Helping women love what they wear on a budget

How to Wear Joggers And Still Feel Put Together

January 20, 2021 by Katie Haller

 Comfortable jogger outfits that still feel put together
Let’s be honest…How many days per week do you spend wearing sweat pants?  I wear them more than I would like to admit, but they are so comfortable.  Even when I was working full-time every day, the first thing I did when I came in the door from work was take off my pants and slide into a comfy pair of sweat pants.  I can not get enough of jogger sweat pants.  I like how they tapered at the ankle and I love a good high waist. I have several pairs of joggers because I just love them!Read more

7 Month Baby Update

I was going to skip a 7-month update blog post and wait until 9 months, but I feel like Anna has met so many big milestones this month that I just can’t skip it.  We celebrated Anna’s first Christmas and her first New Year.  Now we are moving into 2021 and I’m so excited that I get to start a new year with her in it.
 Anna is officially on the move.  I knew it was going to happen soon enough.  She is army crawling everywhere!  If she sees something she wants, she will do whatever she needs to get to it and put it in her mouth.  She especially goes out of her way to crawl to our iPhones, the remote, and her brother’s toys.  She’s also popping out teeth like crazy.  She now has 4 teeth and 2 on the way!  I am a little caught off guard by all these teeth showing up.  I wasn’t expecting them so soon.  Luckily the first teeth didn’t seem to bother her too much, but this next set of teeth that are coming through have made her extra clingy.  Hopefully, she will get a break soon.

Maternity Outfits You Can Wear Before, During, and After Pregnancy

January 11, 2021 by Katie Haller

Maternity outfits that you can wear before, during and after your pregnancy

*This post contains affiliate links

I don’t know why, but maternity fashion is always overwhelming for most pregnant women.  I think that we tell ourselves that we are supposed to dress in a different way because we are pregnant and our bodies are growing.  We tell ourselves that we need to buy “maternity clothes”.  The truth is, when it comes to your maternity fashion, nothing needs to change.  You can wear the same outfits that you always wore before you were pregnant, and you can continue to wear those outfits long after your pregnancy.  All you need to do is invest in a few maternity pieces here and there (read more on what maternity clothes to buy HERE) to help fit over your growing belly, but overall, you should be able to get by with buying the bare minimum amount of maternity clothes.

Essential Maternity Clothes: What to Buy And Avoid Buying While Pregnant

January 10, 2021 by Katie Haller

Essential maternity clothes: Maternity jeans

When it comes to building a maternity wardrobe, it can often be overwhelming and a little confusing.  Some people might think that you need to buy all your clothes in the maternity department when you are pregnant, but that’s not the case at all.  Obviously, every woman is built differently and everyone starts showing at different times.  I still believe that most women can get away with buying only a few essential maternity clothes in the maternity department.

2020 Beauty Products Review

January 8, 2021 by Katie Haller

Favorite beauty products of 2020

*This post contains affiliate links

Just like I shared my favorite clothes purchases of 2020 (Read about that HERE), I wanted to round up and review some of my beauty purchases of the year.  I know that many people might think that 2020 wasn’t the best year to be buying many beauty products since most of us spent the year at home, but for me, 2020 was all about beauty products, especially makeup.  Doing my makeup helped me get through the year.  It made me feel good about myself and helped give me some normalcy in my life during all the chaos of 2020.

Cozy, Casual Real Life Stay-At-Home Mom Outfits

January 4, 2021 by Katie Haller

Cozy, casual outfits

If 2020 taught me anything at all, it’s that you can never have enough loungewear.  Between being a stay-at-home-mom, spending half the year pregnant, and then going through a global pandemic, my wardrobe has officially shifted to the casual side.  Leggings, joggers, and slippers are my new go-to daily clothes.  I do miss wearing jeans and getting ready to go somewhere every day, but I just don’t feel the motivation to get out of my cozy clothes any time soon.  That doesn’t mean that I’m not going to put together cute cozy outfits.  Just because you are wearing loungewear all day, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t still feel cute and put together.
