Helping women love what they wear on a budget

Baby Girl Cactus Theme Nursery

March 12, 2020 by Katie Haller

Baby girl cactus theme nursery decor ideas
I have a confession to make.  I am really bad at decorating.  I know what I like when I see it, but I don’t know how to make it all work and flow together.  That’s why when people started asking me if I had a theme picked out for our new baby girl’s nursery I didn’t know what to say.  I hadn’t even thought of it yet.

How to Wear a White T-shirt and Jeans

How to wear a maternity white t-shirt and maternity jeans
 Are you ready for another post on Building a Maternity Wardrobe on a Budget?  I hope so because today I’m sharing 6 easy ways to style 2 maternity wardrobe staples.  A white fitted maternity t-shirt and maternity jeans.  I always feel like having a good base to start with is key, then you can just build upon that with layers and accessories.  When you’re pregnant, you will find yourself wearing the same clothes over and over again so it’s always good to have some fresh outfit ideas.

23 Week Baby Bump Update + Second Trimester Outfits

February 27, 2020 by Katie Haller

23 week baby bump update

It’s time for another bump update.  I can’t believe how fast this pregnancy is moving along.  I’m 23 weeks, going on 24 this weekend!  The other day I was feeling so uncomfortable and I told myself that I needed to get used to being uncomfortable because I wasn’t even halfway through this pregnancy yet.  Then I had to correct myself when I realized I had already hit the halfway point 3 weeks ago.

I will admit, I don’t love being pregnant.  I miss having my body to myself and I hate being uncomfortable, but I will say I’m trying to enjoy this pregnancy as much as I can.  I know once it’s over I will miss it.

Easy date night outfits wearing snakeskin booties
Winter has always been a hard season for me to dress for.  It’s long, cold and I always find myself getting into a rut with my outfits.  I don’t mind repeating my clothes, but when I continue to wear the same clothes over and over again, I get bored.
