Denim skirts are back ya’ll and back with a vengeance!  The last time I owned a denim skirt was about 10 years ago.  I found denim skirts had faded in popularity and trendiness, so I donated mine.  Fast forward and denim skirts are cool again.  Personally, I could not be more excited about it. I love wearing skirts!  I wear a skirt to work 2-3 times a week.  On weekends, casual skirts are a great alternative to shorts!  I find my denim skirt to be so much more comfortable than shorts some days too.

I wanted to share my main tip on how to style a denim skirt this summer, so you can pull off this trendy item.  My main tip is actually pretty simple and easy – wear it with the same tops you would pair with jean shorts.  Yep, I treat my denim skirt the exact same way I do my shorts from my tops to my shoes.  Fitted tank tops are my top pairing of choice.  You can tuck it in and and on a wedge sandal or flat for a casual day look.  You can also add on a white denim jacket for a more polished look or a flowy kimono for a boho look.   Your top doesn’t have to be fitted.  A few months ago, I paired this skirt with a flowy crop top for a rodeo look.

I purchased this skirt earlier this year, so I linked one that is the same style and brand just a slightly different color.  So, how do you plan to wear your denim skirts this summer?

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!

Well this post is well timed, since I am about to head out of town and enjoy the nice, long Memorial Weekend in Dallas.  It’s my first time heading out of town this year, so I’m calling it a little mini vacation.  With school wrapping up and summer quickly approaching, I wanted to share a cute summer vacation outfit idea with white jeans.

I love white jeans during the summer!  They can so easily dress your look up or down, and I love how bright colors pop against them.  If you need something for some hotter weather, you could also pair this outfit with white shorts.  Lately, I have been craving all the bright colors.  I’m usually such a neutrals person, but the colors, prints, and patterns are reeling me in this season.  This pink striped top would be the perfect beach vacation companion.  The bright pink makes me think of Florida or Palm Beach.  It would be perfect to pack along for a cruise too.

I think this top and jeans combo could be dressed up with a pair of block heel sandals or dressed down with sandals for a day of touristing.  I love packing outfits that can easily transition from day to evening with a few simple swaps for vacations.  It’s a great way to save on suitcase space.  My sandals are an investment piece, but ya’ll they are so comfy!! I wear them so much during the warmer months.  If you are thinking about a pair, I went up a half size on them.

Anyone have any fun trips coming up this summer??  I hope you all have a fun Memorial Weekend, and be sure to stop by on Monday for a list of the most fashionable sales!

Happy Monday friends!!  How was your weekend?  I went to 2 baby showers, ate yummy cake, sipped champagne, and caught up with my girlfriends. Somewhere in there, I also fit in some relaxing down time too.   Overall, it was a pretty fabulous weekend.

This blue off the shoulder top has been on major repeat this month for so many of my lunches and dinners with friends!  It’s a top you can easily dress up or down with a change of shoe or jean color.  I wore this striped top with my dark wash jeans and block heel sandals for a dinner with friends (seen here on IG) and with wedges for a casual lunch date.  You could also add in white jeans to dress it up a little.  It’s a thin material, but not see through so good for warm or slightly cool weather.

I’m loving this light blue shade paired with my rose gold jewelry.  With off the shoulder tops, I usually go without necklace and opt for a good statement earring instead.  My rose gold earrings were PERFECT with this blue and white stripe for a casual spring outfit. Sometimes I feel like light blue is a good neutral for pairing with bold colors.  A bright pink or yellow statement earring would work with this top too. Silver jewelry would also work really well with this light blue shade to keep the look more neutral and spotlight the blue more.

Thanks for stopping by and hope you all have a fabulous week!
