How to Style Staight-leg Jeans in 2021

October 27, 2021 by Katie Haller

 Straight-leg jeans seem to be a hot topic at the moment.  Ever since this idea that you are old if you still wear skinny jeans came about, everyone either seems to be running out and getting straight-leg jeans or holding their ground strong and refusing to wear them.  Now I am not saying that I will be getting rid of my skinny jeans any time soon.  I still prefer them over straight-leg jeans, but I do like to have a variety of jeans in my wardrobe.  This helps my outfits stay fresh.

 9 Fall Outfit Ideas With a Plaid Shirt

What I Wore Then vs. What I Wore Now

October 13, 2021 by Katie Haller

 

Processed with MOLDIV
A few weeks ago I was scrolling through Instagram and saw a post from one of my favorite style bloggers Merrick’s Art.  (If you are not following this blog you need to!! She shares the best style tips!!) She has a series on Instagram where she takes outfits that she wore in the past and updates them to how she would style them now.  This post gave me an amazing idea for a blog post series.  I want to take some of the outfits that I shared in my early days of blogging and show you how I would style that same look now with updated pieces in my wardrobe.

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.
