OOTD: Denim and Cord + Making Mens Wear Sexy

Hi Darlings! It is almost Friday and can I just share my excitement with you because it will be the first weekend in MONTHS since the hubby and I will have the house to ourselves!! I. CANT.WAIT.

Today I am rocking what I call my sexy menswear and let me just tell you it is probably my most favorite "look" to wear because it is so comfy! I am rocking these fabulous "Sexy Boyfriend" Cords from the GAP (yes, the Gap again, LOL) I had a bit of a shopping spree there a few weeks ago. The key to the mens wear look is to keep it simple and use the heels and accessories to girly it up. Oh and before I forget...you guys have asked what size I wear in Gap Pants...I wear a size 4.

Color Me Green! How to Wear Bold Colors

Hi Darlings,  Happy Tuesday. Yesterday was such a *meh* day that today I needed a little color pick me up, I am LOVING green, and lucky for me I had just bought this great Gap sweater. Now I am not afraid of color and I wear it all year long and since I am still feeling the whole color-blocking thing I thought I'd share my method to the madness.

Mimi G.'s Step's To Wearing Bold Colors

1. Use no more than 3 Bright colors

2. Use a neutral (black, brown, blue, tan etc.) color to add balance 

3. Don't use the same bright colors in ALL of your accessories. 

4. Keep the "extras" to a minimal or you will start to look like Nicki Minja, lol

Gap Green Khaki's & DIY Top + Updates

Happy Friday! Well what a week I have been having right? geez. So a quick update on the blog, it seems that many of you had me bookmarked by the original "blogspot" address so you have been able to find me pretty quickly and some who only knew me as "mimigstyle.com" are still getting google 404 errors. Google says they are working on it so until then I am still very much visible via www.mimigoodwin.blogspot.com please make sure to let your friends know for me...good thing is once the custom domain is fixed the "blogspot" address will still continue to work too.

Okay, enough about stuff I cant control and on to what I can control, MY LOOK! lol I promise you that GAP is not paying me to shop there and review....BUT maybe they should because I am loving me some GAP right now...GAP, you listening?? *wink* The top I have on is from my Spring 2010 collection, I am going to release it as a pattern soon ;-)

Get The Look

I think Gap have started changing the way they make their pants because lately they are fitting me real nice and my butt and thighs have not disappeared so it must be them, lol

Aldo Sexy Pumps! + Gap Jeans & White Shirt

WooHooo It's Friday! How much do I love dark jeans with a crisp white shirt? <------------------------> this much! Okay so, I was dying to wear my new Aldo pumps "Romelia" which by the way are sexy as hell and I plan to wear them a lot! so I kept it super simple with my favorite Gap Fitted Boyfriend Shirt, can I just tell you that this shirt is flippin fantastic; If I could wear it everyday with jeans I would that's how much I love it. I'm also a new fan of their Original Fit Selvage Jeans  and let me tell you...

I HATE shopping for jeans! mostly because I have a small waist and a big booty and child bearing hips, lol so it is always difficult to find jeans that fit at the waist without being snug at the hips so when I tried these jeans on *with skepticism I might add* at the sales girls request I was so happy to see that they fit and were comfortable, so comfortable. The most surprising part was that Gap jeans usually don't fit me well and I have to try on so many before sometimes just giving up. I don't know that I will have such luck next time I go buy jeans but I hope that these stay around for a while ;-)

Sunnies are Michael Kors a few seasons back
