Helping women love what they wear on a budget

Weekend Wardrobe- Maternity Style

October 25, 2015 by Katie Haller

Words cannot express how much I am pleased with the current forecast here in Las Vegas.  Yes, I still really miss the fall season back in the Midwest, but I’m loving the temperatures that we’ve been having here.  It’s been in the high 70s and low 80s.  It’s perfect weather!  Especially when it comes to getting dressed in the morning.  Nothing is off-limits.  You can wear a dress, sandals, boots or jeans.  Really anything is acceptable with this kind of weather.
Here are my looks for the weekend.
Saturday
Shirt- Target
Jeggings- Ross
Sweater- Target
Boots- Target
Sunday
Blazer- Target
Shirt- Old Navy
Pants- Target
Scarf- Old Navy
Shoes- Target 
Here is my baby bump picture for the week.  Not much has changed since last week.  He’s still moving a lot and I’m still feeling good.  Despite my belly sticking out, I feel pretty in shape and healthy.  I’ve been trying to get outside for walks and do yoga and other at-home exercises as much as I can.  I’ve got to say that I’m loving this second trimester.

Have a wonderful week!

Weekend Wardrobe- Maternity Style

October 18, 2015 by Katie Haller

I always feel like the weekends just fly by, even when you had a quiet one.  This weekend I didn’t do much, but that didn’t hold me back from putting together some cute outfits.  I always feel like getting ready and putting on something that makes you feel good can totally turn around your day.   I especially feel like it’s important to try and look your best while you’re pregnant.  Pregnancy can be a really exciting time, but it can also be kind of lonely and depressing at times.  There is just so much going on with your body changing and hormones that it’s easy to get down sometimes.  Dressing cute can really help with all those emotions.  Besides, when you really think about it, pregnancy is a very short time in your life, so you really need to embrace this time and have fun with your changing body.

Here are my looks from the weekend.

Saturday

Tunic- Kohl’s
Leggings- Kohl’s
Cardigan- Target
Belt- Target
Boots- Target
Necklace- Charming Charlie
Sunday
Top- Walmart
Pants- Kohl’s
Shoes- Target
Blazer- Kohl’s
Here is my bump picture for this week.  He has definitely been doing a lot of growth in the past couple of weeks.  He’s also moving A LOT!  The other night I thought he was trying to break out.  It’s such a cool feeling, I can’t even describe it.

Have a great week!

My Closet~Weekend Wardrobe

October 5, 2015 by Katie Haller

Lately, I’ve been a little homesick for the fall weather.  I see pictures of all my friends back in the Midwest wearing all their cute fall clothes, and it makes me miss the season.  The good thing is that even though we have a long summer here in Nevada, it cools down and we get almost 5 months of fall-like weather, which makes me happy.

Today when I woke up there were clouds in the sky and the air was a bit cooler.  It made me feel like I was home.  I decided to put on some jeans and put together a fallish looking outfit.

Shirt- Savers
Sweater- Old Navy
Jeans- Meijer
Shoes- Target
I thought I’d show off my baby bump as well with my outfit since it’s an accessory I’ll be carrying around for the next 4 1/2 months.  The little guy is still pretty small, but I just hit the 20-week mark and so I’m sure there will be lots of growth in the next 20 weeks.  My goal is to stay in my normal clothes for as long as I can.  My jeans still fit, but I’ve been leaving the top button unbuttoned for comfort.  For my tops, I try to wear stretchy and loose-fitting top.  I did just buy a belly band at Target today.  I figured it will help me with staying comfortable in my normal jeans.

Have a great week!

My Closet~ Weekend Wardrobe

September 6, 2015 by Katie Haller

I hope everyone is enjoying their holiday weekend!  Labor Day marks the official end of summer, but for us here in Vegas, summer is nowhere near over.
Even though it’s still hot out, I’ve decided to try and get some use out of my jeans while I still can fit into them.  I’m 4 months pregnant right now, so I don’t have a bump yet, but I can definitely feel a snugness in my jeans.

The shirt I wore on Saturday is from Walmart.  I don’t typically shop at Walmart, but I was there buying school supplies for my classroom, and I couldn’t help but wander into the clothes section.  I ended up finding this really cute striped top for $6. 

Saturday
Shirt- Walmart (similar)
Jeans- Jessica Simpson (similar)
Shoes- Target (similar)
Necklace- Target (similar)
On Sunday I wore my favorite new t-shirt that I bought at Target a few weeks ago.  It’s so comfortable.  I’d like to buy it in every color, that’s how much I like this shirt right now.

Shirt- Target (exact)

I don’t share my husband much on here, but this I don’t share my husband much on here, but this trend felt like a fun way to look back at our story! I had to dig deep on Facebook for some of these photos! 💕

He was the one who told me that shopping wasn’t a hobby and I needed to find a free hobby to keep me busy when we were first married. 😅 So I started a blog about living life to the fullest and dressing my best on a super tight budget.

Little did we know that “free hobby” would not only one day turn into my job, but it would also be a way to fund my shopping habit. Even helping me become a smarter shopper along the way! 😉

Fun fact: The name “Thrifty Wife, Happy Life” came from him. When making big decisions, Kevin always said “happy wife happy life”. So when I was brainstorming a name for my blog that popped into my head and I decided to do a little play on words. The original name I was going to pick was “Katie’s Closet”. I’m glad I went with the name I did!
