DISCLAIMER: This is a sponsored post brought to you by HauteLook. Oh and Tyra…I am the world’s most awkward model so please don’t judge me for that. I am a thirty two year old stay at home rarely exercise mom who is with child. ‘nough said.
Last week we hit the rodeo.
I am so glad that this dress came in time from HauteLook because I REALLY wanted to wear it as a tunic. I wear two outfit combos these days. Both are really similar and they are both extremely comfortable. I am in that weird stage of pregnancy where I don’t actually look pregnant most of the time…I just look a little chubs. Like ‘whoa-girl-too-many-chips-ahoy” not “aww-you-are-all-belly-you-cute-pregnant-girl”. Wait. Nobody has ever said that last thing to me anyway. I am a grower and a shower. Tunics are my friend.
HauteLook offered me a chance to do a little shopping. And shop I did. I bought two dresses (they were on the shorter side and my legs are somewhat on the longer side and my kids are on the rowdy side so I plan on using them with something underneath to avoid showing my private side) and a pair of boots.
I had never shopped on HauteLook before but now I am kinda hooked. I like the fact that they have affordable shoes and jewelry and there are some clothes that I could never find for those prices in stores. I mean…the details on this shirt are out of this world.
Tunics (or short dresses in my case) and stretch jeans and boots? Uniform number one. Covers the mini-chub, the rear end, and still looks a little bit polished for this stay-at-home-mom.
The second look that I put together is my other uniform. Dress/tunic, leggings, flats and a cardigan. Sometimes I add a belt, sometimes a purse…sometimes a bit of jewelry but everything is REALLY comfortable.
I like to stick to tops that have details at the top. Keeps the eyes where it needs to be. So that folks don’t focus on my hips.
So here’s how it works. You have to go enter your email address and join up. Click here to do that. It’s easy and free and they don’t send annoying stuff…so go join. Then you can shop. The prices are up to 75% off the normal prices for Men, Women’s and kids fashion and they also have HOME STUFF.
Now…what is your uniform these days?
p.s. I did a bit more shopping last night and these are my current picks if HauteLook wants to send me more stuff. Or Jeremy…feel free to get me those earrings. Wink wink 🙂
Gorgeous!!!
I love that first top/tunic! Plus jeggings and boots are my fall/winter staple!
I really don’t need more online shopping opportunities but I will give HauteLook a try 🙂 I loved that tunic striped dress you linked also.
I’m sorry to be all bothery…. but are you going to spill the deets about Baby #3? Please please pelase? Moodboards for nursey? Gender and more behind-the-scenes looks at how your pregnancy is going? No behind-the-scene looks at how the pregnancy began… you know what I mean… awkward…. I JUST LOVE BEBES. MMMK?!?!?
Can you tell me the price of the red tunic? ADORABLE!
I LOVE HauteLook, I’ve bought so many things there! I usually don’t go for daily sale type sites because it’s too easy to end up with crap, but I like HauteLook because it’s name brands (which I’m not obsessed with, but it does help when buying online) and they are a Nordstrom company.
You look fabulous, I LOVE that white tunic!
How absolutely adorable are you?! I love skinny jeans/leggings with boots and a long top. I’m a school counselor so modesty is a must. My motto, when in doubt throw on a scarf.
I love those leopard flats! I’m pretty sure that is my favorite style of flats from Target. I just ordered some new ones the other day.
A couple of things I love about HauteLook are:
Affordability! Look how affordable the necklaces are from your wish list!
They are a Nordstrom company! Nordstrom has excellent customer service. And we LOVE Nordstrom Rack too!
1. You are super adorable!! Love the outfits. 2. I wish those Dillian Tall Buckle Boots weren’t sold out, I love them and I love the price.
I love the two outfits you picked out, Katie! I’ve heard a lot about HauteLook from YouTube videos but I’ve never been to their site. Off to check it out! 🙂
Both looks are great!! I like tops that cover the rump! I have the Target boots but haven’t worn them yet….seeing them on you makes me want to dig them out of the closet. LOVE red lipstick on you!
Oh pretty…tunics ,bag and hairdo.. let us know what products you use and how you take care of your hair if possible.
red lips is such a great look for you, katie!
Katie-LOVING your boots! Where’d you get them???
OK this might be a little weird, but how tall are you? I’m 5’10” and I always have trouble finding tunics that are long enough for me 🙁 Those look just right on you though.
Where did you find those cute tunics on the site?? I am in desperate need of some tunics for fall!!
Ahh, I liked those boots – both of them! And of course – they are sold out 🙂 You are adorable though and you look so happy and healthy – perfect baby mama!
Katie, you are so gorgeous. It drives me crazy every time you say something in that all-too-typical self-deprecating way that too many girls/women tend to have. I look at your pictures and think, “Geez, if she thinks she doesn’t look good, then what the hell do *I* look like?!?!” Give yourself some credit, mama. You are beautiful! 🙂
That lace top is beautiful Katie and so are you!
I seriously adore that red tunic! You look so cute!
I’m obsessed with HauteLook! They have the best deals and the cutest stuff, leave it to a Nordstrom company to get it right! You look great! I especially love the white tunic in the first look 🙂
My go-to work uniform is either a pencil skirt/top or dress/blazer combination. For weekends I live in jeans, sweaters, and thankfully now seasonally appropriate boots.

