Helping women love what they wear on a budget

2 Affordable Sweater Dresses from Amazon

November 15, 2021 by Katie Haller

Styling 2 affordable sweater dresses from Amazon

This fall I have had a bunch of requests to style sweater dresses.  Sweater dresses can be great to wear in the winter months because they are warm and cozy, but they can also be tricky to find new ways to wear.  I am not a big fan of sweater dresses.  I use to have one sweater dress a long time ago, but I never felt the urge to buy another one.  I find them to be overly warm and last year when I was breastfeeding they were completely out of the question for me.  This year I decided to give them a go and see what I could find.

Trends to Try- Faux Leather

Trends to Try- Faux Leather
If you haven’t jumped on the faux leather trend yet, then it’s probably time that you at least start to consider it. It took me a while to get into faux leather.  I find it a little edgy for my style, but I finally decided to give it a go a couple of years ago and I am glad I did.  This isn’t a trend I see going anywhere anytime soon!  Today I want to share with you 3 faux leather clothing pieces that you can add to your closet to give this trend a try.

Holiday Gift Guides for Kids

November 7, 2021 by Katie Haller

 Christmas is so fun when you have little kids.  Of course, you want to give them the world, but you also want them to learn that Christmas isn’t all about gifts.  Material items only go so far so last year when I was trying to figure out what to buy my kids for Christmas I reached out to my Instagram followers for suggestions on how to simplify the holidays and not go overboard on kid gifts.  The one suggestion that really stuck with me was to give your child something they want, something they need, and something to read.  I thought that was a great idea and that’s why this year I wanted to break down my gift guides that way.

Real-Life Mom Outfit of the Day Roundup- October

Real-Life Mom Outfit of the Day Roundup- October

I can’t believe that another month has past and it’s time to do another real-mom outfit of the day roundup.  I honestly never know what to call these posts.  I use to call them “What I Wore” posts, then I would say monthly posts.  Lately, I have just been referring to them as real-life mom outfit-of-the-day roundups because that’s what they are.  They are the real everyday outfits that I wear.  I love putting together outfits, but when it comes to actually getting a chance to wear every outfit that I style for the blog it’s hard.  I just don’t have that many exciting places to wear them to.  That’s why I challenge myself every day to put on something that I feel good in.

How to Style Staight-leg Jeans in 2021

October 27, 2021 by Katie Haller

 Straight-leg jeans seem to be a hot topic at the moment.  Ever since this idea that you are old if you still wear skinny jeans came about, everyone either seems to be running out and getting straight-leg jeans or holding their ground strong and refusing to wear them.  Now I am not saying that I will be getting rid of my skinny jeans any time soon.  I still prefer them over straight-leg jeans, but I do like to have a variety of jeans in my wardrobe.  This helps my outfits stay fresh.

9 Fall Outfit Ideas With a Plaid Shirt

 9 Fall Outfit Ideas With a Plaid Shirt

October is the best month of the fall season in my opinion!  Football, Cider Mills, Pumpkin carving, Halloween!  It’s always a fun month.  I feel like there is no better wardrobe staple to have in October than a plaid shirt.  It’s even better if you can find a plaid shirt that goes with everything in your wardrobe!
