July Outfits (Part 1)
The month of July has been a month of brights! I have also enjoyed my white shorts a lot and wonder how I survived without a pair last year: I continue to vary my outfits with wearing shorts, skirts and dresses. As I mentioned in another post, I really am happy with my Spring/Summer wardrobe which has been a combination of donating what I didn’t like anymore and add some new things. With a less strict budget and a couple gift cards, I have been able to find some budget friendly things to add and it has been fun shopping (online).
Yellows
Purple used to be my favorite and I still like purple but yellow has become my top color to wear. I now have yellow sandals, yellow earrings, yellow tops and this dress with yellow! Wearing yellow makes me happy and makes me smile. I rarely wear this dress without a tee on top. This Amour tee is such a great layering tee and because it is white with black writing, it works with everything.
You can now have a better look at my new Target yellow sandals: at $34.99, they were not the cheapest but I love the wide straps and they are very comfortable. I had a $5 gift card that I was able to use with them. I have worn them several times a week since getting them so my cost per wear is going down quickly! My blouse you have seen several times as it is a souvenir from our trip to France last summer.
I usually don’t pair two flowy things together but this seemed to work and it was a cool outfit for a hot and humid day. Used a giftcard to get the Loft tank (the rest of my Loft purchases are for fall so they won’t make an appearance for a while.
Modcloth skirt for the win! I still love this skirt!
Red/Orange
Another summer purchase was this Target skirt. Loving the red/orange color!
Remixed with a different shoe and top! The way you know that you made a good purchase is that you reach for it and you can style it in different ways.
This dress got its own post last week! I just picked up a half cami that I plan to wear under it when I do not want to worry about cleavage! The color in person is a little more orange/red than the skirt above.
This oufit featured in this blog post was quite popular and was inspired by Paula from Dimples on my What. The blog post was featured as a favorite on Style Six The Queen in Between and This Blonde Shopping Bag, and on High Latitude Style blogs. Thanks ladies!
This thrifted dress I call my bubble dress: I have had it for years now and always pair it with a pair of cropped black leggings. I love the neckline too.
My 4th of July outfit. I ever thought I would like white sneaks so much!
White Bottoms
I decide to try something new and use my denim vest as a top (with a tank under). I really like the look and am going to try it with other things. The vest mostly lays unworn.
Return of the hand me down leopard tee and my new yellow sandals. I love them!
Rarely do I wear my white jeans in the summer as it is too hot but on this cooler day, I paired them with this Amazon tank. Went through my jewelry to find something different to wear: I have a number of pretty glass pendants that I need to wear more often.
Wearing a Christmas gift from my best friend Vero @jolikrea. Her talent amazes me!
Hiking
Yes, I actually do wear earring when I am hiking. The only time I usually don’t is on my runs in the morning and my evening fast paced walks. I love how I can hike in my Keen sandals, ride a bike and go rafting. These sandals are worth every penny but buy them in kid’s size to save money!
The white adidas are fine for hiking as long as I do not encounter mud. I usually try to wear joggers or longer shorts while hiking to prevent bug bites and scratches for branches and bushes. On this hike, I met up with a friend and her kids which we hadn’t seen in about 4 years.
A bientĂ´t!

It is a keeper, isn’t it?

Yes, I too love that yellow floral skirt, but your long red skirt and the red dress are really nice as well.
mimifce
Thank you, Penny! I have been enjoying them, espcially the dress as it is stretchy and nice for the weather.

I’ve actually noticed how much yellow you’ve been wearing lately and I love it so much! It makes me want to buy more yellow, too. I also love those yellow shoes and your leopard wedges – so cute for summer. Overall, lots of super cute looks!

You are so good at documenting your outfits. I think I’m partial to the yellow section. I really like those new Target sandals.

I really have developed an affinity for yellow this summer! I don’t know if fall will have focus on a color =)
Shea Lennon Sayers
You had so many great looks this month! I love all the colors in your wardrobe but I think I love your yellow outfits the best–that striped tee is so pretty, and I also love those colorful striped pants!

Color definitely is my friend this summer. Thank you!

A round of applause Mireille for wearing such a variety of outfits in one month and having two posts! I’m sure I would only have 4 or 5 outfits to feature and they would be very dull. Love the top from your friend with its eye catching tie. You suit cobalt blue and red very well – dramatic colors! Great to see you at #WowOnWednesday.

Thanks, Gail! Boring summer so clothes make it a little more fun!
Lisa Richardson
I love the yellows and the red/oranges. You’ve been putting together some really cute outfits! XOXO
mimifce
Thanks, Lisa! From the queen of cute, that’s a great compliment =)
Joanne
Lots of fun and bright summer clothes! I too just got my first pair of white shorts this summer and I am loving how versatile they are.
Lise
The primary/bright colors really suit you.
mimifce
Thank you, Lise!
Mica
You have so many cute yellow pieces – and you know i love the floral skirt! I really like your maxi skirt collection I think our summer styles are very similar, I love maxis in the warmer months. I still wear them in winter too, but they definitely get most wear in summer!
Hope that you had a lovely weekend 🙂 Thanks so much for joining the #WeekdayWearLinkup!
mimifce
I always think of you when I wear one! Weekend was good. Now getting lots of stuff done around the house. Monday was very productive!
Shelbee on the Edge
Mireille, you are killing it with your summer style! I love these bright colors on you and your shoe game is on point! The yellows are all so good and the red orange is just gorgeous! And since purple is your favorite color, I think pairing one of your lovely yellow pieces with something purple would be absolutely brilliant! Thanks for linking up!

Um.. going to have to think about the purple and yellow to see what would work! A good and fun idea! Thanks, Shelbee: I have been having fun getting dressed. Now to not buy any new clothes this month! Getting all the boys new shoes plus the oldest some church clothes and getting school supplies is expensive!

Fabulous Summer outfits! I love all the yellow and red pieces, they are great colours on you! Thanks for linking up!

So many great outfits, Mireille! I love the pops of yellow that show up in so many of your outfits. It’s one of my favorite colors, but doesn’t look that good on me. So I have to live vicariously through those who can wear it.
Look for that beautiful yellow floral skirt to be featured in this week’s Creative Compulsions.

Thanks, Michelle! That floral skirt is such a popular skirt! I have several blog posts featuring it, one where I copied Lindsey from Have Clothes will Travel and another 2 post showing different ways to wear it: amazing how versatile it is! Maybe it is a matter of the shade of yellow for your skin tone or what if it was in a skirt vs close to your face? I do have a couple of colors that do not do me any favors. Glad you enjoy yellow on others, so do I!
