9 Ways to Wear a Striped Turtleneck

It’s been a while since I’ve done a “how to wear” post.  The last couple of months have been pretty rough and I’ve just been trying to get through my first trimester of pregnancy as smoothly as possible, but blogging was definitely put on hold.  I’m slowly trying to get back into it now.  Last week I posted my 5 favorite holiday wardrobe staples (check out that post HERE) and this week I thought I’d share 9 different looks with my new thrifted striped turtleneck.

How to Style a Floral Top for Fall

I love a good clearance sale and my favorite place to find the best clearance deals is Nordstrom Rack.  I’m never disappointed with their clearance selections and prices.  Finding name brands at affordable prices is my favorite!  A couple of weeks ago, I stopped into my local Nordstrom Rack and tried on some really cute things.  I had planned on sticking to my shopping list, which a lace bralette was the only thing left on my fall wish list, but when I found this floral BP top I knew I had to have it.

How to Add a Pop of Leopard to Your Work Wardrobe

October 3, 2019 by Katie Haller

How to Add a Pop of Leopard to Your Work Wardrobe

Leopard print is a trend that isn’t going away any time soon.  I’ve been wearing leopard print ever since college.  It’s always been a fun way for me to liven up my wardrobe.  I don’t consider myself to be a super trending person.  I like to stick to the basics and not take too big of a fashion risk.  That’s why when I wear leopard print, I like to wear it in small doses. Instead of allowing it to take over my entire outfit, I like to add subtle pops of it into my favorite neutral outfits.

6 Ways to Wear Cropped Flare Jeans

6 Ways to Wear Cropped Flare Jeans
If you follow along with me on Instagram, I’m sure you have seen me sharing all my end-of-summer clearance finds.  I love shopping at the end of summer, the only problem is that it makes me mad when I see things I’ve already bought go down in price.  I hate missing out on a deal, but that’s okay because sometimes I catch the deals.  For example, early in the spring, I tried on these light-washed cropped flare jeans at Old Navy.  I thought they were super cute, but they were full price so I passed on them. A couple of weeks ago while at Old Navy to scope out my fall wishlist, I found the jeans again.  This time the price tag said $11.21!  I decided to buy them, because not only are they super cute for spring and summer, but I also feel like they could be worn into the early fall.
