Helping women love what they wear on a budget

3 Mom Wardrobe Essentials from Stitch Fix Free Style

October 27, 2022 by Katie H.

Try on

In my style journey over the last decade, one thing that I have learned is that building a wardrobe on a budget is all about creating a closet full of versatile clothes that you love. It’s about quality over quantity. The more clothes that you love and can wear in different ways, the less you will want to shop. This is why I have been loving Stitch Fix! It’s the perfect way to add those quality versatile pieces to your wardrobe that you will want to wear year after year. Today I want to share my latest Stitch Fix Freestyle order.

How to Wear Coated Black Jeans

October 26, 2022 by Katie H.

Coated black jeans outfit ideas

One trend that I am loving this fall is coated black jeans! What I love about these jeans is that they have a shiny finish, giving them the same appearance as leather pants. But the most significant difference is that they are more comfortable and affordable than leather. You may remember that these jeans were on my winter wishlist this year, and I finally decided to buy a pair.

How to Wear Flares in 2022

How to wear flare jeans in 2022

Flare jeans are back! But to be honest, I’m not sure if they were ever officially out. I think because skinny jeans took over for so long, most of us forgot about how we used to wear our flare jeans. Flare jeans have a special place in my heart. We have some good memories together. I wore them all through middle school, high school, and college, and even after college, they were still hanging around in my closet. But a few years ago, I decided that they just didn’t fit into my style anymore and I gave my last pair off to the thrift store.

How to Wear Overalls Over 35

May 23, 2022 by Katie H.

How to wear short overalls

I haven’t owned a pair of overalls since 8th grade, so when I saw that they were making a comeback, I was hesitant to join in on the trend. For a long time, I didn’t think I was cool enough or young enough to pull off overalls as an adult, but this is why I never say never when it comes to fashion because here I am buying overalls at 37. When I saw this pair of short denim overalls at Gap Factory, I decided to try them.

Trends to Try- Gingham Dress

April 24, 2022 by Katie H.

Spring Trends Gingham

One trend that I have had on my radar this spring is gingham. Gingham is a classic print and it’s been around for a long time, but this spring it’s hard to miss! I’ve been seeing gingham print everywhere in dresses, tops, skirts, and more. I have also been seeing it in all sorts of bold bright colors. I think it’s safe to say that gingham is a big trend for spring 2022!

I have another round up of cozy outfits! I have to admit that I have been in a bit of a style rut! The lack of sunshine has made it really hard for me to feel motivated to get creative with my outfits and I've been finding myself repeating the same clothes over and over again. 

That's why this week I built each outfit around one piece in my wardrobe that I haven't worn in a while. I have a lot of clothes and sometimes rediscovering pieces that I love help my outfits feel more fun and creative!
