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.

6 Ways to Wear Biker Shorts

July 12, 2021 by Katie Haller

I don’t know about you but I got pretty excited when I saw that biker shorts were back in style.  As a kid in the early 90’s I loved wearing biker shorts.  I had little matching sets with matching skirts.  They were the best!

Affordable Mom-Friendly Denim Shorts

Affordable Mom-Friendly Denim Shorts

Denim shorts are an important wardrobe staple that I don’t think should be ignored.  I love denim shorts, but I’ve always struggled finding the right pair.  So many denim shorts in stores are made for teenagers and I’m defiantly not looking for the same fit of denim shorts I wore when I was younger.  I want something high waisted, not too short or too tight.  Something with distressing, but not too distressed.  I want one pair of denim shorts that I can wear with anything in my wardrobe.  I was thrilled that I was finally able to find that perfect pair of denim shorts.

Mom-Friendly Outfits Wearing White Jeans

April 17, 2021 by Katie Haller

Mom-Friendly Outfits Wearing White Jeans
Are you afraid to wear white?  As a mom, I totally get it!  I’m terrified of white.  I always spill something on myself whenever I wear white.  But I love white! Especially white jeans!  They just brighten up your whole outfit.  Even though I believe that white jeans are appropriate to wear year round, I really love to wear them in the spring. Read more

How to Wear White Sneakers

Affordable white sneakers
 Who here knows the book Pete the Cat I love My White Shoes?  I always think of the song that goes along with that book whenever I wear white shoes. 😂  White sneakers are always a must have mom-wardrobe staple for me.  I love how classic they are and they go with pretty much anything.

How to Wear a Faux Suede Pencil Skirt

February 18, 2021 by Katie Haller

 Faux suede skirt styled for winter

The last couple of weeks I have been struggling to keep up on blog posts.  I have so many things I want to share on here, but it’s been so hard for me to set aside time to get all the things done.  Between having an active/mobile baby now, and also a sassy 5-year-old on my hands, I feel like I don’t have any downtime to just sit at my computer and write.  I try to stay up after the kids go to bed at night, but that has been hard for me.  Some nights I just can’t do it and I head to bed right away, but other nights, like tonight, I try my best to get as much as I can done, so let’s see how that works. 😂

Does your family do family photos in the fall? 🍂

We have never done family photos but every year I get asked for recommendations for affordable family photo outfits. I always think @oldnavy is a great place to find affordable family photo outfits. It’s easy to mix and match the colors and prints with your whole family. Plus they always are at great prices! 

Here’s what I tried on…
🍂V-neck sweater (small) This sweater is super soft and perfect to wear with skirts!
🍂Faux leather skirt (xs) This skirt is actually breathable and very comfortable! 
🍂Black slip skirt (xs) A slip skirt is on my wishlist for fall. It’s so versatile and cute! 
🍂 Burgundy floral midi dress (xs) I love the color and fit of this dress. The material is lightweight so it’s a perfect dress if you live somewhere warm. 
🍂Flatter sleeve midi dress (small)- I love the fit and flare style on this dress! 
🍂Square neck midi dress (xs) I actually really loved the style of this dress, despite the fact that you would need to wear a strapless bra with the dress!
