Festive but Non Traditional Outfits for December
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…

Winter Black and White Outfit
I usually wear either an all white or an all black monochromatic look, but I do not typically pair the two colors together. When I thrifted this fun vest for a couple of dollars, I was both attracted by the polka dot pattern and the weight of it. It is also not too puffy. I have found vests to be practical especially if I am walking outside because I do not overheat in them. Today’s look is an ode to snow: my decorative sleigh is my call to snow this year. Georgia has not had a real snow in 6 years and we are ready! The black hoodie henley is…

7 Day Skirt Challenge with Is This Mutton
I love participating in Gail’s (Is This Mutton) fall skirt challenge because it gets me out of my denim fall-back in autumn. I love the idea of wearing all my clothes more, so this challenge is a great opportunity to try some new combos using what I have in my closet. Everything is old apart from the tulle skirt which I purchased early November. What can I say? I absolutely love this skirt: I featured it in this blog post for an early fall look while at the beach and I plan to wear it for Christmas in an edgy look. I want another tulle skirt now! I’ve had this…

Waterfall Tulle Skirt: How Fun!
Do you remember my recent post where I featured a mustard skirt from Cato’s fashion? When I told my mom in law, I had come across a fun tulle skirt there, full price but affordable, she convinced me to return and try it on and buy it if it I liked how it looked. As you can tell by today’s blog post, it was a winner. I love the skirt and while I bought it thinking about the coming up holidays especially Christmas, I knew that the bright red would make it perfect year round. As soon as I brought it home, I went on Pinterest for some inspiration on…

Burgundy and Camo: Fall Combo
Which colors come to mind when you think of fall colors? Rich hues come to my mind as well as darker colors such as olive or brown. There are some color combinations that I really enjoy and when I planned my outfits for our trip to the beach, I chose olive, burgundy and tan as my main colors. I thought they would be perfect for the season and a little different from what I packed last year. I shopped my closet for this look and I sure love it! These camo pants have been a favorite for fall for the past couple of years: the fit is on point and…

Christmas Look: All the Textures for the Sunday Showcase
I am excited to wear some fun holiday looks this month: I think I might do a week of Hallmark movie inspired looks on IG. It’s just fun to pull out all the velvet, the tulle and pretty colors. I have my eye on a couple pieces with sequins at TJmaxx if they still have them when I stop by the store. Today’s look started with this fun sweater I bought at Cato’s fashion last year on the clearance rack. The fun texture, the silver color, the bow caught my eye and while I didn’t wear it last year, I plan to wear it Christmas eve this year and maybe…

Beach Outfits: Thanksgiving Break 2023
I will say I am guilty of packing cute outfits to the beach knowing that I will take a daily picture for a blog post. These are outfits I wore on our trip this past week, but some of them were only worn for half a day depending on our activity. When at the beach itself, I usually wear a bathing suit with my denim shorts over them or my cover up. Then when I return to the condo and we go on a little outing, I will change into an outfit that reflects what I like to wear on the daily. This was my traveling outfit: I only added…

Fall Shopping: Mustard Dress
After almost 2 months of refraining from buying clothes, I spent a week at the beginning of the month visiting 2 stores. I made a couple trips to TJmaxx (and only bought a sweatshirt) and several stops into Cato’s Fashion. I used to shop there often, but haven’t really much in the past few years, but it is always on my radar if I want to look for an article of clothing in a particular color. I was actually looking for things in burgundy or tan, but Cato’s often has some great things on clearance. I ended up going into the store 3 times in a 2 week span. The…

Shop my Closet, Fall 2023 Edition
Every once in a while, I stumble upon an outfit shopped in my closet that I absolutely love! Today, I am sharing 5 such outfits I wore this past month. After 7 and 1/2 week of a shopping fast, I have purchased a few things in the past few weeks: I had some spending cash burning a hole in my pocket and found some fun pieces to add. However, these outfits I am sharing today are combining things that I have had for at least a few months to more than 6 years. Outfit details: thrifted sweater Target white jeans hand me down booties gifted snakeskin purse heirloom clock pendant…

Layer it Up with the Ageless Style Link Up
It was my turn to choose a theme for our monthly style link up and I chose a versatile theme that would work to matter where you lived in the US as layers can be as heavy as a park or as light as a cotton button down shirt. For myself, I chose a piece I haven’t shared on the blog yet, a long sleeveless vest I found on clearance this summer at TJMaxx. I was drawn to this vest for two reasons: the neutral tan color and the uniqueness of the vest. I did not have anything similar in my closet, it could provide warmth on a cold…
