August Summer Outfits + 6 Years of Blogging

September 1, 2019 by Katie Haller

Can you believe it’s September?  Where did the summer go?  At the beginning of the year, I made a promise to do a round-up post at the end of every month to share my everyday real-life outfits.  Well, between my move and adjusting to my new lifestyle, I’ve been bad at documenting my outfits.  Without having to wake up early and leave the house every day, I feel like my creativity in my outfits has been lacking.  I’m just trying to figure out how to keep that motivation going, even on the days I’m just hanging around the house.  I feel like sharing my daily outfits helps me motivate myself to try a little harder when getting ready.  So I will do my best to keep up with my real-life outfits.

Green Amazon Dress- From Summer to Fall

How to style a summer dress to fall
Even though we still have a few more weeks of summer weather ahead of us, I can’t help but start to get an itch for fall fashion.  I love transitional fall outfits.  My ideal weather for dressing is about 70 degrees.  It’s the type of weather that you can still wear dresses and flats, but it’s nice to layer up with a cardigan.  Read more

6 Ways to Wear Cropped Flare Jeans

6 Ways to Wear Cropped Flare Jeans
If you follow along with me on Instagram, I’m sure you have seen me sharing all my end-of-summer clearance finds.  I love shopping at the end of summer, the only problem is that it makes me mad when I see things I’ve already bought go down in price.  I hate missing out on a deal, but that’s okay because sometimes I catch the deals.  For example, early in the spring, I tried on these light-washed cropped flare jeans at Old Navy.  I thought they were super cute, but they were full price so I passed on them. A couple of weeks ago while at Old Navy to scope out my fall wishlist, I found the jeans again.  This time the price tag said $11.21!  I decided to buy them, because not only are they super cute for spring and summer, but I also feel like they could be worn into the early fall.

Today I’m updating a longtime favorite look with a maxi dress that has a little more shape and structure—but still has all the things I loved about the original. Same formula (maxi + denim jacket), just a bit more refined.