Love these dresses, Katie! Especially in love with the red one 🙂 Going to have to check them out!
I LOVE them! Which brand is the off-white tunic? I have been searching for some cute ones to wear to work and I love the details on it.
Both looks (and you) are adorable. I just finally grew out of the “I ate one too many Haagen Dazs bars” look and I’m quite thankful to actually look pregnant. Thanks for the heads up on HauteLook. I’ll be checking them out now!
First off – you look adorbs! Secondly, I love that dress shirt/shirt dress/dress. Thirdly, I love your Coach bag. I’ve been searching for a similar one in black and didn’t find one at my local factory store.
you go girl!
Are you still nursing Weston? I have a 7 week old and am having the hardest time figuring out nursing friendly outfits. I love both of those you posted, but I can’t envision nursing in public in them. I would love if you could do a nursing fashion post!
So stinkin cute! And yea, those dresses would totally be tshirts on me too lol! How stretchy is that white one? I’m entering my third trimester, but that top is sooooo pretty! If I can fit in it, I want one 🙂
You look young and amazing! I love both outfits, mostly the boots in the first.. and your hair in the second!
Super cute! Maybe I am missing it from your post, but how do I find these? I am a Hautelook member and they aren’t coming up! I loooooove the color of the bottom one.
This is not really on topic completely but I love your bun in the first set of photos. Did you follow a tutorial or just wing it? Sorry if this seems weird – I am always in search for topknot/updo perfection techniques. My hair always looks like my head pooped a nugget when I try to make a bun (and my hair is long)
Love those boots! Are these the ones you have on? http://www.target.com/p/women-s-mossimo-supply-co-katherine-genuine-leather-engineer-boot-brown/-/A-11197588#prodSlot=large_3_14
I need a uniform. My closet is a bit too random and scattered – I buy things I like (that are rock-bottom cheap, without much regard for future outfit-pairing. (So I end up with four black skirts, six short-sleeved black tops, who-knows-how-many black cardigans, and a pile of slightly-different-from-each-other black shoes. *sigh*)
Oh, wait – maybe that *is* my uniform. The Uniform of Death.
Cute tops you chose for both outfits. Just wanted to let you know i had to do a double take since your first pic looked like Britney Spears (in a good way!)
Very cute outfits, Katie! The white dress/tunic is my fave. What is the name of that Coach purse type? I love it!
You look gorgeous! I was never a “glowing” pregnant woman (unless you count my pregnancy-induced acne!)…you are! Own it!
What is the name (style) of that coach bag? I love it!!
You are super cute, Katie Bower! I’m not pregnant, but I am totally potato shaped so I’m stealing these maternity looks for my non-maternity wardrobe! Thank you!
You’re adorable and so loved!! Love love love both outfits!
wow both outfits are super cute!! And your hair has gotten so long! It grew fast!
You look adorable!

