Inspired by Vanity and Me Style
Last Monday, as I was doing my blog rounds, linking up my Monday post and visiting blogs, I stopped by Laurie’s blog, Vanity and Me Style. I have always loved Laurie’s classy style but this is the first time I have tried to replicate one of her outfits. Laurie is a 50+ lifestyle and fashion blogger from the UK and she always looks put together in her outfits. On that day, the first outfit she wore really stood out with its white monochromatic tone and because I knew I could come up with something similar from my closet. I always have loved all white outfit and this was a perfect example of how to do it!
Here is the outfit and link to her blog post!
I knew right away which graphic tee I would use and paired it with my Target white skinnies. Actually the whole outfit is from Target apart from the belt (which is from Amazon). The Amour tee is true to size, not see through and nice and soft. The sandals, I found in the Target clearance section a few years ago.
I also just noticed that we are both wearing our sunglasses on the top of our head. I tend to use mine as a headband when the sun is not in my eyes.
I can see myself wearing this out on a casual date with my husband this summer and probably will wear it with flat sandals around the house this spring. could switch the jeans for shorts when it gets hot. Even with 4 kids, I can usually keep my white denim clean throughout the day and these have done well in the wash.
My front tuck went a little awry in this picture and I should have tucked it on the side too. I love the block heels on my sandals as they make walking comfortable. The straps were comfortable from the get go and the wide strap is right on trend.
We have many birds in our backyard as my mother in law has 6 birdfeeders out there. We see quite a variety and we think there are babies in this birdhouse but I couldn’t tell. I didn’t want to get too close and scare anyone!
Go visit Laurie’s blog! I am sure you will be inspired!

You did a great job! Style steals are fun to do and I always like Laurie’s outfits. She so elegant. We have lots of birds and bees and butterflies in our garden. Love it. We also have marters and hedgehogs.

Going to check out what marters are! Thank you, Nancy! Yes, Laurie is the epitome of class and elegance!

You did a great job recreating this outfit but the thing I’m most impressed with is that you manage to keep your white denim clean, haha! I always seem to have an encounter with a messy kid or spill something myself when I’m wearing white! It is a colour I’m slowly trying to wear more of though, although I’m not brave enough yet to try monochrome!
Hope you had a wonderful weekend 🙂

I do sometimes get dirty but so far it cleans up pretty good! Just can’t wear white on wet and muddy days!
Ellibelle
What a great monochromatic look! And loving those sandals! I need to add more shoes with heels to my closet, now that my youngest outgrew me!

Thank you. I need some white shorts since those white jeans are really too warm but until I find a good pair I will wear my white linen pants that are nice and flowy.
Michelle
I saw Laurie’s post when she wrote it. A great look on both of you! Fabulous style steal, Mireille! I am envious of your ability to keep your white clothes unmarred. I’m not that good at it.

I completely agree with you that Laurie always looks so well put together (though I’d argue that you do too in your fashion posts) and you did a fabulous job re-creating her look!

Thank you, Joanne! I am learning what works and doesn’t work and getting rid of what doesn’t.

Mireille, this is such a cute outfit! I loved Laurie’s when I saw it, too. And you interpreted it perfectly in your own style. I styled a very similar look way back in year 1 of blogging and haven’t done it again since. I think I need to copy your copy of Laurie! Thanks for linking up.
