How to Wear White Sneakers

March 17, 2021 by Katie Haller

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.

My Must Have Breastfeeding Clothes

March 8, 2021 by Katie Haller

 

My Must Have Breastfeeding Clothes

I can’t believe I have an almost 9-month-old baby and I haven’t done a post yet on breastfeeding clothes.  Each day I remind myself that this breastfeeding experience is nearing the end.  With this being my last baby, I have some mixed emotions on letting go of breastfeeding.  I can tell I’m getting ready to be done.  I never planned on going past 12 months, so as she gets older I’m starting to do more bottles.  Even though I’m looking forward to getting my body completely back to myself, I’m sad to let it go.  It just reminds me that the baby stage goes by so fast and you really need to take it all in while you can.

9 Spring Outfit Ideas: When It Still Feels Like Winter

9 Spring Outfit Ideas: When it Still Feels Like Winter
I can’t believe it’s finally March!  We seem to be getting out of the winter and heading closer to spring each day, however, if you live in a cold place like the Midwest, it still will be some time until you can start wearing all those cute spring clothes.  I try not to let the weather hold me back from dressing for the season.  Just because it’s still cold out, doesn’t mean that I can’t bring some spring into my wardrobe. Read more

Styling the Perfect Spring Dress

The Perfect Spring Dress

*This post contains affiliate links.

I feel like I keep seeing this dress everywhere on Instagram lately.  Usually I’m not one to jump on the bandwagon and buy the same dress every other blogger is sharing, but I knew I wanted to buy this $20 Target dress when I first saw it.  Target had a very similar dress last spring that I wanted to buy so bad.  It was bump-friendly and nursing-friendly, but then the pandemic happened I put shopping on hold for the final months of my pregnancy and I never ended up buying the dress.  When I saw they had a similar dress this season I knew I wanted it!Read more

I first shared this post way back in December of 2016.  I noticed recently that it was getting a lot of views, so I wanted to give it a little update.  I’ve always loved this posts because it’s all about my favorite wardrobe item… leggings!  But I wasn’t loving the pictures any more so I added some more recent outfits and updated all the links.  I hope you enjoy!

How to Wear Joggers And Still Feel Put Together

January 20, 2021 by Katie Haller

 Comfortable jogger outfits that still feel put together
Let’s be honest…How many days per week do you spend wearing sweat pants?  I wear them more than I would like to admit, but they are so comfortable.  Even when I was working full-time every day, the first thing I did when I came in the door from work was take off my pants and slide into a comfy pair of sweat pants.  I can not get enough of jogger sweat pants.  I like how they tapered at the ankle and I love a good high waist. I have several pairs of joggers because I just love them!Read more
