More than likely, my husband will be out of town for Valentine’s day, but we will try our hardest for a date this month. I thought this pretty outfit with my red tulle skirt and the cozy fun topper would tie in both Valentine’s Day and winter with the textures. I added a fun detail with the pink combat boots: it’s all about the juxtaposition of feminine and edgy with today’s look! I probably would have never imagined myself wearing this when I was younger: I didn’t have the confidence of wearing what I thought would look good and probably paid too much attention to what other people thought. I…

Today, I am sharing how I plan for outfits during the week: I am sharing a collage of how I thought the outfits would work and how I was pleased in some instances, but also how I changed certain outfits. I love planning my outfits ahead of time because it encourages me to pull out things I haven’t rotated and it helps me come up with new ideas. This is probably a post similar to others I have written, with real life outfits, but today I do have the before idea photograph as a quick outfit layout. Pink Sweater I have loved this sweater since I bought it last month…

While I buy some simple pieces here and there and I like my classic denim, when I buy tops and sweaters, I like to buy pieces that have a little bit of a detail that elevates the garment. It could be texture, a sleeve detail, embroidery or like in this case, an embelishment. The sweater itself is very simple with a crewneck and a loose fit (I bought it in size L). When I tried it on, I loved the fun sleeves with the cutouts and the pearls. Because the embelishments are not at the neck, the sweater is still very versatile. I can wear a scarf with it or…

Today, I am sharing two winter coats that I like to wear when I want to dress up whatever I am wearing. I am wearing both over a simple outfit of jeans, sweater and boots, but you can see how both really dress up the look. I do have several other winter layers such as two winter down jackets as well as some lighter jackets. I found this Free People sweater while thrifting a couple of years ago and the fun sleeve with the sequins really make it an interesting top. These flared jeans always surprise me with how good they look (I got a compliment from some random guy…

I decided to go ahead and post the Sunday Showcase today since the 1st is tomorrow. Today, I am sharing an outfit I wore to church and to stop by a friend’s Christmas brunch after, but I think this look would be perfect for any special event in the winter. I think it would be pretty for a New Year’s Party with fancier shoes or a date night. I love it when I wear something in real life and decide to share it here on the blog too because I loved it so much. I thrifted this Vince Camuto dress for less than $10 in Chattonooga last winter and it…

When I plan my daily outfits, most of them are outfits that will photograph well and look like I spent a few minutes planning what I was going to wear. The shoes typically match the activity, there is some color coordination and at least one or two accessories. So when I went to get my hair cut and the boys and I went mini golfing, I felt put together. The mini golf setting was so cute, I decided we should take some pictures for the blog as we waited for each other’s turn. I was dressed knowing that we would be outside and knowing that it was going to be…

I wanted to share what I wore this weekend for church to give you some inspiration for your get-togethers this year or next. I shopped my closet for these looks, some items are really old and I don’t even know where I got them while others are more recent buys from this fall. All have been worn in different ways before. I knew I wanted to wear the silver sweater one day, the velvet another and that my red tulle skirt would be part of my Christmas outfit. From there, I created my outfits. Fuzzy Silver Sweater I first tried the sweater with a long black velvet skirt, but it…

I like to dress up a little in December, with sparkle, texture and fun outfits, but I usually don’t want to wear a traditional red or green Christmas-y outfit. Today, I am sharing some of my favorites this month. Some outfits are more casual than others, but I have really enjoyed coming up with my outfits this month. Blue Teal or turquoise rank are at the top of my favorite colors. So I made sure to pull out my two bright sweaters this month.   I wore my lace Halftee (code MIREILLE20) under my thrifted sweater tunic. I love the length of this top since it allows me to wear…
