Christmas 2022 Outfits

& Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Belated Post. I enjoyed Monday 12/26 with family but didn’t want to miss a post. I never missed a post in 2014 (I started with 3 posts/week, then down to 2, and eventually 1 but I’ve never missed!) I hope you had a wonderful Christmas if you celebrate! And a joyous last week of 2022.

Chritsmas Outfits 2022

For Christmas Eve we went to mass with our dear friends and then to dinner at a Mexican restaurant. I t was certainly different than our plans but a snowstorm changed things and we ended up having a wonderful time!

Swiss Dot Top (I DIYed this by adding a velvet bow)

Vegan Leather Pants

Hanna Anderson Family PJs (the absolute best of the best. Stephan and I have had the same pair for YEARS and size the kids up, and I love it because they always have this print so it’s easy peasy + oh so cozy!)

The Best Drugstore Concealer of 2022 | NYX Professional Makeup Bare with Me Serum Concealer

& Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

The NYX Professional Makeup Bare with Me Serum Concealer is the best concealer of 2022. I have been wearing only concealer with no foundation for years now, and I typically use a foundation for my undereye and a different concealer for any spots or discoloration I want to cover or correct. I found this concealer from my dear friend Sunny’s recommendation and she is an aesthetician who has helped me completely revamp my skincare. This foundation is THE REAL DEAL! It looks like skin and has a serum in it, which I usually roll my eyes at “skincare makeup” but this one is different.

About NYX Professional Makeup Bare with Me Serum Concealer

(From the website) MEDIUM COVERAGE CONCEALER – The first NYX skincare serum that can be used as an undereye concealer, as well as, face and body. Provides up to 24-hour hydration with a non-cakey, smooth, natural finish and a lightweight feel for skin that looks like skin in an instantly.

APPLICATION: Get undetectable, mess-free medium coverage cream concealer in one pump for dark circles, acne, blemishes, redness, irritation and dry patches with this vegan formula featuring tremella mushroom, cica, and green tea. Available in 13 vegan shades.

Abercrombie Sweater Dress | Dressed Up and Down

& Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

First things first, I LAUNCHED A MI APPAREL BRAND WITH MY HUSBAND!! MI TRADING POST. Please give us a follow on INSTAGRAM and a “like” on FACEBOOK.

I’ve always loved the look of sweater dresses but didn’t feel like I would get much wear out of them because I lived in a very cold and snowy climate, and while I didn’t move *that* far we have had an unseasonably warm fall this year all-over Michigan and I love the sweater dress I bought so much that I need to share it with you.

Long-Sleeve Mockneck Mini Sweater Dress

I love this sweater dress because it can easily be dressed up or dressed down. I wore it belted with knee-high heeled boots to see Swan Lake and dressed down with loafers for an everyday look. I am so glad that the warmer fall prompted me to order this because now I am sure I’ll figure out ways to continue wearing it with tights as the weather cools down.

I purchased this in a size small and it has a relaxed fit. I did purchase a small tall one because at 5’7 I am right on the cusp of needing a tall, and for mini dresses, I prefer the bit of extra length.

Vegan Leather Leggings | $15 Walmart Find

& Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I found an incredible pair of vegan leather leggings from Walmart. These might be a Spanx Leather Leggings dupe and they come in both a brown leather legging and a black leather legging from the brand Time and Tru. Leather is very in for fall 2022. I’ve been a big fan of Time and Tru for years and can’t wait to share these with you today.

Time and Tru Women’s Faux Leather Leggings

I have never tried the Spanx Leather Leggings, and I am sure they don’t have the same compression but on looks alone, I think these are a great affordable dupe. These leggings are lined with a soft material so they don’t feel funny on the legs and they pull on easily, and I don’t think that they will make you sweat like some began leather options I have seen. I found these in store but they’re also available online. I am wearing my true size small.

Have you tried a vegan leather legging? Are you jumping on the leather trend for fall 2022?

Shop My Outfits Daily + Cute Comfy LEGGING Look

& Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I am not a huge legging girl. Don’t click out. I do love them, but I usually wear jeans or trousers, HOWEVER, this fall I snagged a couple of really precious legging-friendly pieces that look a bit more elevated and stylish than the typically zip-up with legging combo [though that is iconic, isn’t it?] I share my outfits every day on my Instagram.

Nike Air Force 1 07s – These are iconic, and classic, and go with so many things! I wear them with leggings, jeans, dresses, and trousers!

Asymmetrical Snap-Up Fleece – This is SO comfy and the vegan leather makes it seem much nicer than if it was just a plain fleece. Because of the vegan leather, I plan to baby this when I launder it and do so by hand and when possible just Fabreze it 😉 I try to do this with sweaters to extend the life of the garment (but don’t worry, not if I am sweating or stinky!) I SIZED UP one so that this was legging-friendly, if you’re shorter you may not need to size up but at 5’7 I needed the medium to get it to completely cover my bum.

Point Split Hem Flare Pant – Call them what you want, in my mind are super thick nice elevated flared leggings, or as we called them in college, yoga pants.

Styling Sneakers and a Blazer | 2022 EASY Fall Style

& Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

We suddenly went from 90 degrees to 60 degrees, so fall style is here. Today I want to show you how I’ve been styling sneakers and a blazer for the perfect combination of comfort and style. I often have days, and I’m sure you do as well, where I need to be ready for a meeting or an appointment and I also want to be outside for soccer or playing with my family. So, I need outfits that work for all different things and can be dressed up or down.

Lulus Miss Punctuality Taupe Lightweight Blazer

Toss this blazer over ANYTHING! It’s the best! I’ve worn it over dresses, and tees, styled with trousers and it looks nice with dressy shoes OR sneakers.

574 Sneakers

These sneakers are incredibly comfortable, a classic that has made a great comeback, and they make my feet look smaller I think (compared to my Nikes especially). I spray the suede on mine with this.

What is your go-to sneaker? I would love to know!
