OOTD: Denim + Lace On Date Night

Happy Saturday! I am off to the fair today with the hubby and our youngest who ended up staying with us this weekend but one kid is easier then 6 kids so its cool! Besides he is my baby ;-)

Last night was date night so the hubby and I met up with some friends for a yummy Cajun dinner and can you believe I forgot to take pics of the food!! ugh you are just gonna have to trust that it was yummy. Then we headed off to go see a movie which we never got to see because in Los Angeles if you don't prepay for reserved seating you are SOL, and none of thought to buy them, lol so we just hung out and laughed enjoying each others company. 

This is what I wore....

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

Keeping It Neutral + Seamster In The Making

Hi Darlings! It is Monday and I am so not in the mood to be cute today, LOL I really just wanted to leave the house this morning in sweat pants and a t-shirt (sacrilege, I know!) but that is how I was feeling so this neutral palette is the best I could manage today ^_^ besides I was most excited about sharing the two pieces my baby girl Lexi (who blogged about it here) made.

I was so excited to see her enjoying it and having never sewn before she did great, followed direction and knocked out this McCall 6566 tshirt in a half day and then on Sunday I found her following my pencil skirt tutorial on youtube, LOL and she did it! she made the pencil skirt ;-) please visit her blog and give her a thumbs up.

So before we get to my boring outfit, here is Lexi's first outfit! and remember that 4 tutorial special in her honor ends tonight at midnight.

Top and Skirt made by Lexi G. woohooo!!!!
