How to Transition Summer to Fall with the Ageless Style Link Up
How can you transition your outfit from summer to fall without just adding the usual denim or moto jacket? I thought I would show you how to put together a fall outfit using both summer and fall pieces. The fun thing about this outfit is that the key pieces are thrifted: the jeans, the top and the clutch were all thrift finds. Be sure to check all of the Ageless Style ladies outfits too for more inspiration! If you follow me on Instagram, you have seen these jeans a few times since I bought them in April in Arizona. I usually do not try jeans in thrift stores because the…

Another Whimsical Outfit with my Tulle Overlay Dress
When my son and I took these pictures, he mentioned that I looked like the character Lucy Gray from the movie The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. And I have to agree with him: it does make me think of her! I do love how this outfit came together and will be wearing it out and about for a date night! I have worn this tulle overlay several times now and will share some pictures at the end of the post to give you some inspiration. I wanted to wear pants under the tulle instead of a skirt like I had done in the past and I did have to…

Making Your Birthday Special
Some people don’t care to celebrate their birthday and don’t mind if it passes by without acknowledgment (at least I have heard people say that). I, for one enjoy making the day special, not in a grandiose way, but in a way that makes me feel like it is a special day. A year has passed, I am alive and well and I am looking forward to more years to come. So what are some simple ways I celebrate my birthday? Before anything else, I would say, don’t wait on others to make your day special because some years you will be disappointed! So here are some things I do!…

It’s my Birthday! Red Dress for the Win
This is what 49 looks like! I usually do not post a fashion post on a Wednesday, but since my birthday falls on a Wednesday, I thought I would share an outfit in which I felt quite good! This dress was given to me by one of my running friend Patricia (whose running story I shared here) when she did a little closet decluttering this summer. She has a great sense of style, so I was very happy to receive some of the things she was not planning to wear anymore. I actually took these pictures at the beginning of summer after our trip to Europe as I had lost…

Linen Skirt for Fall 3 Ways
I came across this linen skirt at Cato’s Fashion this summer and tried it in store, but the size medium was too large. However, I liked the possibilities of the skirt so much that I decided to order it online in XS and have it shipped to the store to save shipping fee. I had no idea that it would take a month for me to receive it as the company was changing both carriers and warehouses. I am glad though that I did not cancel the order because I think there are unlimited ways to style this skirt. With a peasant blouse I could have worn this skirt with…

Summer Favorites
As summer draws to an end, I wanted to share a few summer favorites, some being experiences while others being little tools that I really enjoyed. I like summer to a certain extent, but it is definitely not my favorite season with the heat, humidity, bugs and the children complaining about boredom. But of course there are some fun things associated with summer too! River and Pool Time If it’s hot, the place place to be is the water! We have a river just a few minutes from the house and we sometimes take advantage of it and take a float down to the next boat/river access. I don’t go…

Runner’s Spotlight: Carrie
Carrie is another of my blogger friends who lives in the St. Louis area. I have been following her blog (Curly Crafty Mom) for a number of years and we both just sent our oldest to college. She has shared some posts about her running so I knew I wanted her to share her running story with us too! 1. How and when did you start running? I started running in 2008 after the birth of my daughter. A few other moms I knew that were looking to lose the baby weight were doing a 500 miles goal in one year and I decided to join them. I started out…

Vest and Flowy pants: Boho with a Classic Twist
With our weather here in Georgia, summer lasts till the middle of October so many pieces of your wardrobe can be worn several seasons of the year. This outfit is an example of that: I could add a short sleeve Halftee under to add more coverage or a long sleeve shirt if I were cold (code MIREILLE20 for 20% off). I did add more pieces to my closet this summer than I planned to, but I do love all of them and have worn each more than once. I do love a little boho in my outfits and these fun pants from Cato’s (yes, Cato’s again) caught my eye on…

Week of Outfits: Last Week of August
I really enjoy Jodie’s (Jtouchofstyle) weekly outfit share on Saturdays because it is real life and often gives me some inspiration for outfits of my own. This week’s outfits are very varied once again and several were inspired by some of the IG ladies I follow. They inspired to put together outfits from my closet that I hadn’t thought of paired together before. But first came my weekend outfits which usually is two a day since we go to church both Saturday night and Sunday morning. Saturday My 6 year old learned how to ride his bike last week, so today was a little try out for a longer ride…
