November 8, 2015 by Katie Haller

As you may already know, I’m kind of obsessed with stripes. Why do pregnant people look good in horizontal stripes? I have no idea, but they are my favorite patterns right now.

Here are my stripe outfits from the weekend.

Saturday

Tunic Tank Top- H&M
Leggings- Kohl’s
Sweater- Target
Shoes- DSW

Sunday

Dress- Old Navy
Jacket- Meijer
Belt- Target
Shoes- Target

Here is my baby bump picture for the week. I feel about the same this week as last….lots of growing and lots of pain for mommy in my ribs, but other than that, things have been great. He’s been kicking away and I love feeling that!

Have a wonderful week!

Celebrity Looks- Kristin Cavallari Maternity Style

November 6, 2015 by Katie Haller

Of all the recently pregnant celebrities out there, I don’t think that anyone has pulled it off better than Kristin Cavallari. She looks amazing pregnant, even on her third baby! I have enjoyed being pregnant around the same time as her because I love seeing what she’s wearing and how she’s styling her baby bump.

For this post, I went through and pulled a few of my favorite looks that Kristin Cavallari has worn during her 3 pregnancy’s and then I recreated the looks by using my own clothes from my closet. Here is what I came up with.

Here is one of Kristin Cavallari’s Instagram pictures showing off her little baby bump. I thought this was a great look for fall. I love the denim and the striped tops together. I wore a striped long tank top from H&M (exact), a denim button-down from Target (similar), black leggings (similar) with a pair of brown riding boots (similar).

I love this look that she wore while traveling through the airport. It’s such a great travel look while pregnant. I love the black leggings and top with the long cardigan. It’s such a comfortable and stylish look. (I probably wouldn’t be able to pull off this look with the heels in my normal life, but I still tried so that I recreated the look.) I wore black leggings (similar), a black tank top from Forever 21 (similar), a long cardigan sweater from H&M (exact) and ankle boots from Kohl’s (similar).

I love a cute blazer look. That’s why I really love this simple blazer look that she wore. I wore black jeggings from TJ Maxx (similar), a white T-shirt from Target (similar), a grey blazer from Kohl’s (similar) and black flats from DSW (exact).

Maxi skirts are great during pregnancy, especially in the warmer months. I love how Kristin wore a striped skirt with the denim vest. I wore a striped maxi skirt from TJ Maxx (similar), a white t-shirt (similar) and a denim jacket (similar).

This last look is simple and casual. I love the scarf for when you don’t feel like showing off your bump that much. I wore white pants from Target (similar), a grey t-shirt from Target (similar), a black cardigan from Forever 21 (similar), a scarf (similar) and pair of flip flops.

I hope that you enjoyed these recreated Kristin Cavallari maternity looks. What celebrity do you think has the best maternity style?

I’m a little behind with my weekend outfit post, but that’s okay. It’s better late than never. I enjoyed a nice long weekend, celebrating Halloween and my first Nevada Day. Now that the weather has been so nice, Kevin and I have been getting out more on the weekends to explore the area.

Here are the outfits that I wore this weekend.

Here’s my weekly baby bump picture. This baby is doing a lot of growing right now and I’m feeling it. My ribs have been hurting a lot this week, making it really uncomfortable at times. I never stopped to think about just how much stress your body goes through during pregnancy. It makes me a little nervous for the next 3 months. If I’m this uncomfortable right now, I can only imagine how I’ll be feeling during my last couple of weeks. I guess it’s better than throwing up. Plus, I have to say that I love watching this little guy grow every day.

Have a wonderful week!!

What I Wore this Week- Maternity Style

October 30, 2015 by Katie Haller

It’s been a while since I last documented my work outfits, but this week I thought that I would try to spruce up my work wardrobe a bit. As I have mentioned before, my current job has a very casual dress code, which I’m really enjoying right now. Being pregnant, I want to be comfortable all the time. I also hate dressing sloppy, so I actually try every day to put something cute together that I will feel good in.

Here is what I came up with this week. (Please excuse my messy bathroom. It’s been so dark when I am getting ready for work that this is the only room with decent lighting.)

Monday

Tank top- Target (similar)

Denim button-down- Target (similar)

Leggings- Kohl’s (similar)

Shoes- Target (similar)

Tuesday

Shirt- Target (similar)

Sweater- Forever 21 (similar)

Jeans- Old Navy (similar)

Shoes- Old Navy (similar)

Wednesday

Sweater- TJ Maxx (similar)

Jeggings- Ross (similar)

Shoes- DSW (similar)

Thursday

Shirt- Old Navy (similar)

There’s no look for today because I don’t have to worry about getting dressed for work. It’s Nevada Day… a holiday I had never heard of before I moved to Las Vegas. I’m not sure why every state doesn’t celebrate their state with a day off work?

I hope everyone enjoys the Halloween weekend!

Words cannot express how much I am pleased with the current forecast here in Las Vegas. Yes, I still really miss the fall season back in the Midwest, but I’m loving the temperatures that we’ve been having here. It’s been in the high 70s and low 80s. It’s perfect weather! Especially when it comes to getting dressed in the morning. Nothing is off-limits. You can wear a dress, sandals, boots or jeans. Really anything is acceptable with this kind of weather.

Here are my looks for the weekend.

Saturday

Shirt- Target

Jeggings- Ross

Sweater- Target

Boots- Target

Sunday

Blazer- Target

Shirt- Old Navy

Pants- Target

Scarf- Old Navy

Shoes- Target

Here is my baby bump picture for the week. Not much has changed since last week. He’s still moving a lot and I’m still feeling good. Despite my belly sticking out, I feel pretty in shape and healthy. I’ve been trying to get outside for walks and do yoga and other at-home exercises as much as I can. I’ve got to say that I’m loving this second trimester.

Have a wonderful week!

My Closet-Throwback Thursday~ Denim Shirt

October 22, 2015 by Katie Haller

Happy Friday Eve! Here are a couple outfits that I put together last fall using my denim button-down shirt. I love this top because it’s so great for layering in different ways. In the looks below, I wore this top with white pants and with a black skirt. These are both perfect work outfits if you have a business casual dress code.
