Helping women love what they wear on a budget

Fabletics Athleisure Outfit

April 14, 2021 by Katie Haller

Fabletics Athleisure Outfit

Hi Friends! Last week I felt like I needed a little break from blogging.  I don’t know why, but I was feeling a little overwhelmed.  Normally I get excited to start a new month and plan out all my blog content, but this month I just wasn’t feeling it.  I’ve had a lot on my mind and my blog just needed to not be one of the things I was focusing on.  Sometimes that’s just what I need.  A short break to reset.  This week I’m refocusing and planning out some new posts for the month, so I hope you enjoy what I have coming up in the next few weeks.  I’m just trying to take it one post at a time and not overwhelm myself.  Read more

March Instagram Round Up

April 1, 2021 by Katie Haller

March Instagram Round Up

Happy April!  I can’t believe that March has come and gone.  March in the Midwest is always a curve ball.  You never know if it will start warming up or if you will get a spring snow storm.  Luckily this March was a pleasant surprise weather wise.  I’m loving the warmer days and the sunshine!  We’ve been able to get out to the park more often which has been so nice with the kids.

Organizing Your Small Closet on a Budget

March 29, 2021 by Katie Haller

Organizing Your Small Closet on a Budget
 Nothing makes me happier than a clean organized closet.  I feel like people often overlook the fact that having an organized closet will not only keep things tidy, but it will also help you save money.  When you have a place for everything, you know where to find it.  If you know what you have in your closet, then you are less likely to go out and buy something new.

Affordable Easter Basket Gift Ideas For Young Children

March 22, 2021 by Katie Haller

When I was a kid growing up in the ’80s and ’90s, my Easter basket was always filled with lots and lots of candy.  We had jelly beans, chocolate eggs, Reese’s peanut butter eggs, Cadbury eggs, and of course a big chocolate bunny that usually took us about a month to eat.  Occasionally we would get a little gift in the basket that wasn’t candy, but most years it was all about the sugar.  I don’t have a problem with my kids having candy (except for the baby of course), but I do try to limit it when I can.  That’s why when I put together my kid’s Easter baskets I try to do more non-candy gifts than candy.

How to Wear White Sneakers

March 17, 2021 by Katie Haller

Affordable white sneakers
 Who here knows the book Pete the Cat I love My White Shoes?  I always think of the song that goes along with that book whenever I wear white shoes. 😂  White sneakers are always a must have mom-wardrobe staple for me.  I love how classic they are and they go with pretty much anything.

Anna 9 Month Baby Update

March 15, 2021 by Katie Haller

Anna 9 Month Baby Update

Anna is 9 months!  It’s hard to believe how fast it’s going by.  I thought my first baby grew up way too fast, but I was wrong.  I feel like everything is going by so much faster the second time around.  It’s crazy to me how quickly things change from month to month when you have a baby.  She’s always doing something new.  Read more

Today I’m updating a longtime favorite look with a maxi dress that has a little more shape and structure—but still has all the things I loved about the original. Same formula (maxi + denim jacket), just a bit more refined.
