Helping women love what they wear on a budget

It’s a Girl!!

February 17, 2020 by Katie Haller

Baby girl gender reveal

In case you don’t follow me on Instagram or Facebook, I announced last week that we are having a little girl. Even though I would have been just as happy with another boy, I am thrilled to have a little girl.  I’ve always wanted a boy and a girl, so this is perfect.  I feel like our family will be complete.


Kevin and I are both excited and even though he had his heart set on a baby brother, Jack is happy too.  I can’t wait to see him as a big brother, especially a big brother to a little sister.  Of course, our family is very excited too.  I’m pretty sure they were all secretly hoping for a girl.

I honestly had no idea what to expect at the ultrasound.  At first, I was pretty convinced that it was a boy because I did a couple of those online gender test where you fill out your age and due date and it tells you the gender.  I took a few of those tests in the beginning and they all said, boy.  Then my friend told me to go to the website: momjunction.com.  She said their Chinese gender predictor had been right for everyone she did it for.  I filled it out and it predicted a girl.  Now I don’t necessarily believe any of these old wise tales or gender predictor calendars, but since she’s been spot on with all of our co-workers in the past, I questioned it would be right for me.  Sure enough, it was right.

I have to say the frugal side of me was kind of hoping for a boy so that he could re-wear all Jack’s cute baby outfits, but the girly side of me is super excited about dressing a little girl.  All the fun bows and dresses and pink… it’s exciting!

 

 

I honestly can’t wait to meet this little girl.  Everything seems to feel so real now.  I can’t believe that I will be a mom of 2 in 4 months!  It’s a little scary, but I’m very excited!

I love a black dress, but on its own it’s a litt I love a black dress, but on its own it’s a little boring! Here’s my outfit formal for keeping my summer outfits from falling short! 👇

1️⃣ Create shape and balance! I did this by adding a belt just above my natural waist. 
2️⃣ Add Jewelry. Do not skip this step! No outfit is complete without at least 2 pieces of jewelry. 
3️⃣ Define the style of the outfit with shoes! The style of shoes you pick will define your outfit. Example Sneakers=casual, Heels=dressy, in this case I went with an elevated casual sandal. It’s a step up from casual, but not too dressy. Elevated casual is my personal favorite style because it can go either way. 😉
4️⃣ Complete the look with some accessories! A cute hand bag or sunglasses 😎 

Follow this summer outfit formula to keep all your outfits looking cute and stylish this summer!

I’ve always found thrifting a great way to keep wardrobe fresh without spending a lot of money, but over the last 5 years or so my thrifting strategy has changed from getting the most for my money to intentionally looking for brands and styles that are usually out of my price range at retail prices and finding them for less buying them second hand!
