Helping women love what they wear on a budget

Dressing Cute and Comfortable While Traveling

November 21, 2015 by Katie Haller

Last weekend I made a trip home to Michigan to celebrate my baby shower with my family and friends.  It was a great weekend and I had such a wonderful time with everyone, but getting there and back was a little bit draining.  I didn’t want to miss any workdays, so I was forced to take a red-eye on Friday night from Las Vegas and then fly out late on Sunday night from Detroit.  Even though I was extremely excited about all the festivities for the weekend,  I was also worried that my pregnant self would be completely exhausted.  This is why I started to prepare for my trip before I left.  I knew that if I was going to get any rest on the plane I would have to be dressed comfortably.  When I say dress comfortably, I don’t mean sweat pants and hoodies (that look is perfect for my couch, but not for public).  I always like to find ways to be cute and stylish while traveling all while staying comfortable and cozy.  That’s what I did for this trip.

Here are my comfortable travel looks from the weekend.

Leggings are a must for me when it comes to dressing comfortably, especially while pregnant.  On my way to Michigan,  I wore leggings with a long striped tunic tank top (exact here),  a black boyfriend cardigan sweater (exact here) and brown boots.  (I actually wore the boots below, because I only packed one pair.)  I also brought along my favorite purse for traveling,  my brown leather crossbody Coach purse.  I always feel like it’s important to have a decent size purse while traveling to fit all those extra items you may need while traveling.  I also like to have a crossbody purse for the airport, because it’s always nice to have your arms free while traveling. 

For my flight back to Vegas, I wore another cozy look with leggings and boots.  I wore black leggings, a black tank top, a waterfall cardigan (exact here) and the same scarf I wore on the flight there.  Scarves are another important item for me when traveling.  I always like to wear layers and scarves are a perfect way to layer your look, especially when traveling through different climates. 

I’ll be making another trip back to Michigan for Christmas, so it looks like these will be the way I’ll be traveling.  How do you dress for comfort while traveling?

Weekend Wardrobe- Maternity Style

November 8, 2015 by Katie Haller

  As you may already know, I’m kind of obsessed with stripes.  Why do pregnant people look good in horizontal stripes?  I have no idea, but they are my favorite patterns right now. 
Here are my stripe outfits from the weekend.
Saturday

Tunic Tank Top- H&M
Leggings- Kohl’s
Sweater- Target
Shoes- DSW

Sunday

Dress- Old Navy
Jacket- Meijer
Belt- Target
Shoes- Target

Here is my baby bump picture for the week.  I feel about the same this week as last….lots of growing and lots of pain for mommy in my ribs, but other than that, things have been great.  He’s been kicking away and I love feeling that! 

25-week baby bump
Have a wonderful week!

Weekend Wardrobe-Maternity Wardrobe

November 2, 2015 by Katie Haller

I’m a little behind with my weekend outfit post, but that’s okay.  It’s better late than never.  I enjoyed a nice long weekend, celebrating Halloween and my first Nevada Day.  Now that the weather has been so nice, Kevin and I have been getting out more on the weekends to explore the area.

Here are the outfits that I wore this weekend.

Friday

Top- Kohl’s 
Leggings- Kohl’s
Necklace- Charming Charlie
Boots- DSW
Saturday
Tank top- Old Navy 
Jeans- Old Navy
Cardigan- H&M 
Sunday
Dress- Target 
Belt- Target
Sweater- Old Navy
Here’s my weekly baby bump picture.  This baby is doing a lot of growing right now and I’m feeling it.  My ribs have been hurting a lot this week, making it really uncomfortable at times.  I never stopped to think about just how much stress your body goes through during pregnancy.  It makes me a little nervous for the next 3 months.  If I’m this uncomfortable right now, I can only imagine how I’ll be feeling during my last couple of weeks.  I guess it’s better than throwing up.  Plus, I have to say that I love watching this little guy grow every day. 
24-week baby bump
Have a wonderful week!!

What I Wore this Week- Maternity Style

October 30, 2015 by Katie Haller

It’s been a while since I last documented my work outfits, but this week I thought that I would try to spruce up my work wardrobe a bit.  As I have mentioned before, my current job has a very casual dress code, which I’m really enjoying right now.  Being pregnant, I want to be comfortable all the time.  I also hate dressing sloppy, so I actually try every day to put something cute together that I will feel good in. 
Here is what I came up with this week.  (Please excuse my messy bathroom.  It’s been so dark when I am getting ready for work that this is the only room with decent lighting.) 
Monday
Tank top- Target (similar)
Denim button-down- Target (similar)
Leggings- Kohl’s (similar)
Shoes- Target (similar)
Tuesday
Shirt- Target (similar)
Sweater- Forever 21 (similar)
Jeans- Old Navy (similar)
Shoes- Old Navy (similar)
Wednesday
Shirt- Target (similar)
Sweater- TJ Maxx (similar)
Jeggings- Ross (similar)
Shoes- DSW (similar)
Thursday
Shirt- Old Navy (similar)
Sweater- Target (similar)
Jeans- Old Navy (exact)
Shoes- Target (similar)

There’s no look for today because I don’t have to worry about getting dressed for work.  It’s Nevada Day… a holiday I had never heard of before I moved to Las Vegas.  I’m not sure why every state doesn’t celebrate their state with a day off work?
I hope everyone enjoys the Halloween weekend!

Weekend Wardrobe- Maternity Style

October 25, 2015 by Katie Haller

Words cannot express how much I am pleased with the current forecast here in Las Vegas.  Yes, I still really miss the fall season back in the Midwest, but I’m loving the temperatures that we’ve been having here.  It’s been in the high 70s and low 80s.  It’s perfect weather!  Especially when it comes to getting dressed in the morning.  Nothing is off-limits.  You can wear a dress, sandals, boots or jeans.  Really anything is acceptable with this kind of weather.
Here are my looks for the weekend.
Saturday
Shirt- Target
Jeggings- Ross
Sweater- Target
Boots- Target
Sunday
Blazer- Target
Shirt- Old Navy
Pants- Target
Scarf- Old Navy
Shoes- Target 
Here is my baby bump picture for the week.  Not much has changed since last week.  He’s still moving a lot and I’m still feeling good.  Despite my belly sticking out, I feel pretty in shape and healthy.  I’ve been trying to get outside for walks and do yoga and other at-home exercises as much as I can.  I’ve got to say that I’m loving this second trimester.
23 weeks baby bump
Have a wonderful week!

My Closet-Throwback Thursday~ Denim Shirt

October 22, 2015 by Katie Haller

Happy Friday Eve!  Here are a couple outfits that I put together last fall using my denim button-down shirt.  I love this top because it’s so great for layering in different ways.  In the looks below, I wore this top with white pants and with a black skirt.  These are both perfect work outfits if you have a business casual dress code.
Denim Button Down- Target (similar)
White Pants- Target (similar)
Nude Shoes- Target (similar)
Navy Blazer- Target (exact)
Sweater- Express bought at the Salvation Army
Skirt- Ann Taylor hand me down from my mom

Hope you enjoyed my Throwback!  Tomorrow is Friday, so why not close out the week with a cute work outfit?  I’m sure it will make your day!
