Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2022: Splurge or Save

July 13, 2022 by Katie H.

Nordstrom Anniversary sale online shopping

One of my favorite things to do as I browse the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale each year is to find splurge or save items to share. I mentioned in my last post on this sale (HERE) that you don’t need to shop this sale to benefit from it. You can use the sale as your style guide for fall. There’s nothing wrong with a good splurge from time to time, but for me, I’m all about a good save!

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!

Favorite Summer Outfit Recap

Affordable end of summer outfit round up

It’s Labor Day, which means summer is now coming to an end.  I always feel like this time of the year is bittersweet.  I love fall and I am excited about cooler weather and getting back into a routine, but I also hate to see the summer go.  I know that the cold weather and winter are right around the corner so it’s best to enjoy all the warm days while you can.

2 Casual Ways to Style a Neutral Dress

 2 Casual Ways to Style a Neutral Dress

As everyone has been shopping the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale the last couple of weeks, I have been shopping for look-a-like items from the sale for less.  (You can check out all my favorite splurges and saves from my recent post HERE!!)  One of my favorite items in the nsale was this neutral-colored cotton midi dress.  I loved its style, so I knew I had to find a similar dress for less.  I ended up finding this crew neck neutral-colored midi dress on Amazon for $13 less than the Nordstrom dress.  I am so happy with my purchase.  This dress fits perfectly!  It’s true to size (I’m wearing a small) and it hits me at the perfect length, which is not always easy for me when buying midi dresses because I’m only 5’1.  Most are either knee length or maxis on me.

Green Amazon Dress- From Summer to Fall

August 26, 2019 by Katie Haller

How to style a summer dress to fall
Even though we still have a few more weeks of summer weather ahead of us, I can’t help but start to get an itch for fall fashion.  I love transitional fall outfits.  My ideal weather for dressing is about 70 degrees.  It’s the type of weather that you can still wear dresses and flats, but it’s nice to layer up with a cardigan.  Read more

I know that teachers spend a lot of their own mone I know that teachers spend a lot of their own money every school year on their classrooms, so I completely understand how their back-to-school wardrobe might get neglected. That's why I always feel that shopping second hand can be the perfect way to add new fun pieces to your teaching wardrobe without spending too much money. 

In my own personal experience, as a preschool teacher I always preferred to shop second hand. I spent less on my clothes and I wasn't afraid of getting messy in the classroom knowing that my clothes were so affordable. 

Here are a weeks worth of 100% thrifted outfits! Which would you wear?

I'm sharing a little behind the scenes bloopers to I'm sharing a little behind the scenes bloopers today of what it's like to get out content out on a regular basis when you are a SAHM with a toddler at home. 

We only see the final product on Instagram, but what most people don't realize is everything that goes into having a blog. 

I run my own website, have 4 social media accounts I post to, have an email list to manage, pitch and negotiate with brands, film and edit my own videos, take my own photos and then some. I don't have a nanny, day care, house cleaner or a cook. I do it all myself. When I really put that all into perspective I think I do pretty well for myself of what I do get done in a normal week. 

Although I do try my best to get my work done during nap time or after the kids go to bed, I sometimes end up trying to get a few things done while my toddler is awake and that's where all the bloopers come in. 🤣🤣

You will be able to tell how my week was based on You will be able to tell how my week was based on the mess behind me in these outfits. 🤣 The week started off a little rocky. It's the final stretch of summer and I am looking forward to getting back into a normal routine, but also still trying to enjoy these last few weeks. 

The big question today is how many more weeks of summer do your kids have left?? We have 3!

3 pieces from @maurices that you can style now and 3 pieces from @maurices that you can style now and later for fall! 

1.) Mixed print shoulder tie maxi dress- I'm wearing an xsmall! It fits TTS. I'm 5'1 and I can get away with wearing it without heels so I'd say it's petite friendly! 
2.) Floral button front peplum top- Fits TTS. I'm wearing an xsmall! This top would be flattering on all types of body types! I love that the waist has a drawstring that can be adjusted! 
3.) Blue plaid corduroy jacket- This jacket fits TTS! I'm wearing an xsmall. This jacket will be perfect on cool fall day. I love how it looks layered over athletic clothes!!
