Especially clothes are high-quality, affordable, and stylish? Last year I spent time trying my hand at personal styling services for myself via Stitch Fix for Women and . I had mixed results with both services, which prompted me to write about 16 Stitch Fix alternatives. It's funny that my husband often likes to shop and pick out new clothes for me, but he often hates picking out clothes for himself. I think he's handsome no ...

Though I was given a $20 credit to try Stitch Fix for free what follows is my honest Stitch Fix Review as a frugal, simple person. Fashionable is not a word I use to describe myself. Now or ever. I think I can look nice, but fashion-forward or stylish are not qualities I seek out in my life (while modesty I do seek out). It's not really me, especially because I am a stay-at-home mom with kids that frequently wipe boogers on my shirts, pull my hair, break my necklaces, and ooze out poop from their diapers onto my lap. Thus, fashion-forward clothes are not a big priority in my day-to-day life. However, I no longer want to ...

When my twins were toddlers I spent a very long time trying to convince them both that clothes were worth keeping on for the duration of an entire day, especially during nap time, along with their diapers. But, they were unconvinced. They knew clothes were overrated and that going pantless, shirtless, diaper-less, and certainly shoeless was definitely the way to go. Consequently, I picked up random pieces of clothing all over my house for a very long time. When they finally mastered dressing themselves, and also keeping their clothes on for an entire day, I was ecstatic! I no longer had to wrestle twins into pajamas, shirts, ...

There are many great reasons to buy used clothing online. But, not all online consignment shops are created equal, especially when it comes to buying used clothes. Some have some pretty great perks and incentives and great selections. Others, not so much.I have recently started buying more secondhand used clothing online for my kids. While I still do buy some clothing new (usually on clearance), buying secondhand for us is just a great way to save oodles of money on outfitting four children and even ourselves! With twins, the biggest on-going cost (besides food) is buying new clothes for them as we always need double the amount of ...

Want adorable, yet affordable, cheap maternity clothes or even free maternity clothes? Read on. Pregnancy lasts a mere nine months and the first three months of your pregnancy you can pretty much get away with no one even knowing you are pregnant. You may even be able to get by with some baggy jeans, sweatpants, skirts, or using a rubber band around your pants button and buttonhole for a while without having to spend any money on maternity clothes for the first trimester. However, if you are anything like me, I cannot escape wearing maternity clothes: my belly gets huge. But, who wants to spend a regular wardrobe price on ...

Burlington Stores sponsored this post. The opinions and text are 100% mine. When we were preparing for our big move from Indiana to Texas, I wanted to go through every closet, every box, and everything we own and declutter our lives, downsize, and get rid of us as much as possible. Not only would it make it easier to move, but easier to live. Among the possessions we purged were clothes. I got rid of lots of my old high school and college T-shirts. I live for a T-shirt, so this was a very big deal for me. I also got rid of pants, skirts, dresses, and coats and jackets. I did the same for my husband's clothes. However, knowing ...

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Clorox for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine. For the longest time I could pull off wearing the same jeans for like a full week before washing them. But, then I had kids who become toddlers, and ruined my freshly washed jeans on that first day out of the wash. I actually needed to have more than like two pairs of jeans now to last me the week.And white clothing? Magnet for stains. So, if you aren't a parent, let me explain. Little people, beside being adorable, and also loud, are dirty, a lot, and they don't usually care what they wipe this dirt on, because they don't think ...

We are a large family of six, and it can be a daunting task to know how to do laundry for so many bodies. My husband likes to change his pants (at least) after work for some "chillin' shorts." And my daughters like to play dress up, and my three year old likes to "accidentally" get himself soaking wet at the sink, and my baby's poop doesn't like to stay confined to a diaper. Add those to clothing changes because of swimming, ballet class, or colder/warmer weather, along with the sheets, blankets, and towels, and the laundry piles up quite literally day after day. But, I figured out a laundry system for doing laundry that is ...
