This printed dress was featured last summer and I've only worn it one way, as there were not changes needing to be made at that moment. Since I adored this dress so much I decided to create a peplum effect by tucking the hem into my tulle-layered skirt.
Sometimes you just need to bring back a good thing, (and in my case this tank styled dress) to mix it up by embracing its versatility. The dress is a style that could go from summer to fall quite easily with an addition of artful tights, boots, or a 3/4 length Tee! Of course, for those cold nights adding a leather jacket would be my obvious selection as well!
I always enjoy remixing items from my wardrobe ...
Have you remixed any older items from your closet recently? Do you have a favourite item that you love to wear in your summer to fall climate transition?

I love this look! I need to remix more often, it would probably help with all my shopping. Love the colors on you.
ReplyDeletenice idea! the dress looks lovely either way! Recently I remixed 2 dresses of mine...since I didn't wear them a lot I decided to cut them and make tops out of them, which I'll definitely wear more!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful skirt! It matches perfectly with that shirt!

This is fab...I like what you did here. I quite often do that kind of thing. My husband always wonders what the heck I'm doing when I tuck a dress into a skirt, but sometimes the tops of the dress is quite nice on it's own :)) Very inventive. I'm going to get some lace appliques and crystal gems to be adding to some pieces of clothing in my wardrobe sometime. I like to do that to make an original piece when I get bored of looking at something I've worn. You look fabulous :) Have a wonderful weekend doll xoxox

Now that's a clever remix! I'm a big fan of tiered dresses and skirts and I just adore how you've remixed your dress and created that adorable peplum. As for remixing pieces in my closet - as of late, this is all I have been doing being on a shopping ban since March:)
ReplyDeleteYour creativity never ceases to amaze me. Love this look!!
ReplyDeletelove it so much! you look amazing!

I love what you did here with the remix, I have to say I'm a bit crap at the transition period between fall and summer, that inbetween time always gets me.
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute look, loving the print!
ReplyDeleteThank you! :)
ReplyDeleteYes, it's actually good to remix, sometimes you find that you love an item even more. Hope your weekend was amazing.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kizzy. I agree with you being inventive often helps me also to see my wardrobe differently. I adore lace so I am excited for you and your new clothing additions. :) xo
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comment Jessica! Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty dress! I love me a good remix!
ReplyDeleteI adore the print on that peplum - what a great way to get more wear out of your dress!

ReplyDeleteYou look crazy hot in this dress! I love how it's unusual in the sense that it's not all one colour like every other peplum style getting around.
Super super super stylish as usual
Thanks dear. The print is my favourite! xo Hope your weekend was amazing.

ReplyDeleteThank you Sherin. I love peplums! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Arash! Yes the transitional period can be tricky, but I think, at least for me layers and textures definitely help me get into the groove! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much dear. Enjoy your week.x
ReplyDeleteI love love your peplum skirt!!!
ReplyDeleteYou look flawless !
Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThank you. :)
ReplyDeleteThat beaded necklace matches perfectly with your top and skirt. But, the footwear does not do any justice to your getup. A pair of strappy, black wedges would add more vavavoom to your look. Nevertheless, you got great fashion sense.
