Helping women love what they wear on a budget

What I Wore Then vs. What I Wore Now

October 13, 2021 by Katie Haller

 

Processed with MOLDIV
A few weeks ago I was scrolling through Instagram and saw a post from one of my favorite style bloggers Merrick’s Art.  (If you are not following this blog you need to!! She shares the best style tips!!) She has a series on Instagram where she takes outfits that she wore in the past and updates them to how she would style them now.  This post gave me an amazing idea for a blog post series.  I want to take some of the outfits that I shared in my early days of blogging and show you how I would style that same look now with updated pieces in my wardrobe.

Mini Fall Weekend Wardrobe Capsule- 10 Pieces, 10 Outfits

October 5, 2021 by Katie Haller

Mini Fall Weekend Wardrobe Capsule- 10 Pieces, 10 Outfits
I wanted to do a wardrobe capsule this fall, but the time just slipped away from me.  That’s why instead of doing a full fall wardrobe capsule, I decided to break it down and just focus on a casual weekend wardrobe full of some of my favorite staples that are in my closet this fall.  Hopefully, it will give you a few outfit ideas and you may even find a few new wardrobe pieces to add to your closet this fall.

Real-Life Mom Outfit of the day round up for September
 Can you believe that September is over already?  Where is this year going?  One goal of mine as we move forward to the end of the year is to get back into my monthly “outfit of the day” round-up posts.  I started doing more this summer, but I’d like to stay consistent and share them at the end of every month like I use to.

Old Navy Fall Try-On Haul 2021

 I don’t know about you, but I always feel like Old Navy is at its best in the fall!  I love to see all the new trends and styles this time of the year.  I also get excited when they bring back some of my favorite staples.  Last year I did a fall Old Navy try-on post (Post HERE) and so this year I thought it would be fun to do it again!

6 Cute and Comfy Work-From-Home Outfits

6 Cute and Comfy Work From Home Outfits

 I have recently had some requests to share some work-from-home outfits.  Many people were working from home before the pandemic happened, but now there are more people than ever who are still working from home.  I know that just within my own family, most of them are working remotely from home.  I feel like there are both pros and cons to working from home.  The pros for me would be that there is no commute, you are in the comfort of your own home and you get to create your own schedule.  The biggest cons for me would be staying focused and motivated all day.

We Are Moving…Again!

September 21, 2021 by Katie Haller

Yes, it’s true, we are moving… again.  I feel like I just wrote a moving announcement post, but I guess that was over 2 years ago.  2 years seems to be the average amount of time that we stay in one place, so I guess it makes sense that we are packing up and moving again.  This time we aren’t going too far.  We are heading back to the East side of Michigan to be closer to our family.
