2 Casual Ways to Style a Neutral Dress

 2 Casual Ways to Style a Neutral Dress

As everyone has been shopping the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale the last couple of weeks, I have been shopping for look-a-like items from the sale for less.  (You can check out all my favorite splurges and saves from my recent post HERE!!)  One of my favorite items in the nsale was this neutral-colored cotton midi dress.  I loved its style, so I knew I had to find a similar dress for less.  I ended up finding this crew neck neutral-colored midi dress on Amazon for $13 less than the Nordstrom dress.  I am so happy with my purchase.  This dress fits perfectly!  It’s true to size (I’m wearing a small) and it hits me at the perfect length, which is not always easy for me when buying midi dresses because I’m only 5’1.  Most are either knee length or maxis on me.

Travel Outfit Ideas from a Pilot’s Wife

Travel Outfit Ideas from a Pilot's Wife

 Let’s talk about travel outfits today.  This is a topic I’ve been wanting to cover for a while.  I’ve written posts on travel outfits in the past, but today I wanted to dive deeper into the topic.  Last month my husband and I went on a trip together for our anniversary. (Read about it HERE).  It had been a while since I had last flown so I went to Pinterest for some travel outfit ideas.  I am not going to lie, I was a little disappointed in what I found.

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale- Splurge or Save

July 16, 2021 by Katie Haller

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale- Splurge or Save
 It’s that time of the year again.  The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is in full swing and I’m sure that you have seen at least one blogger do a try-on haul of the sale by now on Instagram.  I’m not going to lie, I actually do enjoy seeing what everyone buys.  I mean I would be excited too if I got to shop the sale the first week and leave with six bags full of goodies.  However, I have to wait until the sale goes public on July 28th to shop it.  This isn’t a bad thing though.  It actually gives me plenty of time to plan out my wishlist and think about the items I really want, then enough time to talk myself out of it and look for affordable options.

6 Ways to Wear Biker Shorts

July 12, 2021 by Katie Haller

I don’t know about you but I got pretty excited when I saw that biker shorts were back in style.  As a kid in the early 90’s I loved wearing biker shorts.  I had little matching sets with matching skirts.  They were the best!

9 Affordable Effortless Summer Outfits

Summer is here and I am feeling very busy lately with life.  Nothing major is going on, it’s just keeping up with daily life that is getting me feeling like I don’t have time for very much.  Some days it’s difficult just to find time to shower and get ready for the day.  I really don’t have much energy to put into thinking about what to wear for the day, that’s why I’ve been keeping my outfits effortless this summer.
