How to Style Dressy Joggers

September 13, 2021 by Katie Haller

How to Style Dressy Joggers
I am a huge fan of joggers, but one thing I struggle with joggers is that I don’t always feel very put together when I wear them.  They are always comfy and always my go-to at home, but when I leave the house change into jeans or leggings. (If you want to see some put together looks with joggers check out my post HERE!)

Favorite Summer Outfit Recap

September 6, 2021 by Katie Haller

Affordable end of summer outfit round up

It’s Labor Day, which means summer is now coming to an end.  I always feel like this time of the year is bittersweet.  I love fall and I am excited about cooler weather and getting back into a routine, but I also hate to see the summer go.  I know that the cold weather and winter are right around the corner so it’s best to enjoy all the warm days while you can.

How to Wear a Statement Blouse

How to Wear a Statement Blouse
You may have noticed that the blog has been a little quiet over the last couple of weeks.  That is because life has been a little crazy over here lately.  I had no idea that the end of the summer would be such a busy/stressful time of year for a mom.  Preparing Jack for kindergarten and trying to cram in all the last-minute summer activities has been a lot.  That’s why I needed to not worry about blog content and just focus on other things.

8 Years of Blogging Q&A

August 31, 2021 by Katie Haller

8 Years of Blogging Q&A

    Today is my blogaversary.  Yes, that’s a made-up word, but it’s my blog’s birthday and I want to celebrate it!   Eight years ago I published my first blog post on Thrifty Wife Happy Life.  It had no pictures, no links, and I had no expectations that anyone would actually read it.  I had no idea what I was doing.  I just knew that I had something I wanted to share and I wanted an outlet for it.

9 Stylish Thrifted Teacher Outfits

August 9, 2021 by Katie Haller

 

 
Want to know what I think the best part of being a teacher is?  No, it’s not having summers off!  It’s the dress code!  I always feel like teachers have the best dress code!  That’s probably why I follow so many teacher accounts on Instagram.  It’s business casual, yet you get to be a little more creative than other workplaces.  I know that when I was a teacher, I always looked forward to what I was going to wear to work.  I always had fun with my outfits.

My Everyday Skincare Routine with Maelove

My Everyday Skincare Routine with Maelove

Over the last few years, I have made it a point to make my skincare routine a priority in my life.  I used to be the girl who thought a quick makeup wipe before bed was all you needed, but as I got older I realized just how important a good skincare routine can be.  I now look forward to my skincare routine every day.  It’s a form of self-care for me and it only takes a few minutes out of my day.
