4 Fall Trends to Try to Make You Feel More Stylish

September 30, 2020 by Katie Haller

Fall trends to try #fall #falloutfits

 Do you ever find a cute outfit you like on Pinterest or Instagram and think, I really love this look, but I could never pull it off? I know I do that all the time.  I sometimes worry that I might be too old to wear something or it might look dumb on me.  I think we all do that though.  Lately, I’ve been trying to take more risks with my outfits.  I’m not doing anything too crazy, just trying a few new styles to see how I like them.  If it’s not for me, I don’t keep them, but what I’ve been finding out is that I am really loving the new fashion risks I’m trying out.

9 Fall Outfit Ideas With White Jeans

9 fall outfit ideas with white jeans*This post contains affiliate links, which means by clicking on and/or making a purchase through a link I earn a commission for this blog.  Thank you for your support! 

I have never been a believer in the silly fashion rule that white can’t be worn after Labor Day.  Why not?  I believe that white is a year-round color, especially when it comes to a good pair of white jeans.  I’ve styled white jeans in a couple previous posts (HERE and HERE), but I wanted to do an updated post of how I’m wearing my white jeans this fall.

I don’t typically do try-on haul blog posts.  I usually save that sort of thing for Instagram and LiketoKnow.it, but I figured since I’ve made 2 recent trips to Old Navy in the last week I might as well share all my finds in a blog post.  Especially since I was so excited that they have their fitting rooms opened again!

10 Timeless Fall Wardrobe Staples

September 10, 2020 by Katie Haller

10 Timeless Fall Wardrobe Staples #fallwardrobe #wardrobestaples
I have to say, I hate to see summer go, but I’m always looking forward to some fall fashion.  It’s the best when it starts to cool off just a bit and you’re able to throw on some extra layers and wear long pants comfortably again.  What I’ve learned over the years is that there are certain items in my closet that never go out of style.  Having a wardrobe filled with timeless wardrobe staples can help you mix and match your outfits and save you money in the long run.

6 Ways to Style a Leopard T-shirt

August 31, 2020 by Katie Haller

6 ways to style a leopard t-shirt #leopard #leopardtshirt
To me, nothing says fall like a little leopard in my outfit.  I love adding a pop of leopard here and there.  Lately, I’ve been moving beyond my leopard accessories and trying out more leopard clothing pieces.  I recently got this leopard long sleeve crew neck t-shirt from Amazon.  I always get worried about having too much leopard in my outfit, but I find this shirt to not be as overwhelming with the print as it seems.  By adding in different layering pieces you can break down the print if it’s too much.  I like that it’s not too heavy, so it’s great to wear in early fall, then as it gets colder it will be nice to layer under my cardigans.Read more

6 Work Outfit Ideas With Paper-Bag Pants

August 24, 2020 by Katie Haller

Work outfit ideas with paper bag pants #workoutfitideas #paperbagpants

I have to say that I am really loving being a stay-at-home-mom right now.  It’s so great being available all the time for my kids and not having to worry about my maternity leave ending soon.  It wasn’t an easy adjustment for me at first.  I really loved being a working mom too. There are some days where I really miss starting my morning early and heading to work.  I loved being a preschool teacher.  I loved the kids, I loved my co-workers, but most of all I loved planning out my work outfits.  Call me crazy, but I loved planning out what I was going to wear for the workweek.  I’d plan out my outfits for the week in advance.  I’d always try to mix and match my clothes the best I could and wear something new each day.  I always felt that when you are working with the same people every day, you start to learn their wardrobe.  That’s why I always tried to wear something a little different each day.Read more
