Real- Life Mom Outfit of the Day Roundup for September

October 1, 2021 by Katie Haller

Real-Life Mom Outfit of the day round up for September
 Can you believe that September is over already?  Where is this year going?  One goal of mine as we move forward to the end of the year is to get back into my monthly “outfit of the day” round-up posts.  I started doing more this summer, but I’d like to stay consistent and share them at the end of every month like I use to.

 It’s been a while since I’ve rounded up my outfits and shared them in a blog post.  The truth is, it’s been a while since I’ve loved all the outfits that I wore.  It’s going on 4 months since I gave birth and I’m so happy that I am starting to feel like my old self again.  My clothes are fitting and even though things aren’t exactly where I’d like them to be, I feel good in my clothes again and that’s what matters.  I could probably go on and on about postpartum weight loss and fall clothes and how wearing a cute outfit makes my day, but today I’m going to try to make this post short and I’ll just get to the outfits for now.

Daily Outfits- January Review

January 31, 2019 by Katie Haller

I’m so happy that we made it through January.  The first month of the year is usually a long one for me.  Kevin was away at training for most of the month, so it’s just been me and Jack during the week.  It actually went a lot smoother than I thought.  Jack was really good for me and I think it’s because he had all my attention and didn’t have to share me with his dad.  It was a good bonding time and it really made me appreciate the fact that my husband is home as much as he is with his job.


Son anyway, Something that I wanted to start doing this year on thriftywifehappylife.com, is a monthly outfit review.  I’m trying to make my blog more of a priority since this is what I love doing the most and sharing my daily outfits is what started it all.  I share a lot of my outfits on my Instagram that never makes it to the blog because it can be time-consuming to put together a post.  I also have a whole camera roll of outfits that sometimes never get shared.  I know that not all my readers have social media, so that’s why I wanted to do some daily outfit round up posts this year.  I like to share my daily outfits because I try to share real outfits that I actually wear in my daily life.  Some of my blog posts are just me being creative with my wardrobe and put together fun cute outfits, but sometimes I never get around to actually wearing those outfits.  With a daily outfit selfie, you get to see what I actually wore that day.  You can also see how often I repeat my clothes and wear them in different ways.

This month, I’ve been wearing a lot of my clothes that I got around Christmas time.  I’ve been trying not to shop too much, so I’ve also been shopping my closet a lot trying to make the most of my wardrobe.  It’s been chilly this last month, but nothing compared to the rest of the country where it’s been ridiculously cold.   I usually struggle with dressing for winter in Las Vegas, because I’m either too hot of too cold in my outfits.  It all depends on the wind and the sun to determinant how cold you will feel.  Another struggle for me has been the morning lighting.  It’s been really hard to take outfit selfies in the morning, because the sun rises so late.  I am really looking forward to longer days soon!

What I Wore- Weekday Wardrobe

June 10, 2017 by Katie Haller

Thrifty Wife, Happy Life- Causal  preschool teacher summer outfits
  As most teachers near me ended their school year on Thursday, the summer program at my school has just begun.  It would be so nice to have the entire summer off, but most early childhood teachers work throughout the summer, so I guess I knew what I was getting myself into.
  The hardest thing about working in the summertime is trying to figure out how to dress in the heat.  My dress code at work makes it hard to dress in the summer.  No open-toed shoes and no shorts.  That’s why I’ve been trying to wear a lot of sundresses, skirts, and flowy tops.  Anything to keep cool.
Here’s a recap of what I wore this week

Simple Sunday- Michigan Trip

July 10, 2016 by Katie Haller

It’s been a long fun, but also an exhausting week for me.  I just came back from a visit to Michigan to see our family and introduce Jack to everyone.  Jack did great with traveling and meeting all the new faces.  Now that we are home, I’m trying to prepare to go back to work on Monday and get Jack back on the west coast time. (I don’t enjoy a 3am playtime.) 
I’ve been so behind on coming up with outfit posts, but I have been trying to post some looks on my Instagram.  I do have some new posts that I promise I will get around to posting soon, including some more maternity posts and mom tips.  I’m excited to share it soon!  In the meantime, here are some pictures of my week!

Shirt- Old Navy/ Shorts-Good Will/ Shoes- Target/ Purse- Savers/ Shoes- Target

Dress- Savers/ Jacket- Meijer/ Belt- Target/ Purse- Savers/ Shoes- Target

I just loved being with my little guy everyday.

Jack went to his first parade and loved it.

I learned that the things I miss most about Michigan are green trees and sunsets over the water.  I love living out west, it has a beauty of its own, but I will always love being in Michigan during the summertime.

I know it’s going to be hard to get back to normal life tomorrow, but today I’ll just enjoy my time with my baby boy!  Have a great week everyone!

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!
