3 Ways to Style Leopard Paper Bag Shorts

August 10, 2020 by Katie Haller

3 ways to style leopard paper bag shorts
I have a friend who is always giving me great content for my blog.  She often will text me when she needs help picking out an outfit for something, whether it be for church or vacation.  Recently, she texted me to ask what you would wear out for dinner with a friend as an adult.  Haha, we are not used to going out with friends, so sometimes you just get stumped.  I thought about it, and I feel that a pair of paper bag shorts are perfect for a summer dinner date out with a friend.  You can dress them down or dress them up.  These types of shorts are my favorite shorts for summer by far!Read more

Postpartum Summer Outfits

July 22, 2020 by Katie Haller

Postpartum nursing-friendly summer outfits
It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything fashion-related posts on here, so I figured today I’d share a few of my favorite postpartum summer outfits.  I completely forgot how busy life can get with a newborn.  They eat and poop around the clock.  Add a busy 4-year-old to the mix and your outfits get put on hold.  That’s why I’ve been pretty much rotated through the same outfits over the last month or so.  I’ve mostly just been wearing rompers and jumpsuits every day.  I love them because they are cute, comfortable, and effortless.  They take no thought to throw on with a pair of sandals and you can call it a day.  I’ve also been loving anything with buttons and pockets.  Buttons are perfect for nursing and the pockets are great for putting pacifiers and other necessities that I don’t have enough hands to carry with a baby in them.

4 ways to style one dress- from summer to fall
 I’m so happy that it’s March and spring is near, but here in the midwest it still feels like winter.  I don’t expect spring weather to get here any time soon.  That’s why I thought I’d do a blog post today on stying a new dress in my wardrobe for both winter and spring.

Easy date night outfits wearing snakeskin booties
Winter has always been a hard season for me to dress for.  It’s long, cold and I always find myself getting into a rut with my outfits.  I don’t mind repeating my clothes, but when I continue to wear the same clothes over and over again, I get bored.

My Top 10 Favorite Finds of 2019

January 1, 2020 by Katie Haller

Top 10 Favorite Finds of 2019
As a girl who loves to shop, I try not to be a shopaholic or a wasteful shopper.  I try to be mindful of each purchase I make throughout the year.  I keep an ongoing wish list in the notes on my phone to limit the number of impulse buys I make.  I also try to be as budget-friendly as I can when I shop.  I strive to stay under $50 on each shopping trip or online order and I try to limit the amount of shopping I do. I don’t keep a record of my purchases throughout the year, but I think it’s something that I’m going to do this next coming year.  I think it would be nice to see on paper how much I actually spend throughout the year.
