Mini Fall Weekend Wardrobe Capsule- 10 Pieces, 10 Outfits

Mini Fall Weekend Wardrobe Capsule- 10 Pieces, 10 Outfits
I wanted to do a wardrobe capsule this fall, but the time just slipped away from me.  That’s why instead of doing a full fall wardrobe capsule, I decided to break it down and just focus on a casual weekend wardrobe full of some of my favorite staples that are in my closet this fall.  Hopefully, it will give you a few outfit ideas and you may even find a few new wardrobe pieces to add to your closet this fall.

Weekend Wardrobe- Casual Mom Style

January 16, 2017 by Katie Haller

It’s been so long since I last did a weekend wardrobe post.  Lately, my weekends are spent around the house and running errands.  We are moving at the end of the month, so I feel like I am just preparing myself for our move.  I also had a sick baby this weekend.  My poor little Jack had his fourth ear infection since September.  It’s so frustrating because I hate seeing him sick.  He doesn’t eat or sleep well when he’s not feeling well and it makes me sad to see.  Luckily he’s getting better.

To go along with my non-eventful life, I’ve been embracing a very casual mom style lately.  I’ve been really obsessed with a couple of my accessories from my closet that really help to dress up my casual looks.  I recently bought a pair of converse tennis shoes (here) and I’m loving them!  I’ve also been using my black satchel purse (here) that I bought this past fall.  I haven’t had a chance to use it that much, because it’s smaller than my other purses and I’m always needing to lug around a bunch of baby items.  But as Jack gets older, I’m able to run to the store without bringing all the extra diapers and bottles that I used to.

Here is what I wore…

Saturday  

Top- Target (similar)
Leggings- Forever 21 (exact)
Denim Top- Target (similar)
Scarf- Nordstrom (similar)
Sunday
Top- Nordstrom Rack (similar)
Cardigan- Macy’s (similar)
Leggings- Kohl’s (exact)
Those are my looks this weekend!  I hope everyone has a great week!

Weekend Wardrobe

August 10, 2016 by Katie Haller

I’m so happy that it’s August.  It’s the last month of summer and even though I love summer, I’m ready for some cooler temperatures.  I miss being able to wear jeans and layer my clothes.  Until then, I’ll continue to figure out my summer wardrobe by using what I already have in my closet. 


Saturday
Top- TJ Maxx
Shorts- Goodwill
Sandals- Target
Sunday
Top- Target
Shorts- Old Navy
Sandals- Target
It was a very casual weekend for me.  I hope everyone has a great week!!

Weekend Wardrobe- Maternity Style

February 7, 2016 by Katie Haller

It’s hard to believe I’m 38 weeks pregnant.  Baby could be here at any time.  I never know when will be my last maternity post.  I know I say this each week, but dressing a 9-month baby bump is hard.  I swear it gets harder each week, but at least I don’t have much longer to go. 
This weekend Kevin and I spent the entire weekend together.  We are enjoying our last couple of weeks as just a married couple with no kids.  I know that our lives will never be the same once we become parents, that’s why it’s nice that we have had some time to just appreciate our life as just the 2 of us. Don’t get me wrong, we can’t wait to be a family of three, but our little weekend outings together have helped pass the time while we wait for our little boy.  On Saturday we got free tickets to a magic show on the strip and Sunday we had a 2 person super bowl party.   
Here are my outfits from the weekend. 
Saturday 

Blazer- Kohl’s 

Shirt- Kohl’s 
Jeans- Old Navy
Shoes- DSW
Sunday
Dress- Target
Denim Jacket- Meijer
Shoes- Target
Necklace- Charming Charlie
Here’s my baby bump picture for 38 weeks.  I’m trying to stay patient and wait for this little guy’s birthday to get here, but sometimes it’s hard.  My belly is bigger than ever.  Work is definitely getting to be draining, but I’m proud of myself for powering through.  Staying busy has really helped me get through these last couple of weeks.

Have a great week!!

Weekend Wardrobe- Maternity Style

February 1, 2016 by Katie Haller

Another week down, another 3 more to go….hopefully only 3 more.  I’m getting to the end of dressing my baby bump.  Putting together cute maternity outfits has not only helped me pass the time while waiting for my baby to arrive, it has also helped me feel good about myself while I’m pregnant.  I just feel confident when I’m wearing something that I feel good in, even on those days that I feel like a complete whale, if I have on a cute outfit, it helps brighten my mood.

Here are my weekend outfits.

Saturday
Shirt- Target
Jeans- Meijer
Blazer- Target
Shoes- Target
Sunday
Shirt- H&M
Leggings- Kohl’s
Jacket- Meijer
Shoes- DSW
Necklace- Target
Here’s my baby bump picture for the week.  It’s almost time, yet I feel like it’s so far away still.  Not much has changed since last week.  This week my biggest fear has been that I’m going to go way past my due date.  The hardest thing about being pregnant is that nothing is in black and white.  Some babies come early and some come late.  I just need to relax and not think about it.  My baby will be here when he’s ready.  No one can predict how their pregnancy will go, and that’s just something that I need to accept.  Overall, I’m healthy and feel as good as one can feel during their 9th month of pregnancy.

Have a great week!!

Weekend Wardrobe- Maternity Style

January 24, 2016 by Katie Haller

It’s officially my last month of pregnancy!  So that means only a few more weekend wardrobe post with maternity outfits.  I’ve really enjoyed dressing up my baby bump, but now I’m really looking forward to getting my body back and putting together normal outfits.  I can’t wait until I can start rediscovering all the clothes in my closet that I haven’t been able to wear for a long time.  For now, I’m going to have to continue working to dress my baby bump, I’m sure I’ll have days when I miss it. 
So here are my weekend outfits this week. 
Blazer- Forever 21
Top- Walmart
Leggings- Forever 21
Necklace- Charming Charlie
Boots- DSW

Top- H&M
Leggings- Forever 21
Denim Jacket- Meijer
Scarf- Old Navy
Shoes- Target

Here is my week 36 baby bump picture.  There hasn’t been a whole lot of changes from last week. I’ve had a little more energy this week, but I’m still not sleeping well.  That’s okay because I’m sure it will be years before I can get a good night’s sleep.  I’m keeping busy, by trying to organize my house and get ready for this little guy’s arrival.  It’s only 4 weeks away…hopefully no more than that.

It’s time for another “what I wore then vs. wh It’s time for another “what I wore then vs. what I wore then” post. This week I am updating this pencil skirt outfit that I wore to work in 2014. There is nothing wrong with a classic black pencil skirt, but I am switching my pints from the top to the bottom with this printed pencil skirt. 

Can we also have a moment of silence for the big bubble necklaces. I loved my green bubble necklace. It always put a pop of color into any outfit, but I am kind of glad that we moved away from big statement necklace. They aren’t very easy to wear around little kids. 🤣 Instead of a statement necklace I added some color in with some statement bracelets.
