Remix Round-Up: Shoes, Shoes, Shoes!

Today I was going back through my Flickr photos and came across all my recent detailed shoes shots. So, for fun, I thought I’d throw together a little collage. What you see here above are some of my very favorite pairs. Do you guys have shoes that you find yourself wearing over and over again, or do you rotate between two or three pairs because they just go with everything? What style and brand are they? I would love to know, because you know I am always scouting for new staples to add to the wardrobe!

Remix Round-Up: The Ultimate Striped Dress

Since August, I have worn and photographed this striped dress eight different ways. I found it in the Buffalo Exchange in Ballard, for $11, but it’s originally from H&M. Such a great purchase…thanks Mom!

I’ve tucked it in, worn it with tights, and layered it with vests and blazers. I like all the different versions, but I do have my favorite way of wearing it, which is the outfit in the third photo. Now tell me, what’s yours?

Happy Monday, and stay tuned in a bit to see how I styled up my black peep-toe booties!

Remix Round-Up: Blue Wool Skirt

After posting my outfit this morning, it dawned on me that I have worn this navy blue wool skirt quite a lot over the past few months, so I decided to do a little round-up post for you all. The story behind this cute, high-waisted skirt, is that my friend Ayn-Monique—who co-writes the awesome design blog, Swatchbook with our friend, Allie—and I did a small swap last spring. I had a necklace that I never wore, that she loved, and in turn she gave me this skirt, which I adore. I can’t tell you how much wear I’ve gotten out of it, including quite a few outfits that I wore a while ago that were never photographed for the blog. Anyway, I’d like to send out a huge thank you to Ayn-Monique for giving me this awesome addition, staple really, to my wardrobe! Now tell me, which outfit, including the one from earlier today, (shown just above this post!) is your favorite ensemble? xoxo

Outfit Remix: Seeing Double

So, remember yesterday when I re-blogged The Glamourai’s post about ankle/shoe jewels? Well, I mentioned how I also bought similar gray lace tights, which I promptly put on the minute I got home. Well, seeing how I couldn’t just prance around in my tights for the rest of the day, I went about creating an outfit for myself. I found that I was drawn to my striped dress, faux fur vest and braided necklace combination, then threw on my black bowler hat and black ankle booties for a nice contrast. I snapped a few photos and then realized that my little ensemble was almost identical to an outfit I wore a couple weeks ago. Here is a comparison of the two. I think it’s fun to re-wear an almost identical outfit again, and then just alter it slightly by changing out the accessories to give it some new flair. So, as close as these two looks are, which one is your favorite?

My Outfit:
Earrings: UO
Bracelet: (Actually a necklace!) H&M
Necklace: Fred Flare
Faux fur vest: BB Dakota from ModCloth
Dress: H&M, thrifted from Buffalo Exchange
Tights: UO
Boots: F21

My Outfit: Flower Girl

Okay, I am up to six different outfits that include this dress as the main piece. I dug this little maroon caplet/cropped blazer from the depths of my closet and went the retro route again. I pinned an over-sized silk flower to my jacket, which made me feel very 1940s. Loved it!

These four photos show the evolution of the outfit, and how I tweaked it bit by bit. First adding gloves and then the final touch, a simple black belt. So, tell me, what’s your favorite version? Hope you all had a lovely weekend, and Happy Columbus day!

P.S. Stay tuned later today to see all six outfits!

My Outfit:
Sunglasses:Vintage from 20Twenty
Necklace: Grandmother’s vintage watch on chain
Dress: Vintage, thrifted from Buffalo Exchange
Belt: F21
Flower: H&M
Caplet/Blazer: F21
Gloves: H&M
Tights: ?
Shoes: Vintage Ferragamo heels, thrifted from Beacon’s Closet

My Outfit: Feeling Patriotic

Folks, it’s official. I finally bought my very own pair of red tights! I have been searching for a pair for quite some time and then as I walked past an American Apparel last night and found exactly what I was looking for. As you know, I have been having the best time remixing this dress, so I of course had to immediately try the two of them together. What a smashing contrast! I borrowed my roommates new coat/trench and accented with my mustard-colored purse. Don’t you think the headscarf and over-sized glasses give it a 1950s/politician’s wife feel? Very patriotic, indeed!

My Outfit:
Scarf: NafNaf in Paris
Sunglasses: Vintage, 20twenty in Ballard
Coat: Roomies!
Dress: Vintage, thrifted from Buffalo Exchange
Belt: Thrifted, somewhere in the west village (?)
Necklace: Grandmother’s vintage watch on chain
Tights: American Apparel
Shoes: Jenni Kayne, gift from BFF
Bag: Coach
