The Most Versatile Summer Sandals

June 6, 2022 by Katie H.

How to wear summer sandals

To splurge or not to splurge, that is the question, or at least that’s a question that I get asked from time to time. Can you splurge on fashion and still have an affordable wardrobe? If your budget allows it then, of course, it’s okay to splurge! Before you make a splurge purchase it’s important to think about the value that the item will hold in your wardrobe. If the value is high, meaning you will wear it all the time in multiple ways and it makes you feel good wearing it, then go for it!

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.

Cute Rainy Day Outfit Ideas With Rain Boots

April 6, 2022 by Katie H.

Cute Rainy Day Outfit Ideas

I never thought that I would ever own a pair of Hunter rainboots. I just didn’t think that they fit into my wardrobe, plus they are expensive. With all the April spring showers we have been getting here in Michigan lately, I have been thinking that a cute pair of rain boots might be the perfect addition to my wardrobe.

How To Make Your Momiform Feel More Stylish

April 4, 2022 by Katie H.

Ways to look more stylish in your everyday mom outfits

A few years ago I wrote a blog post called 5 Ways To Make Your Momiform Pop! The post has been one of my most popular posts on Pinterest and I know that it’s because so many women are looking for the answer to the question of, how can I feel more stylish in my everyday outfits as a mom? It’s hard to find the balance between comfy and cute when you have little kids at home. I know this first hand. That’s why I wanted to continue to talk about this topic with a new blog series of posts to help make your everyday momiform feel more stylish.

Real-Life Mom Outfit of the Day Roundup- October

November 3, 2021 by Katie Haller

Real-Life Mom Outfit of the Day Roundup- October

I can’t believe that another month has past and it’s time to do another real-mom outfit of the day roundup.  I honestly never know what to call these posts.  I use to call them “What I Wore” posts, then I would say monthly posts.  Lately, I have just been referring to them as real-life mom outfit-of-the-day roundups because that’s what they are.  They are the real everyday outfits that I wear.  I love putting together outfits, but when it comes to actually getting a chance to wear every outfit that I style for the blog it’s hard.  I just don’t have that many exciting places to wear them to.  That’s why I challenge myself every day to put on something that I feel good in.

I've been in a winter outfit rut for the last mont I've been in a winter outfit rut for the last month. All I want to do is throw on a big cozy sweater with some leggings and call it a day.

I have another round up of cozy outfits! I have to admit that I have been in a bit of a style rut! The lack of sunshine has made it really hard for me to feel motivated to get creative with my outfits and I've been finding myself repeating the same clothes over and over again. 

That's why this week I built each outfit around one piece in my wardrobe that I haven't worn in a while. I have a lot of clothes and sometimes rediscovering pieces that I love help my outfits feel more fun and creative!