Katie,
You truly are beautiful. You should model!
I am serious!!!
B.
I stick with neutrals (gray/navy/white/blue) on top and either denim or gray shorts (long shorts since this momma had a little too many bowls of ice cream last pregnancy).
It’s funny how style changes after kids.
Both of these outfits are so freaking cute, but I’m in LUUURRRRVVVEEEE with the first one for sure!
Super Cute! Are those the Mossimo Supply Co. Katherine Genuine Leather Engineer Boot in Brown from Target? Did you order a size up like some of the reviewers suggested? Thanks
These outfits are CUTE. You’ve inspired me to join HauteLook! I want them to send me free clothes, too 🙂
xo,

I have the same Coach bag !! Love it !! I got it in orange/red. Its so fun !!
I love all of this! Do you mind sharing what brand the white shirt/dress is? I NEED it 🙂
You look too cute! I may have to steal some “uniform” ideas. Cardigans are my bff. They hide all kinds of things. Like arm fat and belly fat. Fat fat fat everywhere!
But it doesn’t hide my double chin. Boo.
It was called the Monoreno Crochet Yoke Tunic.

It’s called the Park Leather Hobo in British tan 🙂

Well, these exact dresses might not be available anymore. They get new deals in every day so you never know when a particular brand might be available and the deals sell out quick.

The white one isn’t super stretchy but it is sortof loose fitting.

It’s the Monoreno Crochet Yoke Tunic.

I’m 5’7″ but I have a short torso so I usually wear a 36″ inseam…if that helps.
xo – kb
Haha. I wash it every three days and hardly ever condition…and when I fix it wavy, I get out of the shower and just scrunch it with Frizz-ease mousse 🙂 That’s it!

I am still nursing Weston but we are down to two feedings so it’s not like I have to do a lot of public nursing. When I was doing a lot more I wore a lot of vnecks and just pulled down or wore a button down with a tank under. Some folks like to pull the shirts up but that whole exposing the stomach thing just isn’t me 🙂
xo – kb
You’re right. I’m the poo 🙂
xo – kb
They were under a weird title called Fall Favorites.
xo – kb
Target!

No deets yet! I wish I knew more!
xo – kb
It was just under $30 I think.
xo – kb
Yes those are the ones! I ordered up a whole size and it worked great.
xo – kb
Yes!

Usually I just do a pony and then with the third loop of the ponytail holder I pull the hair half way through and then twist it and pin with a bobby 🙂

I’ve seen ads but never checked this company out before – thanks for the tip.
You look amazing. You really get dolled up for a rodeo 🙂
OOOO! Katie, is that “THE BAG” you finally treated yourself to when your BFF Sherry visited?!
You make EVERYTHING look adorable!
you look great girl
How do u like Frizz-ease…..and what makeup/ moisturizer do you use! Sorry if im being nosy. 😉
Would like to know what a busy mom like you would do to take care of yourself.
Beautiful. You look beautiful.
I can’t find the red one. Do you know the brand? I wonder if they already took it down 🙁
Omgoodness “potato shaped” made me laugh so hard! I am totally a post-two kids former pear, now just a potato/ pineapple / big fat square shaped fruit! Lol!
I just got a pair of earrings that look almost exactly like the ones you linked to at Target for $2.00! Maybe they still have some at your store???
They probably already sold out. Stuff goes fast!
xo – kb
I always check and they didn’t have them on Monday…maybe now?
xo – kb
I like the mousse! And I use no moisturizer and usually whatever makeup is on sale.
xo – kb
Hey katie,
Your blog format seems a little wonky. Anyone else having problems?
Everything is shifted down a bit with the menu bar being covered up by a black line. Maybe it’s just my pc?
Really…no moisturizer?? you are kidding right? For some reason I presumed you might be particular about these things… As you are about decorating. 🙂
Guess u r blessed with good skin!
Nope. I’m lucky if I wash my face 🙂
xo – kb
Maybe! Is anyone else having that issue?!
xo – kb
Yes I am too!! thought it might be getting fixed so I just kinda waited…Its all off to the left and I see the black bar through the menu bar too.
Love! You look great!!! Who actually makes the white tunic?! I love it:)
They are both Monoreno I believe 🙂
xo – kb
Love the white one! Though I’m a little horrified that they’re supposed to be dresses, haha!
You are beautiful! Definitely glowing 🙂
Katie — I’ve been searching for a similar bag for a while now too. Is that Coach bag a recent one? Can you share any details about it? Thanks!
Yes pretty recent! I got it at the outlet.
