Cute and Comfy Outfits for Winter

by Katie Haller

 

A round up of cute and cozy winter outfits for women
Welcome to 2022!  I spent the last 2 weeks relaxing with my family.  The days leading up to Christmas were a little rough for me.  There was too much anticipation and excitement that I was struggling to hold everything together at home.  I decided that I would take a little break or at least a break from caring.  I stop caring about posting holiday outfit reel to Instagram or getting on my phone to check how my posts were doing or responding to the emails that came my way.  Instead, I listened to a book and started watching the second season of You on Netflix.  I did the things I never do in my free time, instead of the things I thought I should be doing and it was amazing!  I spent more time being in the moment with my kids and enjoying them.

Round up of best selling clothing items and popular blog posts of 2021

I hope that everyone has been enjoying their Christmas break.  I have been semi-un-plugged this last week, meaning that I haven’t been glued to my phone as usual and staying up late to work on blog posts.  It’s been amazing!  I’ve spent a lot of time with my family and I have been loving every moment.  But I am missing the blog and I am getting excited for this upcoming year.  I’ve been taking a break from creating new content, so this week I just wanted to do some review posts of 2021.

Affordable Green Dress for the Holidays

by Katie Haller

 6 ways to style a green dress for the holidays

I wasn’t planning on sharing this dress in a blog post, but then I decided that it was just too good not to share as many times as I could.  Just when I thought that I was done shopping for the year, I saw this dress at Old Navy and because I am loaded up with super cash I decided to grab it. (Super cash gets me every time! 😂) I love the dress because it’s very basic.  On its own, it’s just a plain dress, but once you play around with it and add some layers and accessories it becomes this very cute fun little dress.

Trends to Try- Chelsea Boots

by Katie Haller

Outfit ideas with Chelsea boots
I’ve been on the hunt for a pair of Chelsea boots all fall.  This was a trend that I have been wanting to try, but I wasn’t sure if it was for me.  I feel like these chunky style boots can look a little too young and edgy for my style, but when I started to think about how practical they could be in the winter months I started to open up to them more and more.  At first, I started looking at combat boots.  I tried on a few pairs while I was out shopping and I just couldn’t get into them.  It was something about the laces that I didn’t like, so then I shifted my focus to the Chelsea boots.  I tried on a pair at every store I went to, but I just couldn’t find the right pair.  Then finally I found a cute affordable pair of Chelsea boots (HERE) at Kohl’s. (Boots run big.  I went down a half size.)  They were under $40 and had everything I was looking for in a winter boot.
