 As a stay at home mom, I wear leggings a lot.  When I have no plans to leave the house, I usually stay in my leggings all day long because they are way more comfortable than jeans.  I’ve been wanting to step up my leggings for a while and branch out from my normal black leggings.  I’ve been eyeing faux leather leggings for a couple years now and last winter I started to really love the look of them, but I was pregnant.  I wasn’t going to buy a maternity pair of faux leather leggings and I also didn’t want to buy a pair that I could barely fit into.  Now that I have officially retired all my maternity leggings, I figured I would buy a pair of faux leather leggings to see how I like them, and guess what?  I love them!!  Read more

 It’s been a while since I’ve rounded up my outfits and shared them in a blog post.  The truth is, it’s been a while since I’ve loved all the outfits that I wore.  It’s going on 4 months since I gave birth and I’m so happy that I am starting to feel like my old self again.  My clothes are fitting and even though things aren’t exactly where I’d like them to be, I feel good in my clothes again and that’s what matters.  I could probably go on and on about postpartum weight loss and fall clothes and how wearing a cute outfit makes my day, but today I’m going to try to make this post short and I’ll just get to the outfits for now.

4 Fall Trends to Try to Make You Feel More Stylish

September 30, 2020 by Katie Haller

Fall trends to try #fall #falloutfits

 Do you ever find a cute outfit you like on Pinterest or Instagram and think, I really love this look, but I could never pull it off? I know I do that all the time.  I sometimes worry that I might be too old to wear something or it might look dumb on me.  I think we all do that though.  Lately, I’ve been trying to take more risks with my outfits.  I’m not doing anything too crazy, just trying a few new styles to see how I like them.  If it’s not for me, I don’t keep them, but what I’ve been finding out is that I am really loving the new fashion risks I’m trying out.

10 Timeless Fall Wardrobe Staples #fallwardrobe #wardrobestaples
I have to say, I hate to see summer go, but I’m always looking forward to some fall fashion.  It’s the best when it starts to cool off just a bit and you’re able to throw on some extra layers and wear long pants comfortably again.  What I’ve learned over the years is that there are certain items in my closet that never go out of style.  Having a wardrobe filled with timeless wardrobe staples can help you mix and match your outfits and save you money in the long run.

6 Ways to Style a Leopard T-shirt

August 31, 2020 by Katie Haller

6 ways to style a leopard t-shirt #leopard #leopardtshirt
To me, nothing says fall like a little leopard in my outfit.  I love adding a pop of leopard here and there.  Lately, I’ve been moving beyond my leopard accessories and trying out more leopard clothing pieces.  I recently got this leopard long sleeve crew neck t-shirt from Amazon.  I always get worried about having too much leopard in my outfit, but I find this shirt to not be as overwhelming with the print as it seems.  By adding in different layering pieces you can break down the print if it’s too much.  I like that it’s not too heavy, so it’s great to wear in early fall, then as it gets colder it will be nice to layer under my cardigans.Read more
