6 Ways to Style a Black Jumpsuit

6 Ways to Style a Black Jumpsuit

It’s no secret that I’ve had a lot going on in the last month or so.  My family and I moved across the country, I quit my job and we moved into a brand new house.  I can’t hide that all these big changes haven’t always been super easy for me.  It’s been a roller coaster of emotions.  I’ve felt excited, stressed, sad and hopeful all at the same time.  When I’m going through all these ups and downs, I often lose my sense of creativity with my outfits.  I get into a rut of wearing the same clothes over and over again in an effort to stay comfortable and happy.

3 Ways to Wear a Button Front Denim Skirt

3 ways to wear a button front skirt
In case you haven’t heard…denim skirts are back and I’m super excited about it!  I wore denim skirts as a little girl, then again in high school and we can’t forget the denim skirts with the Ugg boots trend that I definitely tested out in college.  But then after I graduated college it seemed like denim skirts were out.  I ended up getting rid of all my denim skirts as I cleaned out my closet, but now all of a sudden, they are making a comeback.  Read more

My Thoughts on a New Life and Blogging

May 13, 2019 by Katie Haller

Mommy and me

I have so many thoughts racing through my mind about all the changes happening in my life right now, so I thought I’d sit down and share some of them.  First of all, thank you to everyone for your support with my news about quitting my job and moving back to Michigan.  My husband and I have been faced with a lot of big decisions in the last year and it’s always hard when you are trying to make the best choice for yourself and your family.  I definitely appreciate all your comments and support as we move on to the next step chapter of our lives.

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!
