Helping women love what they wear on a budget

Katie’s Closet~What I Wore this Week

October 18, 2014 by Katie Haller

I’ve been working way too much lately.  On an average day, I am at work anywhere between 10 and 11 hours.  I won’t get into any details, but let’s just say I look forward to making a change when I move.  There is one thing I love about my job… and that is finding new looks to wear to work.  I literally look forward to getting dressed in the morning.  (I know, I don’t have much of a life) I never liked having to wear a uniform to work.  I know that some people prefer not having to think when they wake up and get ready, but I like to be creative when I get dressed in the morning.  When I’m wearing something cute, I feel confident and ready to take on anything that comes my way. 

Here are the outfits that helped me get through this week.
Monday
Black dress- Target
Scarf- Charming Charlies
Cardigan- Target
Boots- Target

Black Jeggings- TJ Maxx

My Closet~Weekend Wardrobe

October 4, 2014 by Katie Haller

I just love putting together a Saturday outfit. There is no dress code on a Saturday.  Today was a cool, cloudy, fall day.  It’s the perfect day to have no plans at all. 
Here is my lazy Saturday outfit…

Checkered button down with boyfriend cardigan
Grey Sweater- Target
Checkered button-down- Target
Jeans- Old Navy
Boots- DSW
I just love this look. The checkered button-down is a new purchase. I’ve been looking for a shirt like this for a while now.  When I found it in my size on clearance at Target, I had to get it.  I have at least 4 of these Boyfriend Cardigans from Target.  They are always a good price and they are great for layering your clothes.  
This was just the perfect fall look for the weekend.

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! 💕
