What to Wear to a Fall Event with the Ageless Style Link Up
October’s theme was chosen by Cathy from My Side of 50 and was great theme where we could use our imagination: what to wear to a fall event. As a family, in the fall we enjoy going to festivals, apple orchards and pumpkin patches. Some years, we do all three, others none. This year, we have been busy with sports on the weekend so I am not sure we will have time to include any such activity. We are hoping to go to the apple orchard before the season ends though! For today’s pictures, my oldest and I went to a nearby cotton field, just a few minutes from the house. We probably should have waited about 10 minutes later as the sun was still a little high but almost ready to start setting and the lighting was not optimal for pictures as it was a little too bright.
I either wear an outfit which includes jeans for a fall activity or a dress with a denim jacket. Today, I chose one of my newer thrifted dress and paired it with my mustard jacket. Western boots are trending right now so I thought they would be a fun pair to wear. These were a special purchase years ago and are a “real” pair and have held up well.
I thought this picture was pretty cool with the geese flying. It is a little bright but I always feel like we are in a hurry to take pictures as I am imposing on my children to take them.
You can really see the pretty colors of the dress in this picture. It is really fun and much more flattering than this marroon dress that I ended up selling earlier this year. I liked that dress in theory but always felt like the color washed me out.
This new to me dress (it was new with tags) fits all the boxes for being an item that I want to keep in my closet. I reach for it frequently and want to wear it, it works for different occasions (I wore this exact outfit this Sunday) and the colors are happy and flattering. It looks great with all of my denim jackets too!
I’ve worn this dress with 2 different belts so far. I also plan to wear it with a sweater over it when it gets cold. The last picture in this post is from the first time I wore it and shows you are bright and pretty the colors are.
The cotton fields are always a fun place to take pictures. Cotton really looks strange on the plant! Here are some posts where I shared some beautiful pictures we took in the past: here, here and here. Here is one more: I want to wear that outfit soon!

That is a lovey outfit and I just love these photos. Sure the lighting might not be perfect to highlight your outift but it is beautiful with the sun streaking through and the pretty colors in the sky.

Thanks, Joanne! I am enjoying the different locations but the light sure can be hard to work with sometimes.

Boots are definitely always in my list for fall fashion!
Great inspiration!

Thanks, Sally!

Always love seeing that cotton field. Such a wonderful photo location!
The dress is gorgeous and the yellow jacket is a great finishing piece. Sorry about the other dress that you decided didn’t work for you. But I totally understand. I have recently done a color analysis and learned that warm/earthy tones aren’t flattering to my skin tone. Sad because some of those are my favorite colors. I’m still keeping my favorite pieces but now I know what to look for when shopping which does make shopping for clothes a bit easier.

As far as colors go, I really am figuring out what I reach for and what I keep putting back on the hanger. Some things I feel like I need to add a sweater, jacket or scarf for the color to work and those are limiting so I have donating some things.
Shelbee on the Edge
Oh my goodness, Mireille, this is one of my favorite outfits ever of yours! What a beauiful dress! The print and colors are gorgoeus and the fit looks fabulous on you. I love your yellow denim jacket with it. And of course, you know I love your cowgirl boots, too! Wonderful photos. Happy fall!

Thanks, Shelbee! That dress was such a find. I really am planning to wear my cowboy boots a lot more this fall.

That’s definitely a fabulous dress and I love how creative you are with changing up the belts, jacket and then today adding the boots!! Definitely a winner,

You have never looked more beautiful!! What a great find that dress was…new with tags!! Love all of the colors, and it can work all year round. That mustard jacket is one of my favorite pieces of yours and really makes the dress pop. I had a look at the marroon dress you mentioned having sold and I really, really like it to but these vivid colors are just YOU!!
I always enjoy your photo shoots from the cotton fields, too. We were rushed – or I was rushed – everyone else was ready to skiddaddle – and I didn’t get a chance to meander through the sunflower or cotton fields this visit to the pumpkin patch. Hope I can do that again next year.

It’s funny about the other dress, I wish it had been a brighter color or navy.. We took some more pictures in other spots this week for 2 outfits and the lighting worked much better.
Marsha+Banks
Mireille, absolutely stunning!! I’m not sure how many people can wear mustard close to their faces, but you definitely are radiant in it! And, the cotton field is a wonderful background for it!

Thank you, but it has to be the right shade. I had a top that was mustard that just didn’t work. I got some more pictures with the cotton fields oming up.

Love this look! The jacket looks perfect with the dress.

What a fantastic dress! I love it and it’s boho vibe, plus the maxi length is perfect. I love how the belt gives you shape and the cowboy boots are the perfect touch. I can see why you reach for this dress so often, it really is a great dress for spring, summer and fall. I am actually really hoping to catch how it looks with a sweater over top. Have a great weekend! Hopefully not too many sports and you get a little relaxing time too.

I’ll have to remember to make a blog post of it when I wear it with a sweater! This weekend should be fun: we are taking the boys gem panning and only one soccer game Sunday afternoon.
Amy
That dress, and your whole fall outfit is absolutely stunning. Love those cotton fields too. Such beautiful photos!
mimifce
Thank you, Amy! I took some pictures with the cotton later in the week when it was earlier in the day for other blog posts. Glad I did, they have started harvesting the cotton this week.
Cathy
Your yellow denim jacket makes the whole outfit pop! I love it and that cotton field is a great location for pictures.
mimifce
Thanks, Cathy. That jacket was a purchase influenced by Jodie a couple years ago and I have been surprised how much it pairs with.
Maureen
What a beautiful dress! The colors and print are stunning and I love your mustard denim jacket. I am just so obsessed with the color yellow and this shade is perfect!

I really like the yellow color too but have found that not all yellow are equal when you try wearing the color.

Oh that is a beautiful spot for photos and a stunning outfit! You really make me feel my wardrobe is incomplete without a yellow denim jacket every time you share yours, haha! You always pair it so perfectly, and I love how it looks with this dress 🙂
Thank you for joining the Weekday Wear Link up! Hope you’re having a good day. It’s another rainy one here.

I need to remember my wardrobe is complete the way it is: I have more than enough clothes, and I would save a lot of money!
