Hello friends!  Well it has been a pretty busy week over here.  Mostly playing catch up from being out of town all weekend.  You know the fun things like laundry and grocery shopping.  I’m also trying to get back on the healthy eating track after doing a little indulging in all the delicious holiday food over the weekend.

With summer weekends officially in full swing, I wanted to share this cute dressy casual summer outfit idea featuring a coral puff sleeve top and white jeans.  I talk often about how much I love mixing all the bright colors with my white jeans.  It’s such a good combo for summer.  I decided my floral sandals were the perfect compliment to add in a print to this look.  With solid color crew neck tops, I usually like to go with a long pendant or statement necklace .

This coral top also get double duty at the office. It pairs perfectly with my floral striped midi skirt and works with pencil skirts too.  You could try a fun color mix and do a green or bright blue skirt with a nude colored heel.

Also, I wanted to mention it’s the last few days to sign up for my summer online personal styling session.  A little background on the styling session, in case you missed me mentioning it in a past post.  Each session is a 3 step process designed to help you clear out the closet clutter and create a wardrobe you can feel confident in all season long. 

We start by sending you a closet checklist that includes wardrobe basics and some seasonal and trendy items.  You go through your closet and let me know what you have, want, or don’t care for.  I take that list and do a little shopping for you to help fill in any areas you may need or want.  Then, we send you around 30 outfits you can create based on the closet checklist.  I also help you create outfits with items you already own and love that are not included in our checklist.

My past clients have mentioned feeling less anxiety about getting dressed in the morning and more confident putting outfits together, loving their newly organized closet free from items they were no longer wearing, and feeling more mindful while shopping.  You will not be asked to buy a whole new wardrobe or anything like that, there is no obligation to buy any of the items I recommend to you.  One of our main goals is to help you work with what you already have to create a versatile summer wardrobe, the shopping help is just a little bonus!  AND, it’s all online so you can live anywhere to join a session with me.  These summer sessions are only 3 weeks, and you can sign up or find more information at MillieandMain.com.

Hope ya’ll have a great rest of the week, thanks for stopping by!

Hi friends! Happy Wednesday!

One of my favorite style tops and trends for this transitional time of year is the sheer top trend.  The sheer material makes this light and breathable for slightly warm days, and you can also easily toss a cute blazer or jacket over this top and create a layered look for cooler days.  I added a couple sheer style tops to my wardrobe, so stay tuned for more!

This sheer top has some of the prettiest details!  The polka dot print, tie neck, and ruffles on the sleeves and front all work together to create such a gorgeous romantic top.  Bonus, it comes with a matching cami to wear underneath it.  I’m big on my camis matching the sheer color, so I love when they are included!

It’s the perfect top for date night, brunch, Easter Sunday, or a shower.  I wanted to keep to the neutral vibe of the top and paired it with my white skinny jeans, nude shoes and clutch.  Too add just a little pop, I added in these shimmery earrings.  It’s a subtle statement earrings that compliments the top versus competes with it.

Also, I have to mention that the first big Shopbop Sale of the year started yesterday! Use code GOBIG19 for 15-25% off your order depending on how much you spend.  This is the sale I usually look for pricier items like jeans, shoes, jewelry and bags.  In case your eyes are bigger than your wallet, Shopbop has another big sale around April too.  Check back Friday when I will be sharing my top sale picks before it closes on March 2nd.

Happy New Year!! I’m such a fan of new years, new months, new weeks, even a new day.  A chance to make new goals and keep working towards old goals.  Every year, I love to take time to look back on my personal highlight reel from the past year.  I think about my accomplishments, happy memories, and overcome obstacles.

I start every year creating a list of goals for the year.  This year, I decided to actually write down said goals.  I’m going to keep them on my fridge for a few weeks, and then put them in a folder to look at throughout the year occasionally when I need a little motivation and then at the end of the year.  I also found this cool exercise to write down what you plan to be doing and celebrating next NYE, so I included that at the bottom of my list.

Do you make goals and resolutions at the start of the year?  I’d love to hear some of them!

I’m starting off 2019 with the prettiest winter outfit.  Umm hello long cardigan.  You know I LOVE long cardigans and layering.  I could not resist this gorgeous blush pink cardigan.  It has a drape waterfall design, so you can wear it open or let it close a little.  The inside of the cardigan is white, so it shows a pretty two color effect on the drape portion.

I immediately pictured this outfit with an all white ensemble and rose gold jewelry to play on the pink.  My rose gold jewelry obsession is growing thanks to Kendra Scott’s new winter line!  I wanted it all.  I love how these statement earrings really dress up this basic filled outfit.  I added in my heels to keep this look on the more dressy casual side.  You could also opt for flats.

I’m headed back to the office today after 4 fabulous days off.  I always find that first day back to be the hardest!  I’m joining some gal pals for happy hour after work, so I’m working for that glass of wine today!

Also, I started a new giveaway over on Instagram.  It’s so easy all you have to do is follow me and like all my January posts, and you can win a makeup bag filled with It Cosmetics products!  Be sure to hop on over if you want to enter!

Hello Hello! I love a bold pink halter top for summer!  I own a couple of them and wear them so many different ways.  The bold color makes a great statement against white skinny jeans.  I added in my fun floral mule sandals and double hoop earrings for a dressy casual summer outfit.  Ya’ll I’m obsessed with these heels.  I manage to wear them every week with so many different outfit styles.  Check out my Insta Stories OOTD highlight reel to catch a couple ways I have styled them.

Another idea for this top is with dark skinny jeans and my purple floral pumps.  I wore this outfit a few weeks ago for a girls’ night out.  I posted the look to Instagram, you can check it out HERE.  Halter tops also pair really well with shorts and wedge sandals or even a flat sandal.   You may remember me pairing my distressed shorts with a different halter a few weeks ago, HERE.  Halter tops are such a versatile piece for summer and a staple in my closet.

I hope ya’ll are having a good week!  I feel like I am one of the few people heading into the office this week, but I have fun plans tomorrow with friends including pool time and fireworks.  Have a fun and safe 4th of July!!
