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.

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.

Cute and Comfy Outfits for Winter

January 6, 2022 by Katie Haller

 

A round up of cute and cozy winter outfits for women
Welcome to 2022!  I spent the last 2 weeks relaxing with my family.  The days leading up to Christmas were a little rough for me.  There was too much anticipation and excitement that I was struggling to hold everything together at home.  I decided that I would take a little break or at least a break from caring.  I stop caring about posting holiday outfit reel to Instagram or getting on my phone to check how my posts were doing or responding to the emails that came my way.  Instead, I listened to a book and started watching the second season of You on Netflix.  I did the things I never do in my free time, instead of the things I thought I should be doing and it was amazing!  I spent more time being in the moment with my kids and enjoying them.
