Days 13 and 14.

Day 13

I am holding up my maxi skirt so you can see my shoes! I got my maxi from a maxi dress party actually for like $30. If you have never been to one, you should. They are quite fun and the selection is fantastic! They have all sorts of sizes and fabrics and patterns. AND they have little girl skirts. I picked this particular skirt because I feel like a mermaid in it. Also, the shoes just complete the look. A pop of unexpected color is fantastic in every season! They really brighten up the dark top. 

Day 14

I often get told that I look like I should be working in an office as a secretary. To be honest, I would be totally thrilled to be a secretary. I quite like routine tasks and I am expert in paperwork! I do at least 20 lbs of it a day at work. Literally. Classic outfit today. Blazer: check. Form fitting pencil skirt: check. Feminine bow top: check. Heels: check. I love these heels. So simple, so comfortable and they make my legs look fabulous. LADIES: invest in some plain black heels. I prefer stilettos (of course) but you can get a shorter pair. Oh and get a black blazer while you are at it. :) 

Love,
Mika.

On the 12th Day of Blogging.

I made Guster take a picture with me because I didn't want to be alone due to my boring outfit. White heels (which are awesome for summer time) and a stretchy teal v neck. The only thing I don't like is that this shirt is AWFUL for riding up.

Day 11.

I love skirts with volume. I also love shoes with straps. And stretchy v necks. So I love this outfit I guess! AND this skirt has pockets. Best part of this outfit! And on a side note, polka dots. Everyone loves polka dots.

And on a side, side note, it is taking me a whole hour to type this article. I am watching Friends With Kids and I keep getting distracted. And if you were wondering, it is pretty excellent. Adam Scott is definitely one of my favorite actors. Not sure why. He isn't anything extra excellent on the eyes but there is  something kind of charming about his nerdy vibe.

I'm going to call this a day! I can't focus. If you have any cute outfits you want to share, email me at mikafredrick@yahoo.com !

Love, Mika.

The 10th day.

Over a week and still going strong on the challenge! Go Mika. Today, I had to work with a couple kids who are very spirited and sometimes very hard to handle. Plus, I had to clean my entire house today. I wore wedges for the extra stability, capris cause it was way hot, and a stretchy v neck for flexibility! Usually I would have ended up wearing a brown stretchy v but I went with a pinky purple color today to give my outfit a little something. I am NOT a colorful person. Half of my wardrobe is black. Bonus points: My toe nails match my shirt and it was unintentional! 

I really should have taken a pic of my hair and makeup because they were pretty awesome today. I had winged dark brown shadow with a sparkly taupe highlight and lashes that cooperated! :)  My hair was a pompadour pony tail thing with lots of volume. It worked excellent because I had dirty three day old hair with lots of old hair spray.

I will try to get my makeup looks from now on too. I don't think I will do a full face shot until all my teeth are nice and permanent though. Thanks for reading! :)

Love, Mika.

Day 8 and 9.

I have a thing for skirts lately. I'm not sure if I just love them or if when I think of the word 'creative,' skirts come to mind. Like jeans aren't creative.

 Day 8

Day 8 was a sad day for me. Any one who knows me  or of me knows that I have a great love for shoes. Especially ones that are sparkly or zebra print. And this day was the last day that I will ever wear my silver, sparkly, zebra print heels. I love those shoes. But I am like a half a size too small for me and I can hardly get my feet inside them. I am selling them now. I feel like I am selling off my own children! But back to my outfit. Skirt, half cardi, tank and heels. Yay. I really love this skirt for the detail. It just has an awesome texture to the ruffle at the bottom. Plus, the bow on the side is really adorable. I love the half cardi because of the awesome color and the comfort factor. I did not take temperature into consideration while choosing this outfit though. The cardigan was waaay too hot for the warm summer weather that is now upon us. So that thing was off before we even drove out of the parking lot of church. Teal and silver look so good together! And they are my high school colors so I am a tiny bit bias on loving it but it really is a great combo. Ah and note my necklace. My parents gave me this necklace when I got married. I hardly ever accessorize. If I do, it is one necklace that gets taken off three hours into my day. 

