Helping women love what they wear on a budget

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.

What to Pack for a Trip to Las Vegas

 My husband and I are going on a trip in a few weeks to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary.  It’s something that we have been wanting to do for a while, but with the pandemic, we weren’t sure if we were going to be able to get away this year.  Luckily things are all working out for us and we have planned a trip to Las Vegas.Read more

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.

Affordable Mom-Friendly Bathing Suits from Amazon

May 4, 2021 by Katie Haller

Affordable Mom-Friendly Bathing Suits on Amazon

 I’m not going to lie, I don’t love the idea of having pictures of myself in bathing suits floating around the internet, but I do love helping other women find affordable bathing suits that they will feel great in. This June my baby will be a year old which means my body will hit a year of being postpartum just in time for bathing suit season.  Although I don’t mind the mom body I have been left with after having 2 kids, there are still certain areas I’d feel more comfortable keeping covered up.  Read more

Affordable Mom-Friendly Denim Shorts

Affordable Mom-Friendly Denim Shorts

Denim shorts are an important wardrobe staple that I don’t think should be ignored.  I love denim shorts, but I’ve always struggled finding the right pair.  So many denim shorts in stores are made for teenagers and I’m defiantly not looking for the same fit of denim shorts I wore when I was younger.  I want something high waisted, not too short or too tight.  Something with distressing, but not too distressed.  I want one pair of denim shorts that I can wear with anything in my wardrobe.  I was thrilled that I was finally able to find that perfect pair of denim shorts.

How to Style a Spring Moto Jacket

April 21, 2021 by Katie Haller

Hi Friends!  I am pretty excited about todays outfit post.  With the weather finally warming up I’ve been trying to get more outfit photos done outside.  I take all my photos myself and it’s not always easy to find a spot I feel comfortable setting up my tripod and taking pictures in an outfit, but I’ve been scoping out a few places and testing them out.  It helps having Anna as my little assistant in her stroller.  She makes me feel a little more comfortable in front of the camera and always makes me smile.
