Aubrey Killpack and her giant schnauzer Major Roger Healey

Aubrey and I have known each other for a little over two years (I think) and I love her dearly! She really is one of the nicest and cutest girls I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. She sent me her pic today and the caption read, "I was looking at your blog and decided to send you my outfit :) long hemline no heels, I broke the rules :P love you!" Tsk tsk Aubrey. Long hemlines = tall heels! However, that being said, I quite like this look! Very vintage and classic. My favorite part of this outfit is the shoes. I hate flats but these are irresistible! Who doesn't love panda covered stuff?? 

Aubrey's style is very... random. Just like her! Which is AWESOME. She doesn't follow the 'rules' which makes her fearless in what she chooses to wear. She loves reading, Star Wars and spiders. Yes, spiders. I am not a fan of these eight legged creatures but she loves them enough for the both of us. :) Back to the outfit, Aubrey is mixing prints which is fabulous. If you haven't tried it, please do. It is so fun! And to top off her look, she has her hair in a top knot and a long string of pearls.

What can we learn from Aubrey? Be true to yourself! And take risks in what you are wearing and don't care what anyone thinks because in the end, the important thing is to be happy. Love you Aubs :)

 Love, Mika.

Day 16.

Day 16. Excuse my face. This is my "I'm frustrated and so tired after working" face.

I can't believe I have been doing this for over two weeks. AND I HAVE BLOGGED MOST OF THOSE DAYS. What?? Big time fashion bloggers would be proud. To be completely honest, I was not completely sold on today's outfit. I was just a little unsure about proportion. On one hand, it made my profile look like a nice "S" shape. On the other hand, I think I would have liked it more with black tights. Note the black pencil skirt! Get one ladies. It goes with everything. Both my top and my skirt are from the thrift store DI. Shoes were bought for a wedding but then I had to get a different pair that were more white. 

Also, I don't know if it is the light or for real but I look way tan in this. :) That is all. 

Love, Mika.

Day 15 and Some Advice on Jeans.

Day 15

Jeans! The above are my favorite pair of jeans. My outfit consists of an argyle cardi, a stretchy v neck and sweet heels. I always get insane blisters when wearing these shoes but I traded them for cookies and they are so stinkin' cute so I wear them anyway and accessorize them with hidden bandaids. Worth it.

As I was typing this article, I started thinking that I should write about jeans because they are amazing and everyone and their dog wears them. (Look at that cute face!) So without further ado, here is my infinite wisdom on jeans.

Everyone needs at least two pairs of jeans that fit. They make your legs and butt look amazing or they can make you look awful. Here are some tips for getting kick a** jeans: 

1. Get some with some stretch. But not too much stretch! Just enough to suck you in a little and smooth things out while giving you shape.
2. Have some with a darker wash. Dark is classic and slimming.
3. Don't have a lot of embellishment on the butt. It makes it look bigger and you pay like $50 more than you would have for a plain pair. Plus, you look like a high schooler when its all blinged out. Not a good look for anyone (even if you are in high school.)
4. Colored denim is fabulous. So get some that work for you. If you are worried about looking big, then you can get some in purple or some other dark color.
5. Same goes with floral printed jeans! Those are so in right now and I am obsessed with everything with flowers on it. If you want to look smaller, wear a smaller print! Just go for it. Nothing says spring like florals. 
6. Look for a mid rise waist band. Don't do the super-triple-extreme low rise kind. Not flattering in anyway. Do that and you can say hello to massive muffin top and more crack than an old sidewalk. Mid rise is excellent for hiding a stomach and it is very classy (and not to mention comfortable.)
7. High waisted jeans are so cute, especially when you are going for a retro look. But if you are going to do them, have ones that are very fitted. Ill fitting ones are mom jeans. Don't wear mom jeans.

Love, Mika.

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.