 

 Day 9

Another skirt! I made this skirt look like a dress though today. Why? Because I have a shirt that is the same exact shade of purple that is in the skirt. And because I can. Necklace curtsey of my Grandma. She always gets me necklaces and I get complimented on them every time I wear them. I got asked twice today where I got my necklace. (Good job Grandma!) This skirt was originally a tube top dress. I cut off the top and made it a skirt because I am way too tall to wear most dresses and especially too busty to wear tube tops. These girls need support and adult supervision at all times. Notice that I wore flats today too! I don't have many pairs so you will see a lot of these babies this summer. People always ask me, "Why do you wear heels every day??" I reply with, "Because each shoe is like a baby to me and I must love them all equally." Quite frankly, I get a TON of comments when I don't wear shoes. I get everything like, "....... Why are you not as tall today?" to "I didn't even recognize you without your shoes," and "Are you sick?!" People really do notice/are super disappointed every time I don't wear heels. 

-In the summer I wear flats a lot more often just my hem lines rise. My rule is, the shorter the skirt, the shorter the heel. Don't wear sky high heels and mini skirts unless you are at a bachelorette party in Vegas or a high fashion magazine.(P.S. this skirt is shorter on me. The angle of this pic makes it look knee length but it is mid thigh for me.)

This outfit is great because it can work on every body type out there! Short? The skirt is shorter and makes your legs look longer. Bigger on top? Balances out the girls with the poofy skirt. Heavier on bottom? Same poofy skirt hides any insecurities but highlighting them! (Crazy, I know, but it works.) Boy/apple shaped? It is cinched at the waist therefore creating an hourglass figure. Hourglass shaped? WORK IT. This is just the thing to make your curves amazing!

A big thanks to Kyle who takes a majority of my pictures for me. :) 

Love, Mika. 

BTW: I am so tired so if you find any grammar or spelling errors, please let me know so I can fix them. :) Thanks guys! You are wonderful.

Day 5 and 6 and 7.

Thank you Morgan for reminding me of my blogging duty. I have my outfits from the past three
days below! :)

 

Day 5 as shown by my cute assistant Guster.

Statement top and killer heels with a pair of awesome skinnies. Can't go wrong with blue suede shoes (thank you Elvis!) I didn't take a picture with the pants because it looked weird. But I did wear it with black skinny jeans. Oh and just a BTW, if you are going to wear skinny jeans, wear the appropriate underwear! No one likes a VLP. Any how, I got this tank top at Rue 21 and the shoes at Forever 21.  

Day 6(ish)

 I did not have to work this particular day so I decided to wear this shorter gray dress. I love the bead work on the top and the fun sleeves. It is made out of thicker material so it smooths everything out quite nicely. I wore a black pair of gladiator sandals with it. Remember: The higher the hem, the shorter the heel. This dress was quite short so no heels today for Mika. :(

Day 7

I worked the afternoon shift today so I wore something cool because when it is the summer, we spend a great deal of time outside at my job. So stretchy maroon t shirt and flowy skirt it is! With my favorite pair of gladiator sandals. I love them because they are easy to get on and remind me of Princess Leia (when she is being held captive by Jabba the Hut.) Bonus points: I made my skirt from an old skirt that I got for free. The entire look cost me $15. And just on a side note, make sure to wear Spandex under your flowy skirts especially when you are handling children or it is windy. I've learned that one the hard way... a few times. 

I did not post my outfit today for a few reasons. First off, it was super boring. Secondly, I woke up like 3 hours than I normally do. Everyone was lucky that I even had my teeth brushed. I had a grey tank, skinny jeans, black wedges  and a black cover up thingy with a belt. You will be seeing the outfit later but it will be more put together and less emo.

Love, Mika.

Day 4.

Excuse my massive cold sore. It is healing. Anyone know of any remedies?? I noticed I am drawn to skirts lately. This outfit is a usual for me. But I just love it so darn much! I paired this blue pencil skirt with a stretchy green v-neck. It gives a very excellent hour glass hours. Invest in a form fitting pencil skirt with lots of stretch. 

 Shoes. Inspired by Slytherin House.

Shoes. Every girl needs a good pair of glitter shoes too! I redid with some Modge Podge and Glitter. I did an ombre with green and silver (because I love Harry Potter!) Yeah!

Love, Mika.
