Helping women love what they wear on a budget

Walmart Finds- Free Assembly Memorial Day Look

May 24, 2021 by Katie Haller

 
It’s no secret that Walmart has really stepped up their game in the fashion business over the last few years.  They went from a store that people felt embarrassed about buying their clothes from, to a store that people proudly clothes shop at and share their finds all over the internet.  I hugely support what they are doing on the fashion front.  They are selling affordable stylish clothes that everyone has access to, no matter how big or small their budget may be.  I have shopped at Walmart here and there over the years, but now that I am doing the majority of my shopping online,  Walmart has become one of my top 5 stores that I shop for clothes at.

Affordable Mom-Friendly Bathing Suits from Amazon

Affordable Mom-Friendly Bathing Suits on Amazon

 I’m not going to lie, I don’t love the idea of having pictures of myself in bathing suits floating around the internet, but I do love helping other women find affordable bathing suits that they will feel great in. This June my baby will be a year old which means my body will hit a year of being postpartum just in time for bathing suit season.  Although I don’t mind the mom body I have been left with after having 2 kids, there are still certain areas I’d feel more comfortable keeping covered up.  Read more

3 Ways to Style Leopard Paper Bag Shorts

3 ways to style leopard paper bag shorts
I have a friend who is always giving me great content for my blog.  She often will text me when she needs help picking out an outfit for something, whether it be for church or vacation.  Recently, she texted me to ask what you would wear out for dinner with a friend as an adult.  Haha, we are not used to going out with friends, so sometimes you just get stumped.  I thought about it, and I feel that a pair of paper bag shorts are perfect for a summer dinner date out with a friend.  You can dress them down or dress them up.  These types of shorts are my favorite shorts for summer by far!Read more

The Perfect Fit Mid-Length Skirt- eShakti Review

Yellow floral mid length skirt

I think we’ve all been in the situation where you find something you love, then you try it on and you can’t find a size that works for you.  It’s either too big, too long, too short or too tight.  If you really love it, you could buy it and pay for alterations, but who wants to go through all the hassle of finding a tailor and then waiting weeks before you can wear it?  When I found out that there was a website called eShakti where you could order clothes at an affordable price and they could be sized to fit your body type, I was excited.
