Helping women love what they wear on a budget

Favorite Fall Look

October 13, 2017 by Katie Haller

Hi everyone!  I feel like I’ve been so busy lately, but you probably can’t tell by the number of blog posts I’ve been putting out.  I feel like I have so much that I want to share, including all my favorite fall outfits.  This time of the year, I am always inspired more with my wardrobe.  I love it when the weather starts to cool down and I can start layering again.  I have so many new clothes that I’ve purchased in the last 2 months, plus I’ve been working with some of my old wardrobe pieces and reinventing them.  

 For today’s blog post, I’m sharing one of my favorite fall looks.  It’s a mix of new and old.  I bought a couple items at Old Navy last month for my birthday.  I’m obsessing over leopard right now, so I picked out this leopard scarf that is the perfect fall accessory.  I also bought this long t-shirt at Old Navy.  I like how it fits and it’s perfect to wear with scarfs.  My jeans are old, but I’ve been into making my old jeans new again by adding a distressed look to them. (I promise to have a how-to post on that soon!)  These were a pair of jeans that I was debating getting rid of until I reinvented them and now I’ve been wearing them all the time.  My boots are from last fall.  I find ankle boots to be much more practical in the fall, instead of tall riding boots.  Don’t get me wrong, I love my tall boots, but they do make my legs hot, especially when the temperatures warm up in the afternoons.  My sunglasses are from my glassesshop.com post that I did back in July (post HERE).  I love the style of them with the cat-eye frames, which are super popular this fall.  My purse is also from last fall.  It’s from Last Call Neiman Marcus and unfortunately, they sold out of this style bag, but I did link some similar options because everyone has been asking me about it.

Planning outfits for a cruises cruise can be so much fun and I can’t resist a good theme night! Each cruise is different, but these were the theme nights from my 3-night Royal Caribbean last year. 

Make sure you check your itinerary to see if your cruise has any theme nights planned!

Happy Mother’s Day!! 💕 Today I am truly embracing this day and remembering how much I always wanted to be a mom! 

I recently came across a journal entry I wrote 10 years ago on Mother’s Day—right after my second miscarriage. I wrote that I was ready to be a mom, but I was so scared and worried about our future. I didn’t know when and if it would actually happen. 

One month later, I was pregnant with my son.

And now here I am, ten years later—tired, busy, deeply grateful, and fully embracing this season I once wanted so so bad! 

To every mom today—in the waiting, in the chaos, or missing the days that flew by—I see you. We are all in this together! 💕
