If you would have asked me 10 years ago if I would ever wear “mom jeans” I would have laughed and said no way!  I always remember seeing the mom jeans SNL skit and laughing thinking how ridiculous my mom looked back in the ’90s wearing high-waisted mom jeans.  Well, here I am at 36 wearing mom jeans and absolutely loving them.Read more

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

Finding your personal style #personalstyle

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

*This post contains affiliate links which means if you click on and/or make a purchase through a link in my post, I will earn a commission for this blog.  Thank you for your support! 

 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
