Shop My Poshmark Closet: Review Pieces, Workwear & More

August 25, 2026 by Miko No Comments

If you’ve ever watched one of my fashion reviews and thought, “Sis, I need that outfit,” you may finally get your chance! My Poshmark closet is officially open. 🎉

As a fashion content creator, I’m constantly trying on clothing for collaborations, seasonal roundups and product reviews. Many pieces are worn only once to film content and then remain in my closet—even though they’re still in like-new condition.

Well, it’s time to make some room and give these looks a new home!

And ALL My Workwear Must Go!

How to Style an Olive-Green Skirt

August 17, 2026 by Miko No Comments

Playing With Proportion, Camo and Color

Some pieces don’t need a complicated formula—they just need the right balance. This olive-green skirt already brings the drama with its volume and draped details, so I built the rest of the outfit around that movement.

The result is a tonal army-green look with a fitted olive tube top, cropped camo jacket, camo Falcons cap and a pair of open-toe lace-up booties that bring in an unexpected pop of color.

But this is only one way to style it. Let’s break down why the outfit works and how you can use the same ideas with pieces already in your closet.

I Lost My Job at 57… and It Changed Everything

August 8, 2026 by Miko No Comments

At 57 years old, I lost my corporate job.

I definitely didn’t see it coming. After years of building a successful corporate career, suddenly that chapter of my life was over.

But here’s the crazy part: losing my job didn’t feel like the end.

In many ways, it felt like the push I needed to finally step fully into something I’d already been building for years—Miko Slays Fashion and my life as a full-time content creator.

In the video below, I’m sharing the real story behind my layoff, what happened afterward, and some of the very practical questions people have asked me, including how I’m paying my bills, what I did about healthcare, and whether my husband supports my decision.

And yes, we’re even going back to my 20s, when I filed bankruptcy twice. 😩 Because believe it or not, some of the hardest financial lessons I learned back then helped prepare me for what happened at 57.

How to Look Expensive on a Budget | Affordable Fashion Tips

August 2, 2026 by Miko 4 Comments

Style isn’t about how much money you spend—it’s about how you put it all together. One of the biggest misconceptions in fashion is that you need an unlimited budget to look polished and put together. Trust me…you don’t.

If you’ve followed me for a while, you already know I love mixing affordable finds with a few investment pieces. That’s been my style philosophy for years, long before I became a full-time content creator.
