How to Wear A Mini : Adriana Sutlief

WEARING: ZARA Floral Top | ZARA White Denim Skirt | Jeffrey Campbell Slides

Hi friends, and happy Thursday! October is officially here which means a few different things: the hub’s bday month, fall is now in full swing and it’s the beginning of the holiday season! While it probably already feels like fall in other parts of the country, that’s definitely not the case here in Austin quite yet! Today’s high of 94 is seriously making me envy all of my friends that live in cities where autumn is fully alive and well. I need it to get cooler in Austin ASAP. I mean, I’ve got lots of cute sweaters that I want to start wearing and they can’t stay hidden in my closet forever!

One upside to being in a hotter city during the fall though is the fact that I don’t have to worry about whether I remembered my jacket or not, and I can still enjoy time outdoors without freezing. Plus, being able to still wear mini skirts and one-shoulder tops in October isn’t that bad either.

On Another Note:

This full look on today’s post is almost head to toe ZARA, except for the shoes! (Those are Jeffrey Campbell!) I picked up this top and skirt a few months back before Nathan and I went to Missouri to visit family. I was in serious need of a simple white denim skirt to pair with a few of my favorite tops, and I happened to pop inside the store during one of their biggest sales of the year! So… I did what any normal gal would do and went ahead and added another top to my closet when I spotted this one! It was super discounted, so I just couldn’t say no.

Anyway, today’s post is all about how to wear a mini:

I love a good mini skirt and realized soon after bringing this one home, that I really only have a handful of them in my closet! (That’s going to change very, very soon. 😉) I guess I took the last closet clean-out a little TOO seriously. In other news, today I’m going to talk about a few of my favorite ways to wear a mini, and how to transition them into the fall season with you. I’m listing out my top 4 favorite ways below.

Add a Feminine Top: I love pairing edgier pieces with a softer or more feminine piece. Which is why you’ll typically see me mixing flowy floral blouses and tops like the one above with boyfriend jeans or distressed denim.
Sauce it Up With a Bodysuit: Pairing a bodysuit with your mini is the perfect way to make your look sizzle for a fun night out with the girls or a date night with your boo. Just add heels👠 + a pair of statement earrings and you’re good to go!
Create Structure with a Blazer: If you’re looking to take your mini to the office with you, pair it with a classic, structured blazer and a good pair of flats. Pro Tip: Leave a silky blouse underneath and a great pair of heels in your bag for an easy transition to happy hour! 🥂
Pair it With a Cozy Sweater, Tights, and Boots for Fall: One of my favorite ways to wear my minis is with a cozy, slouchy sweater, some tights, and an awesome pair of knee-high boots. It’s a favorite go-to look for fall. 👌🏻
