    Caramel Crossbody Bag and Summer White Dress

    While I was looking at spring and summer trends for 2025 and getting some outfit inspiration on Pinterest, I can across some outfits featuring clothing pieces and accessories in caramel tones. A warm, pretty brown with golden undertones, caramel is a rich neutral color that I decided I wanted to add to my closet. I promptly went thrifting and found a few pieces such as a corset top, a tank top and a pair of shorts. I didn’t find a purse that appealed to me so I stopped by TJMaxx and came across this pretty crossbody bag! The color was exactly the rich golden brown I was looking for, the…

    Caramel Shorts with Chambray Button Down

    While pinning some inspiration pictures on Pinterest, I came across this cute little outfits featuring a pair of caramel shorts. To my happy surprise, I found a cute little pair of shorts in my new favorite neutral (caramel) the next day. My youngest and I went to take pictures by the pond for a change of scenery and you definitely can see how the inspiration outfit was the idea behind my outfit. I loosely based my outfit on this and of course, I could have made it a closer replication by wearing my white sneakers and a hat. But now that I have a pedicure, sandals are going to be…

    Red for Summer: Shopping my Closet

    I think I came across red for summer as a styling idea when I was looking for some spring and summer blog inspiration. I’ve always loved red, and have a few pieces in my closet, but I don’t always reach for them. Writing blog posts and sharing outfits really inspires me to shop my closet and rediscover loved items that I haven’t worn in a while. And I tell you, some outfits really put a little bounce in my step such as this first outfit. Boho Pants and Denim Vest I bought these fun pants on Poshmark after borrowing my friend’s navy pair for a blog post (here) and have…

    Bohemian Pants with Denim Vest

    There is a theme to some of my outfits this summer, and it is that they have a boho feel! I first shared these pants with a tan vest last year in this post, and this outfit has some similar vibes. Because the pants are so wide at the ankle, I like to have fitted or structured tops with it. The length also force me to wear high wedges with them, so I do not drag the pants on the ground. Today’s outfit turned out perfect for a mild day which was nice because otherwise the denim vest would have been too much. I found another occasion to wear my…

    Bohemian White Maxi: 3 Outfit Ideas

    I shared this skirt for the first time last month in an outfit I called bohemian dream. I have since worn it several times and have loved it each time. That is a confirmation that this fun maxi skirt was a good buy! Today, I am sharing 3 outfits that were inspired by some outfits I saw on Pinterest. With a Chambray Shirt I saw 2 outfits on Pinterest thatĀ  featured a chambray and I liked both. I decided to first wear the skirt without a belt because I knew I would wear 2 outfits with belts for this blog post. I am so glad I am liking this thrifted…

    Spring and Summer Purses and Totes

    I thought it would be fun to highlight some of the purses that I like to wear in spring and summer. I like to rotate them every couple of weeks as I have a lot of totes and purses that are cute for the warm months. In the winter and fall, I tend to wear a purse for about a month before I alternate it. Here are some recent thrifted finds followed by a couple favorites that I have had a little longer and were not thrifted. Thrifted Fringe Purse What a fun find! The bag is a loose macrame and is very well made. I got it for justĀ …

    Thrifted Corset Top 3 Ways

    Today, I am sharing a corset top 3 Ways. I thrifted it last month when I was searching for cognac/caramel tone pieces to add to my closet. The price was right ($3) for something that I knew I could wear at least a couple of different ways. When I shared my outfit on my Instagram stories, Jodie reached out to me to collaborate on a blog post featuring different ways to wear a corset top and here is the link to her post. I thought it would be fun to see how I could wear it and it was definitely something I had to experiment with. I had 2 outfit…

    Graphic Tees for Spring and Summer

    After styling a graphic tee last month for our Ageless style link up post, I was inspired to pull out my graphic tees and wear them with a variety of pieces in my closet. None of these combinations are new, but I did try to style them in ways I had not before. Here are outfits I wore a couple weeks ago. Inspired by Marsha I was inspired by Marsha’s Ageless Style post last month to put this look together. It is such an easy outfit to recreate as most of us have a white tee and a denim skirt in our closet. My skirt here is actually a thrifted…

    Black and White with the Ageless Style Link Up

    This month’s theme for the Ageless Style Link Up is black and white. I love this classy combination and have worn it several times as you will see at the end of the post. Since I had not worn this black, white and gold tunic in quite a while, I decided it was time for it to reappear on the blog. I think I have had for about 10 years and I think the cut and colors make it a timeless piece. It is nice and stretchy, so it has worked for me when my weight has fluctuated. Pairing it with white keeps it a fresh spring or summer look…

    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…
