Affordable Green Dress for the Holidays

December 15, 2021 by Katie Haller

I wasn’t planning on sharing this dress in a blog post, but then I decided that it was just too good not to share as many times as I could. Just when I thought that I was done shopping for the year, I saw this dress at Old Navy and because I am loaded up with super cash I decided to grab it. (Super cash gets me every time! 😂) I love the dress because it’s very basic. On its own, it’s just a plain dress, but once you play around with it and add some layers and accessories it becomes this very cute fun little dress.

2 Affordable Sweater Dresses from Amazon

November 15, 2021 by Katie Haller

This fall I have had a bunch of requests to style sweater dresses. Sweater dresses can be great to wear in the winter months because they are warm and cozy, but they can also be tricky to find new ways to wear. I am not a big fan of sweater dresses. I use to have one sweater dress a long time ago, but I never felt the urge to buy another one. I find them to be overly warm and last year when I was breastfeeding they were completely out of the question for me. This year I decided to give them a go and see what I could find.

How to Wear a Faux Suede Pencil Skirt

February 18, 2021 by Katie Haller

The last couple of weeks I have been struggling to keep up on blog posts. I have so many things I want to share on here, but it’s been so hard for me to set aside time to get all the things done. Between having an active/mobile baby now, and also a sassy 5-year-old on my hands, I feel like I don’t have any downtime to just sit at my computer and write. I try to stay up after the kids go to bed at night, but that has been hard for me. Some nights I just can’t do it and I head to bed right away, but other nights, like tonight, I try my best to get as much as I can done, so let’s see how that works. 😂

My Must-Have Winter Clothes and Accessories

Oh, winter! How I hate winter. I went 4 winters without experiencing a real winter when I lived in Las Vegas and I will tell you that I didn’t miss it one bit. The cold, the snow, the slush… all of it I don’t enjoy. But I’m back in Michigan now and I need to accept it. I grew up with winter and so I know how to handle it.

There are a few things that help me survive the winter months in Michigan. Having a garage to park my car, an auto-start on my car, and having winter appropriate clothes. I’m a happier person when I’m warm and comfortable in the winter, so having the proper winter clothes and accessories are the best way to get me through the cold winter months.

Here are my 5 must-have winter clothes and accessories!

Faux-fur hooded coat

I love a cozy faux-fur hooded coat! The fur keeps my face nice and warm, plus they just have a really cute winter style to them. My favorite winter coat that I own is from Gap Factory. It is the perfect everyday winter coat!

Must-Have Winter Clothes and Accessories

Snow Boots

The first thing I knew I needed in Michigan would be winter boots. You need something warm, something waterproof, and something cute. My snow boots from JustFab fit all 3 of those requirements and I just love them! I also bought a pair of duck boots this year on Poshmark as a backup winter boot to wear in the slushy wet weather.

Long wool coat

When I want to step up my outfits in the winter I wear my long wool coat. It’s so warm and I love that its full length. You can wear it with a dress or just wear it with some jeans and it will definitely dress up your look.

Turtlenecks

I hate it when my neck gets cold. I find scarves to be harder to wear these days, so I really love a good turtleneck in the winter. They keep my neck warm and they are super cozy.

Hats

The best way to keep yourself warm in the winter is to cover your head. I love wearing hats. I prefer beanie hats and baseball caps. I haven’t jumped on the Carhartt hat trend yet, but I know that they look like they will do a good job of keeping you warm. My favorite winter hats have come from the dollar spot section at Target. Check for them in the late fall. That’s usually when they have them.

Easy Winter Layering Outfits

December 21, 2020 by Katie Haller

When it comes to dressing for winter, it’s all about layers. You always need to be prepared for changing temperatures outside and inside. I’ve never liked big bulky winter clothes, that’s why if you peek into my closet you will see lots of lighter clothes that can easily be layered.

The key to keeping your layered outfits comfortable is to avoid over-layering. You don’t want your outfit to feel stiff and hard to move in. No one wants to feel like the kid from A Christmas Story…hahaha. I like to stick with lightweight clothes. Most of my sweaters aren’t very thick and fit nicely under a jacket or over a button-down shirt. Read more

3 Easy Ways to Style a Plaid Scarf

December 17, 2020 by Katie Haller

Did you catch my latest reel style video over on Instagram? If not, I shared a few ways to style my favorite plaid scarf. (Check out my reel HERE) I bought this plaid scarf last December at a local second-hand store. I’ve been looking for a plaid scarf like this for years. I love that it has green and red, so it’s great to wear around the holidays, but I also wear it throughout the winter with my coats. Sometimes it’s tricky to figure out how to wear a scarf. You would think it would be pretty easy, but it’s not always.
