Helping women love what they wear on a budget

Effortless Style with Pink Blush

December 1, 2017 by Katie Haller

This week has been one of those long, busy, exhausting weeks that I’m just happy to get through.   My in-laws came into town for Thanksgiving and we had a fun long weekend visiting with them, but Monday hit me hard.  Sometimes when I have a long period of time off work, I forget that I have a job.  I went back to work this week with a ton of parent-teacher conferences that needed to be done by the end of the week, paperwork that needed to be turned in and of course 16 crazy 4 and 5-year-olds who had been off school for a whole week. 


It didn’t help that my toddler has been waking up in the middle of the night screaming his head off every night, which means I’ve been sleeping at least 3 hours of the night in a toddler bed.  He’s also started the terrible two’s, even though he still has 2 months to go until he’s officially a 2-year-old, so it’s just been hard to keep him satisfied.

It’s weeks like this that has me at a loss for what to wear in the morning.  I think a lot of moms feel this way and that’s how so many of us get into a rut with our wardrobe.  I love planning out what I’m going to wear every day, but this week I was just lucky to blow dry my hair before work.  Instead of picking out accessories and figuring out which shoes would look best, I was holding a cranky baby putting on makeup with one hand (I’m getting pretty good at this skill.)  Weeks like this make me so thankful for a store like PinkBlush.
I’m always able to find trendy fun tops that fit perfectly into my everyday wardrobe at PinkBlush.  This grey hooded lace trim sweater saved me this week when I was at a loss for what to wear.  There’s no need to worry about what kinds of accessories to wear with it because it’s perfect on its own.  I love that it has the look of a cozy sweatshirt, but it’s lightweight and not bulky.  For work this week, I wore this sweater with jeans, but when I’m home on the weekends I like to stay comfy in my leggings and that’s how I styled this look today.

Hopefully, next week will be a little less hectic, but at least I have a go-to sweater to wear.

Pink Blush- Winter Floral Wrap Dress

November 20, 2017 by Katie Haller

*This post is part of a collaboration with PinkBlush.  All opinions are 100% my own.

I am so excited to announce that I recently became a style ambassador for PinkBlush.  I’m sure most of you are already familiar with Pink Blush, but for those of you who are not, Pink Blush is an online boutique that sells trendy maternity, women and plus size women clothing.  I love how they sell effortless fashion targeting moms looking to up their style.  Their clothes are of high quality and affordable.  Plus they always have a sale going on and there is always free shipping for all U.S. orders, which always makes me happy!

Pink Blush has a gorgeous selection of maternity and nonmaternity floral print wrap maxi dresses.  When I think of Pink Blush, I always think of this style of dress.  I wanted to share my first post as a style ambassador showing of this classic Pink Blush style.

I chose this black floral hi-low wrap dress to feature today.  I love how feminine and flowy this dress is.  I feel like the empire waist makes it a flattering fit for all body types.  It’s so comfortable that I didn’t want to take it off.  I always think of floral prints for the spring and summer, but with the darker print on this dress, it can easily be styled for the fall and winter.  I wore my denim jacket with cognac accessories to give it more of a fall/winter feel.

Mom Wear + Pink Blush + $50 Giveaway!!

August 4, 2016 by Katie Haller

Lately, my wardrobe has quickly been turning into mom wear.  To me, mom wear is anything that I can throw on quickly, that’s comfortable and practical, but also stylish.  Little Jack does not like to let me have too much time to get myself ready in the morning, so that’s why it’s nice to have those pieces of clothing that are mindless and require very little effort to put together and still look stylish.

This is why when Pink Blush asked me to collaborate with them, I jumped at the opportunity!  When I was pregnant I remember coming across a lot of Pink Blush maternity clothes on Pinterest and I loved what I saw!  What I didn’t realize at the time was that Pink Blush is so much more than just maternity clothes.  They also have a women’s line, perfect for busy moms.  While I was pregnant, I enjoyed styling my bump in nonmaternity clothes because it was more practical for me to get the most out of my wardrobe.  That’s why I bought clothes that I could wear during and after my pregnancy.  This is why I love Pink Blush so much.  Their women’s line transforms perfectly from pregnancy into mom life.

I am currently loving my new dress from Pink Blush!  This dress is pretty much my definition of what mom wear is.  It’s comfortable, practical and stylish.  It is quickly becoming my go-to dress; perfect for work, running errands, church or for family outings.  Of course, I like to stick with what I’m comfortable in and stripes are always my go-to pattern.  The great thing about this dress is that it would also work perfectly if I were pregnant again.

  Another thing that I love about this dress is how versatile it is.  I love that I can wear it casually with flip flops or flats or I can dress it up with some wedges or heels.  It’s perfect year-round for any season.  I can’t wait to style it with some leggings and boots this winter.

 
Of course I’m always looking for a deal and I find Pink Blush to be very affordable.  I can even stick to my $30 shopping budget.  The site always has some sort of discount promo code running along with 15% off your first order, plus free shipping, which always makes me happy!
Right now I am hosting my very first give away!  I’m teaming up with Pink Blush to give one lucky reader the chance to win a $50 gift card to Pink Blush!  All you have to do is follow these steps…

Happy Memorial Day!! I am truly grateful to all of Happy Memorial Day!! I am truly grateful to all of the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice our country! 🇺🇸

I just love how my 6-year-old is always so excited and interested to learn about each holiday. Today he couldn't wait to put on his red, white and blue clothes and make a flag cake. Even though he doesn't quite understand the real meaning behind the day, his curiosity always makes my heart happy! ❤️🤍💙
