for a whole week. 


It didn’t help that my toddler has been waking up in the middle of the night screaming his head off every night, which means I’ve been sleeping at least 3 hours of the night in a toddler bed.  He’s also started the terrible two’s, even though he still has 2 months to go until he’s officially a 2-year-old, so it’s just been hard to keep him satisfied.

It’s weeks like this that has me at a loss for what to wear in the morning.  I think a lot of moms feel this way and that’s how so many of us get into a rut with our wardrobe.  I love planning out what I’m going to wear every day, but this week I was just lucky to blow dry my hair before work.  Instead of picking out accessories and figuring out which shoes would look best, I was holding a cranky baby putting on makeup with one hand (I’m getting pretty good at this skill.)  Weeks like this make me so thankful for a store like PinkBlush.
I’m always able to find trendy fun tops that fit perfectly into my everyday wardrobe at PinkBlush.  This grey hooded lace trim sweater saved me this week when I was at a loss for what to wear.  There’s no need to worry about what kinds of accessories to wear with it because it’s perfect on its own.  I love that it has the look of a cozy sweatshirt, but it’s lightweight and not bulky.  For work this week, I wore this sweater with jeans, but when I’m home on the weekends I like to stay comfy in my leggings and that’s how I styled this look today.

Hopefully, next week will be a little less hectic, but at least I have a go-to sweater to wear.

    I love PinkBlush so much, I always feel great in whatever I'm wearing from them! The lace trim on that sweater is the perfect touch.

    I love them too! Everything fits so well! I love the lace trim too. That’s what drew me to this sweater.
