One of the best ways to get the most out of the items in your closet is to remix. I get dressed with the goal of wearing a "new" outfit many days...remixing my items in ways I haven't worn them before so it feels like I'm wearing something new. Does it happen every single day? No. But when it works out it's fun to walk out my front door feeling like I'm wearing something I never have before. When I look for ways to remix, I look to mix new color combinations, add different jewelry, or even just change up the shoes. Even the slightest change in accessories can give an outfit a whole new look and feel. The possibilities are endless!
When I last wore this cardigan, I paired it with a red tank, dark blue denim and my Miz Mooz boots. I loved how the colors looked together so I wanted to incorporate red again somehow. This time around I decided to make red an accent color and throw in another main color to pair with the mustard yellow...turquoise! I also changed up the pants from denim to grey cords to really give it a different look overall. Here's how it turned out:
What I Wore:
Insouciant Tank-Anthropologie
Bookstore Cardi-Down East Basics
Always Skinny Cords-Gap
Miz Mooz "Siri" Knee-High Boots-Endless
Rock Candy Necklace-Anthropologie
Baroness Bliss Teardrop Earrings-Ruche
Ring-Target
Fast forward to this week...the weather is suppose to be in the 80's by Friday...woo hoo! So excited for some sunshine after a dreary, rainy week last week. I'm hoping it'll be here to stay!
Did you see the great sale at Anthro today? Holy cow, so many great things went down in price this morning! I did my bit of damage like many...can't wait to get my order that includes THIS, THIS, and THESE along with a few other goodies. Yay for sale days...crossing my fingers that's the last one for the month or my budget is gonna go BUST--if it hasn't already! =) Did you get anything fun??
Have a great day!
Great remix, so cute! Looove that necklace. I'm a huge remixer. Like u I think its fun to come up with new combos. In college my bff's mom had her outfits typed out down to the jewelry and would never change the combos! It was written in stone.
ReplyDeleteA typed out list? Seriously? Where's the fun in that! Haha. I must admit I used to pretty much only wear things one way too though...remixing was a foreign concept. Now i love it though It makes getting dressed in the morning so much more fun!
DeleteIt was a great Sale! Finally some of the things that have been on my wishlist for what seems forever, finally hit sale. I purchased the Art of Pursuit top, Revolved Blooms Blouse, Swivel Revolution top, and the Banded Borders top. Trying to decide if I want to pull the trigger on the Sky Rays Necklace or wait for 2nd cuts.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you got some fun goodies as well. Can't wait to see how you style the Crest-Cut Wedges. :)
I'm holding out for 2nd cuts on the necklace too...hope it lasts! You scored some great items...we'll be twinners with some of it! ;)
DeleteCan you PLEASE do a detailed review of the Crest-Cut Wedges when you get them- I have those on my radar, but have yet to see any really good reviews (with pictures).
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to hear what you think!
Thanks!
For sure! They should arrive around next Tuesday so later next week I'll try to post a review. I ordered 2 sizes since I'd never tried them on before so crossing my fingers at least one works!
DeleteYou look great! Love the colors. I had to restrain myself from picking up too much because J.Crew has already destroyed my budget for the month. I also picked up those cute wedges (wondering how they'll work since reviews are not stellar) as well as the pink striped chevron chemise for my Hawaii trip next month.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kristine! You scored some fun stuff!! Hope the wedges work out for you too! And that Maxi will be perfect for your vacation...they are so comfy!!
DeleteYou look great! Loving the mustard and turquoise together - you have such an eye for color combos! Hooray for picking up some coveted items on markdown - I am feeling tempted by the Revolved Blooms Blouse, but I'm worried that the sleeves will do me in again...I really need free shipping to come back so it's not such a risk to try things out!
ReplyDeleteAhh, thanks Jan!! I hear us on the shipping thing...it's been a while since they've done a good free shipping promo...bring it back, Anthro!!
DeleteI love the turquoise paired with yellow- I think that will always be a favorite color combo of mine! And the pop of red is perfection!
ReplyDeleteThanks girlie! =)
DeleteYup, remixing is a must! You look adorable!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much!
DeleteCan't wait to see you style with Revolved Blooms Blouse! I am hoping to get it next month with my b day discount!
ReplyDeleteIt's such a cute top...I have lots of ideas of how to wear it!!! =)
DeleteRemixing is where it's at! You do it so well. Love this outfit. Teal and red...you can never go wrong there. I'm so jealous of your weather...I'd take rainy and clouds ANY DAY over 90's in March and April. Hope your sale picks all work out! I'm interested to hear your review of the wedges too. I can't wait to get my order, and crossing fingers they're all keepers!
ReplyDeleteThanks girlie! Oh, how I remember those hot spring San Antonio days...can't say I miss them! I saw your post about your sale haul...you got some fun stuff! Enjoy your new goodies!
