Thanksgiving outfit ideas
Thanksgiving is right around the corner and even though this year’s holiday season might look a little different than usual, I still wanted to share some cute Thanksgiving outfit ideas.  I’m looking forward to Thanksgiving this year.  We will be celebrating with family at a small gathering and to be honest, I can’t wait to pick out my outfit!  For those of you who are keeping your gatherings even smaller and just celebrating at home with your immediate family, I always find that a cute outfit will help brighten your day and help you enjoy your holiday no matter the circumstances.

How to Style Black Jeans

November 10, 2020 by Katie Haller

How to style black jeans #blackjeans
I’ve always loved having a good pair of black jeans to have in my closet.  They are so easy to dress up, yet they are still casual because they are denim, not dress pant material.  They are an important fall and winter wardrobe staple for me.

No Buy New November Challenge

November 1, 2020 by Katie Haller

A challenge to help you spend less money

 I shared last week over on Instagram that I want to do a challenge for the month of November.  For the entire month of November, I am not going to buy anything new for myself.  This includes; Clothes, shoes, and accessories.  Because I love to shop and I feel like it would be too difficult for me to completely cut myself off from shopping, I am going to allow myself to shop at only second-hand stores in November.  I’m going to use the hashtag #nobuynewnovember when I share my outfits on Instagram and I’d love it if you would join me!

My Style Journey- How I Found Confidence In What I Wore

I believe that anyone can achieve great style.  When you have style, you have confidence.  It doesn’t mean that you have to have the most expensive or trendy clothes.  Style is defined as expressing yourself through what you wear.  We all can express ourselves through our clothes.  Everyone has their own personal style even if you don’t think you do.  Knowing how to work with your own personal style is another thing that sometimes takes time to find.

9 Mom-Friendly Outfits With Faux Leather Leggings

Mom-friendly outfit with faux leather leggings #fauxleatherleggings #leggings

 As a stay at home mom, I wear leggings a lot.  When I have no plans to leave the house, I usually stay in my leggings all day long because they are way more comfortable than jeans.  I’ve been wanting to step up my leggings for a while and branch out from my normal black leggings.  I’ve been eyeing faux leather leggings for a couple years now and last winter I started to really love the look of them, but I was pregnant.  I wasn’t going to buy a maternity pair of faux leather leggings and I also didn’t want to buy a pair that I could barely fit into.  Now that I have officially retired all my maternity leggings, I figured I would buy a pair of faux leather leggings to see how I like them, and guess what?  I love them!!  Read more

Early Fall Outfit Review

 It’s been a while since I’ve rounded up my outfits and shared them in a blog post.  The truth is, it’s been a while since I’ve loved all the outfits that I wore.  It’s going on 4 months since I gave birth and I’m so happy that I am starting to feel like my old self again.  My clothes are fitting and even though things aren’t exactly where I’d like them to be, I feel good in my clothes again and that’s what matters.  I could probably go on and on about postpartum weight loss and fall clothes and how wearing a cute outfit makes my day, but today I’m going to try to make this post short and I’ll just get to the outfits for now.
