Helping women love what they wear on a budget

4 Ways to Style One Dress- From Winter to Spring

March 2, 2020 by Katie Haller

4 ways to style one dress- from summer to fall
 I’m so happy that it’s March and spring is near, but here in the midwest it still feels like winter.  I don’t expect spring weather to get here any time soon.  That’s why I thought I’d do a blog post today on stying a new dress in my wardrobe for both winter and spring.

A couple of weeks ago I visited a little consignment store near my house called Rosa’s Closet.  Although it didn’t have maternity clothes, I knew I would be able to find something that was bump-friendly that I could wear this year before and after the baby comes.  I ended up finding this olive green swing dress.  This color has always been one of my go-to colors when I want to step away from all the neutral tones I wear.  I also thought that the color would be great for March with St. Patrick’s Day right around the corner.

Today I have 2 ways to wear this spring dress when the weather is still cold and 2 ways to wear it after it warms up.

I don’t share my husband much on here, but this I don’t share my husband much on here, but this trend felt like a fun way to look back at our story! I had to dig deep on Facebook for some of these photos! 💕

He was the one who told me that shopping wasn’t a hobby and I needed to find a free hobby to keep me busy when we were first married. 😅 So I started a blog about living life to the fullest and dressing my best on a super tight budget.

Little did we know that “free hobby” would not only one day turn into my job, but it would also be a way to fund my shopping habit. Even helping me become a smarter shopper along the way! 😉

Fun fact: The name “Thrifty Wife, Happy Life” came from him. When making big decisions, Kevin always said “happy wife happy life”. So when I was brainstorming a name for my blog that popped into my head and I decided to do a little play on words. The original name I was going to pick was “Katie’s Closet”. I’m glad I went with the name I did!
