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.

Affordable Family Photo Fall Outfit Ideas

September 26, 2022 by Katie H.

Fall family photo outfit ideas

Every year I always get asked about family photo fall outfit ideas. Honestly, I don’t have any experience with dressing for family photos because my family doesn’t do them. It is hard enough for me to get my family to participate in a quick family photo on a holiday with me. That’s why at this point in my life, I have decided that it’s not worth it to put myself through the stress of planning family photos. With that said, I do love looking at family photos and if you can do them with your family, then do it. They are precious memories and keepsakes to have forever.

How to Wear Joggers as Workwear

August 30, 2022 by Katie H.

Outfit ideas with joggers as workwear

I recently polled my Instagram followers on what kind of clothing pieces they would like to see styled and I had a lot of requests to see how to wear joggers as workwear.  It didn’t surprise me because last year I did a post on how to style dressy joggers and it was one of my more popular posts. I mean I get it because who doesn’t want to be comfortable in a work setting, but still, feel and look professional?

10 Tips For Building A Wardrobe On A Budget That You Will Love

August 24, 2022 by Katie H.

wardrobe on a budget

Top || Skirt || Jacket || Sandals (similar) || Purse (similar)

I feel that this post is long overdue, but I think it’s finally time that I share my best tips for how to build a wardrobe on a budget. For the last 9 years, I have been on a style journey to create an affordable wardrobe full of clothes that I love to wear. After college, I found myself in a style rut. I wasn’t sure how I could transition my wardrobe into adulthood. With student loan debt and a low-paying job, I didn’t have the money to shop for a brand-new wardrobe.

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!
