4 Ways to Wear Black Slip-On Sneakers

September 19, 2017 by Katie Haller

Thrifty Wife, Happy Life || 4 ways to wear black slip on shoes for fall

If you follow me on Instagram, you may have noticed these black slip-on shoes that I’ve been wearing lately. They were my first purchase from my fall wish list, and I’m just loving how practical they are for fall. I was originally eyeing the Steve Madden pair of black slip-on shoes (here), but they were almost $60 and I knew I wasn’t going to spend that much. Luckily, Target does a great job of making knock off styles. I found these almost identical slip-on shoes (here) at Target for only $25, less than haft the price of the Steve Madden shoes.

Today, I want to share 4 fall looks wearing my new black slip-on sneakers. They can be worn with almost anything, but for today’s looks I styled them all with 4 different pairs of pants; white jeans, black jeggings, jeans, and leggings. All four of these looks are perfect for me to wear to work, or wear on the weekends. They are very casual and very mom-friendly!

It’s time for another Year of Color link up! This month’s color is blue!

Blue is one of my favorite colors to wear. Some of my most favorite dresses that I’ve ever worn were blue. September is my birthday month, and my birthstone, the Sapphire, has always been one of my favorite stones. For today’s blue look, I picked out this Old Navy Sapphire blue shirt dress. I love the style of this dress. I used to wear it all the time at my old job with a business casual dress code, and now I can still style it down with a denim jacket and some flats and wear it to my casual dress code at my current job. It’s a great teacher dress to wear in the classroom! It’s also perfect for church. Another plus about this style of dress is that it’s great for breastfeeding moms, especially if you’re pumping at work.

How to Hem Your Jeans Without Sewing

September 13, 2017 by Katie Haller

A couple months ago, I found this cute pair of Hollister jeans at the Goodwill. They were in great condition and had the perfect amount of stretch to them. They were so comfortable that I knew they would be perfect to wear for work. The only problem with them was that they were way too long.

I’m only 5’1, so I’ve always struggled with jeans being too long. I normally just cuff my jeans at the bottom, but these jeans were too long for that. I never pay to hem my clothes and I definitely can’t hem pants myself, so I decided that I would just cut them. It’s an extremely simple way that you can shorten the length of your jeans and since the distressed look is very in style right now, it won’t look weird to have it frayed at the bottom.

I was very pleased with how my jeans turned out. It’s such an easy solution to a short girl’s problem. Below is one way that I styled my jeans recently.

Thrifted Summer Romper

September 10, 2017 by Katie Haller

I love to thrift shop because you just never know what you will find. I like to think of it as treasure hunting. Today I wanted to share one of my latest treasures I found on one of my thrift store trips.

While shopping at the Goodwill recently, I ended up finding this cute little romper that was only $2.50. I had never owned a romper before, but I’ve always liked them on other people. I figured that it would be a great piece to wear during the summer heat. I really love the print on it, and I figured that it would look cute layered up with a cardigan or on its own. For today’s look, I wore it on its own with my dark brown sandals, my brown purse, and gold accessories.

I know that summer is coming to an end, so a romper is a little out of season for most. But it’s very easy to layer and wear on a warm fall day. It’s also a good time to snag up a cute romper for a good price, especially with all the end of summer clearance sales. Below, I’ve linked a bunch of cute similar rompers all under $20!

Transitional Fall Outfit

September 8, 2017 by Katie Haller

I’m so excited for fall. I know that I talk about it a lot, but fall is my favorite season for fashion. I just love all the neutral colors and layering pieces. It’s hard to really embrace the fall fashion when it’s still 100 degrees outside. The weather plays a big part in what you wear. That’s why this fall, I really want to focus on sharing a lot of transitional fall looks. I mean, in Las Vegas, we transition into fall until it’s Christmas time. Then once it’s winter, we finally get to wear all our fall clothes comfortably.

For today’s transitional fall look, I pulled this tan lightweight sweater from my closet and paired it with my favorite pair of shorts from this summer. I love the color of this sweater and it’s the perfect kind of sweater to wear when it’s still warm outside. I love how it looks with this salmon-colored statement necklace. I wore this combo a lot when I first moved to Las Vegas over 2 years ago (older post here) and I’m hoping to bring it back this fall.

Red Striped Dress

August 28, 2017 by Katie Haller

Hey everyone! Happy Monday! I’m going to start off my week with an outfit post. I think that by now most kids have started back to school and if they haven’t then they will be starting next week. That means teachers are back to work. Now I’m a teacher, but I do work summers because our program is year-round. It has its pros and cons, but now that the new school year is back in session, I’m trying to put together some new fun teacher looks to wear in the classroom. I teach PreK, so I usually have to modify my looks so that I can wear them around my little ones, but for my other fellow teachers who can get away with wearing a little cuter outfits, these looks are for you.

For today’s look, I’m sharing this red and white striped dress that I bought at Walmart for under $8 while buying school supplies for my classroom. I think it’s a perfect dress for a teacher. It has a high neckline and it falls at a perfect spot on your knee, plus with that price tag, it’s okay if you get a little dirty. I’ve been wearing this dress to work with my tan slip-on Roxy shoes (similar) to make it a little more casual for my classroom.
