How to Wear Overalls Over 35

May 23, 2022 by Katie H.

How to wear short overalls

I haven’t owned a pair of overalls since 8th grade, so when I saw that they were making a comeback, I was hesitant to join in on the trend. For a long time, I didn’t think I was cool enough or young enough to pull off overalls as an adult, but this is why I never say never when it comes to fashion because here I am buying overalls at 37. When I saw this pair of short denim overalls at Gap Factory, I decided to try them.

Mom outfits to wear on a field trip

I don’t know about you, but I am excited that the school year is coming to an end. My little guy is just finishing up his first year of kindergarten and it’s so fun to see how much he has learned this year. His school is ending with a few fun events that involve the parents and I am so excited that I get to be a part of them. One event in particular that I am excited about is chaperoning a field trip to the Zoo. That’s why today I thought it would be fun to share some cute mom outfits to wear on a field trip!

Comfortable & Affordable Bra Review

May 9, 2022 by Katie H.

Affordable bra review

To me, one very important wardrobe staple to own is a good bra! I believe that what you wear under your outfit can completely make or break the look. If you feel uncomfortable in the wrong bra or you keep having to adjust yourself throughout the day, you’re not going to love what you are wearing as much.  That’s why today I wanted to dedicate my posts to comfortable and affordable bras.

How to Wear a White Blazer for Spring

April 27, 2022 by Katie H.

How to wear a white blazer

One of my favorite pieces of clothing in my wardrobe is a blazer.  I absolutely love the look of a classic blazer with an outfit.  You can wear them in so many different ways and it always looks polished and put together.  I have a few different colors and styles of blazers, but one color I have had my eye out for is a white blazer.

Trends to Try- Gingham Dress

April 24, 2022 by Katie H.

Spring Trends Gingham

One trend that I have had on my radar this spring is gingham. Gingham is a classic print and it’s been around for a long time, but this spring it’s hard to miss! I’ve been seeing gingham print everywhere in dresses, tops, skirts, and more. I have also been seeing it in all sorts of bold bright colors. I think it’s safe to say that gingham is a big trend for spring 2022!

Casual Outfits To Wear While Running Errands

April 19, 2022 by Katie H.

Casual outfits to wear while running errands

I am a pro when it comes to running errands. I feel like that’s all I do every day. Any time that I leave the house I like to feel cute and put together in whatever I am wearing, but let’s face it. The grocery store is not the most glamorous place to be. That’s why there is no reason that you need to get overly dressed up (unless of course that makes you feel good). That’s why l like to keep it casual.
