Helping women love what they wear on a budget

Cozy, Casual Real Life Stay-At-Home Mom Outfits

January 4, 2021 by Katie Haller

Cozy, casual outfits

If 2020 taught me anything at all, it’s that you can never have enough loungewear.  Between being a stay-at-home-mom, spending half the year pregnant, and then going through a global pandemic, my wardrobe has officially shifted to the casual side.  Leggings, joggers, and slippers are my new go-to daily clothes.  I do miss wearing jeans and getting ready to go somewhere every day, but I just don’t feel the motivation to get out of my cozy clothes any time soon.  That doesn’t mean that I’m not going to put together cute cozy outfits.  Just because you are wearing loungewear all day, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t still feel cute and put together.

If you would have asked me 10 years ago if I would ever wear “mom jeans” I would have laughed and said no way!  I always remember seeing the mom jeans SNL skit and laughing thinking how ridiculous my mom looked back in the ’90s wearing high-waisted mom jeans.  Well, here I am at 36 wearing mom jeans and absolutely loving them.Read more

As a mom, I completely understand that makeup may not be a top priority for many moms.  Sometimes a daily makeup routine just gets lost in the chaos of motherhood.  But it doesn’t have to be that way.  Makeup is not as complicated as it seems.  Sometimes all it takes is an extra 5 minutes and you can have a fresh face that will help you feel good about yourself and help you feel a little more put together.Read more

Early Fall Outfit Review

 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.

KeaBabies Original Diaper Backpack Review

May 8, 2020 by Katie Haller

KeaBabies diaper backpack review
I guess you can say I’ve become quite the connoisseur of diaper bags over the last 4 years and the funny thing is I rarely used them when Jack was a baby.  I’ve tried out all sorts of bags, but I always ended up just throwing everything into one of my big purses.  The problem with that is it made it really hard for me to find everything I needed.  It also created a big mess in my purse with burp cloths, bottles, and all the other random things that ended up in there.
