Helping women love what they wear on a budget

What I Wore Then vs. What I Wore Now

February 16, 2022 by Katie Haller

 

It’s time for another What I Wore Then vs. What I Wore Now post!! I absolutely love doing this series.  It’s a chance for me to share how my style has evolved, but also show how I am still wearing some of the same clothes that I wore 8 years ago.  The outfits may change with the times, but the pieces you wear don’t need to.  You don’t need to run out and buy a new wardrobe every year.  You can just build upon what you already have and find new ways to wear your clothes.

Trends to Try- How to Style a Shacket

February 8, 2022 by Katie Haller

Trends to Try
Shackets came on to my radar about a year ago.  At first, I wasn’t crazy about the trend.  I mean they kind of gave me a factory worker/ lumberjack vibe.  But the more I saw them styled the more I started thinking that it might be a trend that I could try.  They do serve a function as a jacket and I know that they can be versatile in my wardrobe, so I decided to be opened minded about them.

Affordable Comfy Work Pants

February 1, 2022 by Katie Haller

 

Comfy work pants
I recently realized that there was something that was missing in my wardrobe and that was a classic pair of black work/dress pants.  I don’t really have the need for a pair of dress pants.  It doesn’t fit the needs of my lifestyle, but it is an important wardrobe piece.  You never know when you might need to dress professionally for something.  That’s why I started the hunt for a good pair of black dress pants a few months ago and guess what?  I found nothing!!

Easy Casual Winter Outfits With Jeans

Easy Casual Winter Outfits

Is it still January??  This is the longest month of the year for me by far.  It’s also probably one of the hardest months of the year for me to dress for.  Coats and boots are all fun and cute the first few weeks you wear them, but when you need to be bundled up every day it can get a bit boring for me.  That’s why this month I have been focusing on sharing a lot of easy winter outfit ideas.  You may have seen some of my winter outfit reels on Instagram. It’s my way of inspiring all of you to step up your winter outfits, but it’s also forcing me to step it up as well.

4 clothing items that you can add to your work wear wardrobe to give your everyday work outfits an upgrade.
The holidays are over and now it’s time to head back to work.  I always like to start off the new year refreshed and motivated.  Some of you may have made a new year goal to dress cuter.  I always feel like my outfit can help me have a more productive day, so when I was working I made it a goal to always wear something that I felt cute and confident in.  Winter can be hard to stay creative though.  I always find myself in an outfit rut in January.  That’s why today I want to share 4 different wardrobe pieces that can help upgrade your workwear wardrobe this winter!
