Monochromatic Beige for Fall
One of the things that I like about the change of seasons and the change in temperatures is how your closet because once again a playground full of “new” things! If you have somewhat defined seasons where you live, you might be putting away some of your clothes for part of the year, so when you switch out your clothes, they feel new once again. Both of these pieces here actually stay out year round (the sweater for cooler nights), but I haven’t worn them together yet. Since I live in Georgia, I can wear sandals at least through most of October even if I don’t often choose to. You…

Tulle Skirt 3 Ways for Fall
I was pondering what my goals in blogging were apart from the selfish reasons of having a hobby and having fun with fashion, and one of my goals is to inspire everyone to be more creative with what they have in their closet. That is one reason why I enjoy writing these posts where I share one piece in my closet several ways. In this case it’s a tulle skirt, but you could really apply these ideas to any solid skirt in your closet very easily. If you are looking for more tulle skirt inspiration these are a few posts where I styled this skirt: with stripes with a white…

Date Night White
Last month, my husband and I celebrated our 22nd anniversary. It had been a while since we had gone out, so I wanted to dress up. I came across a cute outfit to replicate on IG and took note of it. I share the inspiration picture at little later in the post. I always regret not planning date nights more often as the boys are old enough now to take care of themselves for a couple of hours, but sometimes budgeting gets in the way or scheduling does: from week to week, my husband schedule changes so I cannot plan to much in advance usually. In this case, we decided…

Outfit Inspiration for Fall with White Boots
When I received my white boots (thrifted in Arizona, see blog post here), the first thing I did was browse Pinterest to find some ideas on how to style them. When I pin ideas, I make sure that I am pinning outfits that I can recreate with what is already in my closet and not something that I would have to go out and buy. I pinned several ideas and this was one of my favorites. White boots, brown pattern skirt, white top and oversized denim jacket: you can definitely see the inspiration of the outfit in mine even though the pieces are not identical, but similar. I do not…

Magic Dress: One Dress: Endless Styling Possibilities
A couple months ago, Jodie shared a fun dress on Facebook and IG that had many styling possibilities. I don’t often buy exact things that I see others wear, but it does occasionally happen. Knowing that the dress was from a boutique we had shopped at when I visited her, I like the idea of shopping small. To see more styling ideas, make sure to visit Jodie’s blog post here! She shares 7 ways to wear it while I only share 3. The Dress The dress comes from the boutique Just be Youtiful and Kym, the owner, keeps a fun rotation in her shop and will ship to you. Jodie…

Lace Halftee and Edgy Oversized Vest: Monochromatic Look
The exercise of creating new outfit for blog posts is great especially with pieces that may depart from your typical look or style. I bought this oversized vest back in April in Arizona and I have only worn it once or twice. I had the idea of creating a monochromatic look so the details of the vest would stand out. I wanted fitted pieces so the vest would be the star of the show and my lace Halftee is a great juxtaposition to the edginess of the vest. I plan to get a black lace Halftee soon, at the time of the writing of this post (mid July), my size…

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…

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…

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…
