Remix: Personal Challenge

I have taken on a personal challenge to try and pair these two items—a vintage, leather woven top on loan from Pamela, and acid wash jeans, on loan from Jessica (see how she wore them on her blog!)—together as well as integrate them into outfits I create out of items I already own in my closet. This means by the time the work week is over, which is in two days, there will be a total of not one outfit, not two, but three outfits using at least one of the items shown above.

So, my dearest readers, stay tuned and check back again today at NOON to see the very first ensemble! Who’s excited?! Clearly, I am.

My Outfit: Graphic Skirt, Version #1

As I’m sure you all know, I have about a million of these fun, flirty skirts from F21. You might recognize my pink and black version here. But, I had yet to wear the black and white one very often, so I thought it was high time I debuted it. I’m sort of loving how each photo is sort of blown out. It really makes the graphic print of this skirt pop! Anyway, this is how I decided to wear it. It was perfect for the hot and muggy weather NYC has been having, but in this outfit, I felt light ‘n breezy. Stay tuned for version #2, remix style!

Sunglasses: RayBan

Tank: American Apparel

Belt: H&M

Skirt: Forever 21

Sandals: A little shop in Mykonos, Greece

Outfit Remix: Party to Park

Item: Black Romper from Forever 21.

Left Photo: I wore this up to Central Park to spend a lovely day in the park and to mingle with fellow fashionistas/bloggers at the Weardrobe Meet ‘n Greet! (More photos to come!) I decided to wear brown gladiators, (later I decided to slip on my gold Dolce Vita sandals) and a yellow and gold belt to accent the straw fedora.

Right Photo: This is the original outfit, that I first debuted on my Birthday party night. Because it was a dressier occasion, I wanted to look demure yet sexy. I think the best color pairing when going for this look, is to wear nude/cream colored accents against black. In this case, I simply added a similar colored belt and heels, which I felt really popped against the black romper.

Outfit Remix: Outside to Inside

As you know, I purchased this skirt last week from Beacon’s Closet. I am all about wearing things more ways than once, and this item was the perfect specimen to experiment with. Since the top of the skirt has a wide elastic band, it was easy to pull up and wear as a tube top. But being just a tad too short to wear as a dress, I slipped on some shorty shorts to remedy that issue, and layered the top with a vest to avoid any billowing that might occur. I love how these two looks use many of the same components—such as the sunglasses, shorts and shoes—whilte staying within the same color scheme, yet look totally different from the other. The outfit on the left would be perfect for an outdoor live music festival with friends and the one on the right would be super cute to wear to the office!

Outfit Remix: Day n’ Night

Here is another one of my fab finds from F21. I was going through my photos and found three different times that I wore this cute black and white patterned skirt over the past couple months. The first outfit was worn while running errands in my neighborhood. It was a beautiful day and the skirt provided enough airiness that kept me cool all day. The second outfit was worn out to a dinner on a rainy spring night—hence the black raincoat— and the last outfit was worn during a fun lunch at Bryant Park with Jessica! Although the first and third outfits are similar in style, by merely changing up the accent colors and adding a hat or scarf, the ensembles take on two completely different looks. As for the second outfit, the accessories and color scheme is almost identical to outfit number one, so in order to take this look from casual to chic and ready for a night out on the town, just throw on some heels and you’re ready to go!

My Outfit: Floral Skirt Remixed

Remember this skirt? Well, here it is again, shown two different ways! I wore the outfit on the left out to a dinner in the LES, whereas the outfit on the right was worn wandering around D.U.M.B.O after a Saturday brunch with friends. I love changing items up and wearing them for different occasions. This is one of my favorite things to do when it comes to styling outfits. Lots more remix/rematch-related posts to come!
