Helping women love what they wear on a budget

Walmart Shoe Dupes

Affordable Walmart Shoe Dupes

 Let’s just start by saying, I’ve never met a Walmart shoe that I didn’t love.  It wasn’t until a few years ago when I was still teaching that I discovered my love for Walmart shoes.  I bought a couple pairs of flats to wear in my classroom.  They were under $10 and very cute, so I figured they would be perfect for work because I wouldn’t have to worry about ruining them.  Well, they ended up being much better than I had expected and now I’m completely hooked.  Walmart has become my go-to store when I want a cute popular style of shoe, but I don’t want to spend a lot of money. Read more

Top 10 purchases of 2020

At the end of each year, I love to do a round-up blog post sharing my favorite purchases from the year.  It’s fun to look back on what I bought and evaluate my shopping.  I’m always trying to stay true to myself and this blog by keeping my shopping habit on a budget.  My goal is to never buy anything over $50 unless it’s the occasional splurge.Read more

Old Navy Fall Try-On Haul

I don’t typically do try-on haul blog posts.  I usually save that sort of thing for Instagram and LiketoKnow.it, but I figured since I’ve made 2 recent trips to Old Navy in the last week I might as well share all my finds in a blog post.  Especially since I was so excited that they have their fitting rooms opened again!

My Top 10 Favorite Finds of 2019

January 1, 2020 by Katie Haller

Top 10 Favorite Finds of 2019
As a girl who loves to shop, I try not to be a shopaholic or a wasteful shopper.  I try to be mindful of each purchase I make throughout the year.  I keep an ongoing wish list in the notes on my phone to limit the number of impulse buys I make.  I also try to be as budget-friendly as I can when I shop.  I strive to stay under $50 on each shopping trip or online order and I try to limit the amount of shopping I do. I don’t keep a record of my purchases throughout the year, but I think it’s something that I’m going to do this next coming year.  I think it would be nice to see on paper how much I actually spend throughout the year.

Budget Friendly Fall Cardigans

Budget Friendly Fall Cardigans

I love fall!  Who doesn’t love everything fall?  The foods, the smells, the FASHION!  I love it all!  What I really love about fall clothes is that you can start to layer again!  My outfit always feels like something is missing if I’m not layering with anything.  Summer is too hot for layers and winter is too cold for just one light layer.  That’s why I love the transitional seasons of spring and fall so much.  One thing in my closet that I can’t ever have enough of are cardigans.  I love them!  I wear them almost every day, so they are always a well-made purchase.  That’s why today I want to share some of my favorite cardigans this fall and where I like to shop for them.

9 Mom Friendly Fall Outfits from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

July 20, 2019 by Katie Haller

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale opened to the public this weekend, and so that means the normal non-cardholders, like myself, are welcome to shop the sale.  Now I know I polled my followers on Instagram and many of them said they are not shopping the NSale and they don’t care to hear about it.  I can respect that.  I know that if you follow any other bloggers besides me, you know this sale is a little overdone.  I myself don’t typically shop the NSale, because to be honest, I don’t stop just because there is a sale.  I try to only shop for things that I really want and  I’ve been eyeing for a while.  This doesn’t mean I don’t like to browse the sale.  Every year I spend hours browsing through the Nordstrom App and other bloggers’ blog posts to see what the most popular items are.  Sometimes I spend so much time browsing and eyeing the sale that I end up buying one or two things, but I try to make sure that it’s something from my “shopping list”.  I usually pick out items that I will wear and love for years to come.
