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!

Mom outfits to wear on a field trip

I don’t know about you, but I am excited that the school year is coming to an end. My little guy is just finishing up his first year of kindergarten and it’s so fun to see how much he has learned this year. His school is ending with a few fun events that involve the parents and I am so excited that I get to be a part of them. One event in particular that I am excited about is chaperoning a field trip to the Zoo. That’s why today I thought it would be fun to share some cute mom outfits to wear on a field trip!

Comfortable & Affordable Bra Review

May 9, 2022 by Katie H.

Affordable bra review

To me, one very important wardrobe staple to own is a good bra! I believe that what you wear under your outfit can completely make or break the look. If you feel uncomfortable in the wrong bra or you keep having to adjust yourself throughout the day, you’re not going to love what you are wearing as much.  That’s why today I wanted to dedicate my posts to comfortable and affordable bras.

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.
