    Casual Holiday Looks with the Ageless Style – In Memory of Mimi

    It’s time for the Ageless Style Link Up and today is all about Casual Christmas Looks. I have been sharing a lot of Christmas outfit inspiration these past couple of weeks, so I had to be creative today to come up with something different! My mother-in-law passed away last month just 2 weeks shy of her 81st birthday and I wanted to dedicate this blog post to her. Mimi lived with us the past 6 years after she took care of her aging mom for about 8 years. She was an enthusiastic Alabama football fan (all of her clothes were Alabama collegiate fan wear), a gardener (she is the one…

    3 Christmas Outfits with Burgundy

    I like to wear something different but festive every year, so this year, I decided to shop my closet for some Christmas inspiration using burgundy. I came up with 3 very different outfits. More than likely I will wear the one with the tulle skirt to church either Christmas Eve or Christmas day. If you would like more burgundy inspiration especially if you wonder what colors you can pair it with, stop by Jodie’s blog post. She shared some great ideas last month! Burgundy Tunic This floral burgundy tunic is one of the older pieces in my closet. I don’t wear it very often, but I like the length and…

    More Holiday Outfit Inspiration

    I am having so much fun shopping my closet and coming up with outfits that are festive that I decided to share a few more daily outfits today. These were worn in the past 2 weeks. I thrifted this fun dress a couple of years ago and I had forgotten about it until I switched out the rest of my dresses for winter. It’s fun and comfortable and because the belt didn’t come with it, I use mine with it. I love the contrast with this white one from Amazon and my thrifted boots. As an aside, nothing keeps you humble as your child asking you why you have so…

    7 Days of Christmas Looks

    Between this post and a couple more styling pieces from my closet, I hope you will be inspired look at your closet in a new way and be inspired to put together some festive looks using what you already own. Think colors (white, burgundy, red, forest green), textures (velvet, faux leather, lace) and don’t forget to look at your accessories too! In one of these outfits, I used a pair of “summer” earrings to add texture! Christmas Date I have several church appropriate skirts that I can wear for Christmas and I have shared those outfits in the past (here and here) so today, I want to share 2 new…

    Winter Outfits with Red Tulle Skirt

    Today, I am sharing more outfits ideas with my red tulle skirt. My most recent post with red tulle fall outfits here links my other posts with it too. If you have a red skirt of any kind, you may want to visit that post for more inspiration. It is so fun to see how versatile a statement piece like this can be! With a Pink Sweater It is always fun to hear my family’s comments when they see an outfit that I put together that is a little out of the ordinary. When I came downstairs with this pink sweater and pink combat boots paired with my tulle skirt,…

    Gifted and Thrifted: Outfit under $5

    There are some fun aspects of blogging that I have enjoyed in small doses one of which is working with different brands and receiving free products and some income from sales generated through your coupon code. I haven’t worked with many (Clara Sunwoo, I love their products and my favorite has been my liquid leather skinny pocket pants , code MIREILLE10; Halftee, my favorite two are the lace halftee in this outfit and the cap sleeve white halftee, code MIREILLE20, and a couple other ones). Another perk is entering giveaways on blogs and IG and occasionally winning something. Lastly is sharing my love of fashion, thrifting and having fun getting…

    Suede Skirt and Black Leather Jacket

    Every so often, I have the desire to wear a little short skirt for a fun date night look! I bought this skirt September 2021 and only have worn it a handful a times, but it’s such a fun skirt to have! It actually fits better now than it did then. Once again, I turned to Pinterest to get some ideas because I did not want to copy a look I already shared on the blog. I shared it one way here in 2021 and that was actually how I thought of it again, but that look was already done! I’ve also worn it with light tan boots and a…

    Winter White with Brights

    I haven’t really worn my white jeans much this winter, but I have always loved a winter white monochromatic look or a white with a bright look. It makes me think of snow, of crisp clear air and it also is a little ode to spring coming. Today’s outfit features a newer sweater but the rest of my outfit was shopped from my closet. I still cannot believe I didn’t wear these boots for years. Now I pair them with everything. I took a couple close up pictures of my accessories as I really like all of these pieces. The earrings were a birthday gift from my brother a couple…

    Maxi Skirts in Cold Weather with the Ageless Style Link Up

    It is always interesting to see what theme is going to be suggested for our Ageless Style monthly post. I wouldn’t have thought of maxi skirts for winter, but it is a theme that gets us creative and I thoroughly enjoyed wearing this outfit on a bright cold Sunday morning. When wearing a skirt in the winter, you need to think about what to make sure you are warm and I was not cold at all. I picked up this maxi skirt at Belk in the clearance section: I love the print and color and it even has pockets! It is very flowy and not too light for a winter…

    Inspired by The Stylo Rouge: Oversized Blazer with Denim Skirt

    All I can say is great minds think alike! Both Jodie and I thought it would be great to replicate Ashley’s outfit in a blog post so we decided to do so together! So you get 3 looks in one post today. Both Jodie and I borrowed something from our husband’s closet and I borrowed one thing from my son! Here is the link to Ashley’s blog post I love the texture in Ashley’s boots and wool blazer, as well as the hem on her denim skirt. Since I do not have an oversized blazer, I borrowed my 13 year old’s blazer (it is still too big for him so…
