I took these shots for my Mimosa Lane feature but figured I’d surface them here too. Recycling is a good thing, you see. Especially when you’re recycling something you love, like this outfit.
If I could wear it everyday I would. It incorporates all of my style staples – a scarf, vintage jewelry (those earrings were my grandma’s), pops of color, chic touches (I love these nude heels), and braids (Come on, get Little House On The Prairie off your mind. When done right, braids rock.) Best, it’s comfortable while remaining stylish, which is an oh-so underrated combination if you ask me.
This is something that I didn’t think much about before, but in the past few years, it’s become more important to me. Not because I think that looks are everything – they are not – but because I want the way that I dress to reflect who I am.
So, back to personal style. We all have one, and while I’m still discovering mine and believe it’s ever-evolving, I think I’ve come far in that journey. Right now I’d define it as “Classy city girl meets boho chic” – a modern, all american vibe that’s infused with a touch of bohemian free spirit. It’s a mouthful and complete mixture of opposing things. But what can I say? I am too.
How would you describe your personal style? What are your style staples that you love to bring into any outfit?

I seriously love everything about this outfit!
Love the stripes! I have way too many striped items, my mom always yells at me!
I love your styling of this pretty minted jeans and chic striped shirt, looks so pretty!
I’m such a fan of mint jeans this day – it’s baffling that I don’t have a pair. Super cute outfit.
You’re the cutest–I love the background for all of your photos, so city-chic!
Love the mint jeans and the braid!
Personal style is very important, not always easy to develop. And I always admire somebody who can define theirs. You look lovely.

mint + stripes? Um, this is my favorite look. EVER!
I love the mint jeans with the stripes. My look changes…sometimes I love the preppy look, sometimes I am beyond casual and then other times, I am all about black, leather and leopard. But I always try to put my own spin on something to make it unique! 🙂

Love your thoughts on personal style! You’re so right! It’s not all about keeping up with trends even though it may be fun. They don’t necessarily always express you or make you stylish. You’re just trendy. But when you make trends work for you and your expression, then you have personal style! Loving this combo of yours! Especially with the added braid!
you are just all kinds of adorbs!

Such a chic, casual look – I love the mint paired with stripes! It’s hard for me to define my personal style in a few words but I’d probably say something like feminine, print heavy and classic with an edge. xx

Totally loving this look! xo, Julie
from prosecco to plaid
my style is constantly evolving. It’s funny because I still have some clothes from high school that I wear and love… and yet I just donated a whole bunch of my closet that I had only purchased a year or two ago. Clothing is funny like that. Love this look!
