Happy Birthday to me with a Early Fall Look
I’ve really enjoyed my birthdays this past decade. I have let go of expectations, embraced my age and figured out how to make the day special. Last year, I went up to Chattanooga to visit my friend Rachel to thrift and baked myself a cake. Today, I may thrift on my own, have a free birthday lunch and relax. I am sharing a thrifted dress I picked up last month at Uptown Cheapskate when I received a 20% off coupon and how I wore it. This look can work all summer long through fall until bare legs are not comfortable.
I am not usually one for smocking but the smocking on this Jessica Simpson dress ends at the waist and is very flattering. I was drawn to the fall colors and the print right away. The square neckline is one of my favorite necklines too and at $7, the price couldn’t be beat (I had $4 in credit at the store).
When I helped my neighbor reorganize her closet before the start of the school, I ended up with this cream Cabi corduroy jacket. I love my fall jackets and it fit me perfectly so I was excited.
I cannot be without a pair of sneakers and if you want an inexpensive pair that is both comfortable and this pair is perfect and still available (mine are 2 years old). They are perfection for transition months and transitioning outfits.
I have enjoyed wearing my gifted silver hoops from ShopLC. This was my first year received gifted items from several companies and it has been a fun experience. I worked with ShopLC for about 6 months, I am currently an Ambassador for Brindle Boutique and and have collaborated a few times with Clara Sunwoo. Each has been a great and fun experience.
A bientôt!

Thank you! I always end up with a few things from her. Some I keep then donate once I think about it but usually at least 2 things end up being perfect for me.

Happy belated birthday, Mireille. What a great find your dress is and looks great with the little jacket and sneakers. It’s definitely turning cooler in the NE, England so the woollens will be making an appearance soon. Enjoy your weekend.
