Helping women love what they wear on a budget

Baby Girl is One!!!

June 18, 2021 by Katie Haller

My baby girl has turned one and I can’t believe how fast the year has gone.  I wasn’t sure how I would feel about this big milestone, but I am actually feeling really excited about having a one-year-old.  Knowing that Anna is my last baby has given me a sense of peace and contentment that I didn’t feel the first time around.  It has allowed me to really enjoy and take in every stage of this first year.  I’ve just loved watching her grow and become her own little person.

What I Wore in Las Vegas: Cute Easy Vacation Outfits to Copy

June 8, 2021 by Katie Haller

 

What I wore in Las Vegas

Last week, Kevin and I snuck off to Las Vegas to celebrate our 10-year wedding anniversary.  It was our first vacation in over a year and the first time we left both kids overnight anywhere.  It was a much-needed getaway for us after this long pandemic year. Today I want to share a little about our trip and what I wore in Las Vegas!

Walmart Finds- Free Assembly Memorial Day Look

May 24, 2021 by Katie Haller

 
It’s no secret that Walmart has really stepped up their game in the fashion business over the last few years.  They went from a store that people felt embarrassed about buying their clothes from, to a store that people proudly clothes shop at and share their finds all over the internet.  I hugely support what they are doing on the fashion front.  They are selling affordable stylish clothes that everyone has access to, no matter how big or small their budget may be.  I have shopped at Walmart here and there over the years, but now that I am doing the majority of my shopping online,  Walmart has become one of my top 5 stores that I shop for clothes at.

Casual Mom Summer Wardrobe Capsule

May 20, 2021 by Katie Haller

 

 
 Summer is all about slowing down and not taking life so seriously.  We all get out of our normal routine a little in the summertime.  Kids are out of school, there’s more vacations and we’re outside more often.  Our wardrobe usually shifts to the casual side.  I like to keep my summer outfits easy.  I don’t like to think about it, so it’s always nice to have a wardrobe full of casual summer staples.
  I’ve never done an actual wardrobe capsule on this blog, but I wanted to try it out.  That’s why I have put together a casual 21 piece mom-friendly summer wardrobe capsule.  These are all my summer essentials that will help you put together easy causal mom-friendly outfits.

Trends to Try- Paper Bag Pants

May 10, 2021 by Katie Haller

Paper Bag Pants

I don’t know about you, but this last year has put me into an outfit rut.  I am so stuck in my comfy lounge wear clothes that it’s hard sometimes for me to switch it up and actually wear real clothes.  I love creating outfits and sharing them on the blog, but when the time comes to actually put together an outfit to go somewhere in, I just can’t decided. I always end up wearing the same thing which is usually something really comfortable.  Now that the weather is getting warmer and we are actually leaving the house more, I am trying to wear more of my clothes and get creative with my outfits again.  It’s time to leave my comfy clothes behind and step up my outfits.
