My After Outfit: September Stripes

I am LOVING the shorter length of my new dress! Don’t get me wrong, I like to switch it up and wear longer skirts from time to time—kudos to those ladies that have lovely long legs who always look so demure in their below the knee skirts (jealous!)—but, I do know what works on my body and it is important to work with what you have, wear styles that flatter you, and love whatcha momma gave you…so, I will continue to strive for that. OK. With that said, that is only my personal opinion, so tell me dearies, what do you think of this new length? And as always, please keep it nice ‘n sweet!

My Outfit:

Hat: Urban Outfitters

Necklace: Grandmother’s watch on chain

Vest: ?

Dress: Thrifted, Vintage store in Ballard

Rad Remixer: The Clothes Horse

Are you all familiar with the awesome blog, The Clothes Horse? Well, if you aren’t, visit it now! This girl creates great outfits and remixes her clothes with an excellent eye and sense of style. Kudos. Oh, and she is from Washington, too! Double kudos. Loving this red dress shown two ways. I think I definitely want knee socks for fall.

Outfit Remix: Floral Onesie

Happy Wednesday! I hope you all have been having a lovely week so far. I definitely have. I have been working from home in Seattle, taking walks with my Mom, thrift shopping and eating yummy ice cream with my Dad (pictures of that to come later today!) But first, can anyone tell me if they recognize this flowered top? Well, to be honest, it is not a top at all! It’s actually a romper which I wore not too long ago. Now, I am not a huge advocate of covering a fabulous onesie, but from time to time, when you need to switch things up in the wardrobe area, try this little trick. If you slip it under a kicky little skirt, you’ll instantly have a new blouse. Plus, look at the shorts as a little under-the-skirt-insurance if the wind starts to blow!

My Outfit:

Hat: Urban Outfitters

Romper: Forever 21

Outfit Remix: Farm Chick vs Chic

Remember the outfit on the left? Well, here are my new short-alls again, except shown in a dressier manner. I wanted to see if I could style them so that they would be appropriate for a night out, so I went with my silk tank top and belt that I wore here. If you were going to wear these short-alls, even if they aren’t your style, which version would you wear? Farm chick or chic?

Short-alls: Thrifted, Beacon’s Closet

Tank: Club Monaco

Outfit Remix: Mad About Plaid

After pairing my plaid shirt with my new short-alls in the previous post, I remembered two remixes I created based around said shirt, but completely forgot about the layout I created for them. So, I dug around in my files for a bit, and finally found it! I think it’s ust a fun way to dress up or dress down an otherwise pretty basic button down shirt.

Outfit Remix: Top to Bottom

I first posted about this outfit a few weeks ago and loved the skirt/top so much that I decided to wear it to happy hour drinks with friends. It was a muggy evening and I wanted to make sure I stayed cool, so I slipped the skirt up over my waist—leaving my shoulders bare— and tucked it in to short shorts. I topped the whole look with a chunky turquoise necklace and my trusty hat, and I was ready to roll! Which of these three remixes is your favorite? xoxo

Remix: Dreaming of September

Happy Friday, lovelies! First and foremost, I just want to say thanks so much for reading the blog and for all your support and kind words. And, now I give you, the final ensemble! A little background on this outfit: Don’t get me wrong, I love summer, and warm, sunny days. But, when the humidity hits, I begin daydreaming about the perfect brisk days of fall, autumn colors, and “back to school” outfits…especially ones that involve oxford heels. And, if you are an avid reader of my blog, you already know how I feel about oxfords. That is what inspired this last outfit. The crisp colors in the top made me immediately want to pair it with my high-waisted, navy blue skirt, which really made the stripes pop. I feel like this little number would be perfect for a lovely day in late September, early October. Tights would be a cute addition as well. But, I’m getting a little head of myself, so since it is still summer, this outfit would be great for the office (maybe don’t bare your shoulder, instead add a blazer!) or to a hip art gallery opening in Chelsea.

Hat: Urban Outfitters

Sunglasses: RayBan

Belt: Thrifted, East Village

Remix: I Heart NY

Here is ensemble #2! Let me tell you, working with acid wash jeans is a challenge within itself. I wanted to give the jeans a completely different look the second time around, but trying to neutralize them and make them look casual was definitely a tricky task. So, in order to do this, I decided to pair them with solid colors and plain ballet flats. The basic black blazer and white tee help ground the busy pattern of the jeans so that the overall look is, yes, fairly downtown-hipster, but also more casual and dressed down, perfect for a day of shopping in the LES!

Hat: Urban Outfitters

Sunglasses: F21

Necklace: ?

Jeans: Mandee’s

Shirt: Store in Chinatown circa 2004

Shoes: Urban Outfitters

Check back again at 12PM to see the final outfit!
