Blogger Copy Cat Collab Post
I have made so many good friends thru Instagram and so far the experience for me has been nothing short of wonderful. I have always wanted to do something with my creative side and I never really had the chance to fully dive head in before Instagram. Before I had an esty shop where I used to make blankets and homemade soap and bathbombs. Then I had Will and it was too hard to keep up. I have always loved watching fashion influencers photos to see whats in style and I wanted to do that.
I got divorced and suddenly had all of this free time that I have never had before. Previously I was a full time mom 24/7 and never had a minute away from my kids. Now I had every other weekend and I needed something that helped me find me again. So I took the leap and dove head firsts into Instagram fashion Blogging.
I loved Rachel from @pinterestingplans from the beginning. I watched her first and loved her style and reliability. She had multiple blog posts about how she became an Instagram influencer and I started taking notes. I loved everything she did and I wanted to be as big as her someday. So it was an easy decision to chose her when doing a Copy Cat Collab Post of Instagram.
1st post:
Her style is timeless. She is elegant and chic and makes it look so easy. For this look I grabbed the target tank she wore and added my own chenille cardigan and shorts.
2nd Post:
Her look, American eagle tank, I have the black version but it didn’t look right that way so I went with a white Old Navy tank instead. Both of us in the American Eagle blush Chenille cardigan and shorts, me American eagle.
3rd Post:
I don’t have the beautiful beachy background, Iowa has no beaches that are natural. But I did grab the Free people bralette and my necklace is only 18 from red dress boutique. My thermal is under 25 and from amazon and we both have on the tomgirl American eagle jeans.
Sephora Sale going on now! Sephora Post

Try on Haul for H&M Spring 2019
Love pairing sweaters and shorts and this Try on Haul for H&M was no exception. I couldn’t wait to put together the chunky sweaters with their affordable shorts! They have such good options from dress clothes to workwear to evenings out to causal. I covered all sections this try on session and have a youtube video to share showing the entire process.
Youtube video:
In the video I go over all of the looks and sizings for all of the items, if I think something is too big or too snug, how all of it fits. This is a valuable resource to get a better idea of how the item is going to look or fit on you. I am 5’2″ and around a size 4 or small in most items. With that being said I tend to fit best in a size 6 when it comes to H&M bottoms, maybe I just have a round bottom I don’t know but they have always run small on me. As for tops they usually run pretty straight forward on sizing.
Workwear try on haul for H&M:
Black pants were too long for me but a good enough price to get hemmed. They fit in a size 6 and were very comfy. This top is a size 4 and fit perfectly. It came home with me this day. I loved how it buttoned up and fit in all areas. This top is a size small as are most of them and pants are a size 6. Trench coats are a size 6 and I could have went down a size in them. Dress was originally a 6 and I went down to a 4. The coats were so darling I wanted to bring all of them home. Will need to wait for a major sale to do that though! I also paired it with a cardigan that is part of the conscious line and under 25, I also took that home because of the price.
This dress is only 15.00 such a steal! I didn’t even get it for that, it was full price in the store when I bought it. I wanted to show off all of the ways to style it with the different trench coats and also with the cardigan. Like I mentioned previously it was first in a size 6 but that was too big so I sized down to the four which was a much better fit on me.
This trench coat is so dreamy, I so wanted to get it but my coat closet is literally exploding right now. Such a pretty piece, truly timeless and chic.
I love this black as well but I do have one just like it from Abercrombie I bought last fall. This one is a good one and will not break the bank at under 70, wait for a sale of 25% off and grab this one.
I pair this cardigan with denim, black denim and black pants so far this season. I am sure it will look cute with shorts as well for this upcoming warm weather. Lightweight but still a good solid material. Under 25 this cardigan is such a good deal.
I could not find the link to this top but its a cute one, sleeveless with pleats, it complements the skirt well with matching pleats. I think you could put this top with white pants or camel pants and it would look so fancy. This blazer won me over and I am not normally a fan of blazers. It just looked so sharp and chic on I wanted to take it home but didn’t know if I could work it into my causal wardrobe as much as I would love too.
I loved this sweater and it came home with me. I love how this looks like a bodysuit and is super slimming. You could easily pull off this look with any high waisted pants. I think any paperbag pant would look good with this top, especially a white pair.
Office Causal try on haul for H&M:
Size 4 in jeans, extremely comfortable but not from H&M. Causal office wear of course with jeans. Most offices you could pair the tops with the black slacks in the first photo. This try on haul from H&M showed all the good stuff they have to offer to transition to spring from the winter.
These white tops are gold, not the color but worth every penny. You can dress them up and dress them down. Pair them with jeans, slacks or shorts they look good doing it all. I love how they look effortless and so chic.
Loving the neutrals in this try on haul from H&M especially with this tan sweater, don’t make the mistake I did and dry it though, it is now Pipers sweater. I love it but it no longer fits me, great price so I may have to get it again and be careful around the dryer.
One of my favorite sweaters, I have it in multiple colors! So easy and chic and comfortable, goes with jeans or shorts and looks so cute on. n I have the light gray and a camel color at home already in this sweater.
This sweater, oh how I loved this sweater. I ended up getting the camel one you see below in a few. It was so hard deciding but they all were so pretty and priced at 29 I knew I could only justify one to the closet addition. These look so good with shorts shown below.
Causal try on haul for H&M ideas:
Extremely causal part of the try on haul from H&M. Shorts and sweaters are some of my favorite combinations and I love how they look together. Try mixing and matching your favorite tops from winter with shorts and you will see what I mean. Such good combinations. I go up a size in their shorts and they were still on the snug side so make sure to size up. Love how the cropped sweaters go with the shorts in these photos. This particular pair of shorts is only 13! Such a good deal they are worth getting even if you have to size up.
For more spring looks head over to my other pages and check out my new youtube channel! Its just in the beginning stages so be nice lol. I hope to get more familiar with it soon. Its always a work in progress but you have to start somewhere right?
