As you already know, I’m a lover of thrift shopping. I love the hunt and the feeling I get when I find the perfect piece for me at the perfect price. It gives me goosebumps. Well, my thrift shopping days have been on hold for the last couple of months ever since Coronavirus showed up. Way back in early March, late February I was in contact with Goodwill of Greater Grand Rapids on doing a sponsored post with them. My plan was to share how you can find affordable maternity outfits at Goodwill. Well, that idea fell through because by the time stores opened back up here in Michigan, I wasn’t pregnant anymore. That’s why today, I’m still going to do my post, but this time it’s going to be about thrifting the perfect postpartum clothes at Goodwill.Read more

4 ways to style one dress- from summer to fall

I’m so happy that it’s March and spring is near, but here in the midwest it still feels like winter. I don’t expect spring weather to get here any time soon. That’s why I thought I’d do a blog post today on stying a new dress in my wardrobe for both winter and spring.

It’s been a while since I’ve done a “how to wear” post. The last couple of months have been pretty rough and I’ve just been trying to get through my first trimester of pregnancy as smoothly as possible, but blogging was definitely put on hold. I’m slowly trying to get back into it now. Last week I posted my 5 favorite holiday wardrobe staples (check out that post HERE) and this week I thought I’d share 9 different looks with my new thrifted striped turtleneck.

Peplum Top Spring Look

March 14, 2019 by Katie Haller

I have had the biggest case of writer’s block for the last week. Every time I go to sit down to write this blog post, my brain goes blank. I have so much to say, yet I can’t get the words out. I took these pictures of this outfit weeks ago, but I just have nothing to go with it. So I decided since I’m a tired working blogging mom who is just trying to get to the weekend, I’m just going to leave this post as what it is. It’s a cute spring outfit featuring my thrifted Old Navy peplum top. It’s 50% thrifted and 100% budget-friendly. Since this outfit is made up of thrift finds and clearance finds, I don’t have the exact links to it, but you can find similar pieces linked below.

3 Ways to Wear a Corduroy Skirt

January 17, 2019 by Katie Haller

I love it when I find a great versatile piece of clothing. I love it, even more, when I find it for a great price! Last month right before Christmas I got a notification on my phone that ThredUP was doing 24 hours of free shipping. I had been waiting for this for a while because I only had a little over $2 left in my ThredUP account. I love shopping at their online thrift store, but my biggest complaint is that you need to spend over $79 to get free shipping. I don’t know about you, but I have a hard time spending that much money at a thrift store. That’s why I was waiting for free shipping. I ended up buying this super cute Old Navy corduroy skirt for $.99 plus an Old Navy tunic top (HERE), also for $.99. I was pretty excited about my finds and I still have some change leftover in my account for my next ThredUp shopping trip.

I’ve had really good luck with thrifting my skirts. You can usually find a lot of great basic skirts from thrift stores. I like the light khaki color of this skirt. I also think that corduroy is a great material for fall and winter. This skirt would make the perfect classroom skirt if your a teacher or for any office job. It’s also a perfect way to dress up a little bit more. Today I’ve styled it 3 ways to show you how easy it can be to add a corduroy skirt into your wardrobe.

Look #1- This look includes all my favorite things. A chambray top and a pop of leopard. This look is perfect for work. It’s really a simple look to pull off.

Skirt– ThredUp-Old Navy (Similar, Similar) || Top- Target (Similar) || Booties- ThredUP- Target (Similar, Similar) || Belt- Hand me down from my mom (Similar, Similar) || Necklace- Nordstrom (Exact)

Look #2- I love to layer my button-down shirts with a cardigan. I love how it has a classic and preppy feel to it. The key is to cuff the sleeves. This shows off the blouse a little more and hides any imperfections and bumpiness you might get in your sleeves.

Top- ThredUP- J.Crew (Similar, Similar) || Cardigan- Target (Similar) || Shoes- ThredUp- Madden Girls (Similar) || Necklace- Nordstrom (Exact)

Look #3- Sweaters tucked in are such a trend right now. I never thought that would be a thing, but it looks so polished when you tuck your sweater. Wearing a sweater with a skirt can be the perfect combination in the winter.
