Helping women love what they wear on a budget

Celebrity looks~ Kate Middleton Casual Style

September 13, 2014 by Katie Haller

It’s no surprise that I’m a huge fan of Kate Middleton’s style. This is not the first post I have done on the Duchess of Cambridge and my love for her classic, effortless fashionable looks. My past Kate Middleton posts have quickly become some of my most visited pages. I’m sure the reason for this is because I’m not the only one out there who just loves this royal style.This week the royal family announced some exciting news that the Duke and Duchess are expecting their second child. I thought that this would be the perfect time to do a celebrity look’s post on Kate Middleton.

Out of all of Kate Middleton’s fabulous looks, my favorite look that she sports is her casual style. I love it when she is dressed down. You can tell that she is most comfortable when she’s dressed in her casual clothes. I find her casual looks to be very basic and easy for me to recreate with my own wardrobe.

Shopping Finds~ What I Wore

August 22, 2014 by Katie Haller

I was recently asked by one of the parents at my work while picking up her daughter “You always have the cutest outfits on. Where do you get your clothes?” Well, I have to confess that I’m a little embarrassed to admit that my 2 latest favorite clothing items have come from the same store I do my grocery shopping at. The truth is I’m not afraid of buying clothes from anywhere. I will shop anywhere from Nordstrom to Goodwill and everywhere in between. As long as it fits my style and is a good price, I’ll buy it.

Here is my favorite outfit from this past week. I found this top at Meijer last weekend. The same place that I found my jean jacket a couple weeks ago.  I keep finding these great deals on Jessica Simpson’s clothes at Meijer. It’s not the typical place I would think of to find anything from Jessica Simpson, but I’m not going to complain. This polka dot sleeveless blouse was only $7.00. I ended up buying it. On Monday I wore it to work with a black sweater, black leggings, and wedge shoes.

The Power of Accessorizing

July 17, 2014 by Katie Haller

About a month ago I was going through a few dresses in my closet. I was trying them on to see if I wanted to keep them or toss them in the Goodwill bag. What I found was that on their own, I was not super excited about the dresses, but when I added a few accessories, it was like getting a brand new outfit!

Katie’s Closet Secrets

June 9, 2014 by Katie Haller

One of my favorite hobbies is putting together outfits. My clothes are my toys. I love looking through my closet and finding new ways to wear my clothes.
Even though I consider myself to be a smart shopper, the little purchase can start to add up. I’m trying to keep myself out of stores this month. Rediscovering your clothes is a great way to keep yourself content and out of stores when you’re feeling the itch to shop.

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! 💕
