How to Wear a White T-shirt and Jeans

March 9, 2020 by Katie Haller

How to wear a maternity white t-shirt and maternity jeans
 Are you ready for another post on Building a Maternity Wardrobe on a Budget?  I hope so because today I’m sharing 6 easy ways to style 2 maternity wardrobe staples.  A white fitted maternity t-shirt and maternity jeans.  I always feel like having a good base to start with is key, then you can just build upon that with layers and accessories.  When you’re pregnant, you will find yourself wearing the same clothes over and over again so it’s always good to have some fresh outfit ideas.

4 ways to style one dress- from summer to fall
 I’m so happy that it’s March and spring is near, but here in the midwest it still feels like winter.  I don’t expect spring weather to get here any time soon.  That’s why I thought I’d do a blog post today on stying a new dress in my wardrobe for both winter and spring.

23 Week Baby Bump Update + Second Trimester Outfits

February 27, 2020 by Katie Haller

23 week baby bump update

It’s time for another bump update.  I can’t believe how fast this pregnancy is moving along.  I’m 23 weeks, going on 24 this weekend!  The other day I was feeling so uncomfortable and I told myself that I needed to get used to being uncomfortable because I wasn’t even halfway through this pregnancy yet.  Then I had to correct myself when I realized I had already hit the halfway point 3 weeks ago.

I will admit, I don’t love being pregnant.  I miss having my body to myself and I hate being uncomfortable, but I will say I’m trying to enjoy this pregnancy as much as I can.  I know once it’s over I will miss it.

Easy date night outfits wearing snakeskin booties
Winter has always been a hard season for me to dress for.  It’s long, cold and I always find myself getting into a rut with my outfits.  I don’t mind repeating my clothes, but when I continue to wear the same clothes over and over again, I get bored.

I love a black dress, but on its own it’s a litt I love a black dress, but on its own it’s a little boring! Here’s my outfit formal for keeping my summer outfits from falling short! 👇

1️⃣ Create shape and balance! I did this by adding a belt just above my natural waist. 
2️⃣ Add Jewelry. Do not skip this step! No outfit is complete without at least 2 pieces of jewelry. 
3️⃣ Define the style of the outfit with shoes! The style of shoes you pick will define your outfit. Example Sneakers=casual, Heels=dressy, in this case I went with an elevated casual sandal. It’s a step up from casual, but not too dressy. Elevated casual is my personal favorite style because it can go either way. 😉
4️⃣ Complete the look with some accessories! A cute hand bag or sunglasses 😎 

Follow this summer outfit formula to keep all your outfits looking cute and stylish this summer!

I’ve always found thrifting a great way to keep wardrobe fresh without spending a lot of money, but over the last 5 years or so my thrifting strategy has changed from getting the most for my money to intentionally looking for brands and styles that are usually out of my price range at retail prices and finding them for less buying them second hand!
