Helping women love what they wear on a budget

The Most Versatile Summer Sandals

June 6, 2022 by Katie H.

How to wear summer sandals

To splurge or not to splurge, that is the question, or at least that’s a question that I get asked from time to time. Can you splurge on fashion and still have an affordable wardrobe? If your budget allows it then, of course, it’s okay to splurge! Before you make a splurge purchase it’s important to think about the value that the item will hold in your wardrobe. If the value is high, meaning you will wear it all the time in multiple ways and it makes you feel good wearing it, then go for it!

How to Wear Overalls Over 35

May 23, 2022 by Katie H.

How to wear short overalls

I haven’t owned a pair of overalls since 8th grade, so when I saw that they were making a comeback, I was hesitant to join in on the trend. For a long time, I didn’t think I was cool enough or young enough to pull off overalls as an adult, but this is why I never say never when it comes to fashion because here I am buying overalls at 37.

How to Make Better Instagram Reels in 2022

May 13, 2022 by Katie H.

Instagram reels

In 2021, Instagram announced that they are no longer a photo-sharing app and wants to be thought of as an entertainment-sharing app. This announcement sent many content creators through the roof. For years we have all been trying to create the perfect curated Instagram feed. But now we are supposed to be entertainers and create video content.

Comfortable & Affordable Bra Review

May 9, 2022 by Katie H.

Affordable bra review

To me, one very important wardrobe staple to own is a good bra! I believe that what you wear under your outfit can completely make or break the look. If you feel uncomfortable in the wrong bra or you keep having to adjust yourself throughout the day, you’re not going to love what you are wearing as much.  That’s why today I wanted to dedicate my posts to comfortable and affordable bras.
