un deux trois // wardrobe remix

remixed item: red scalloped collar dress from modcloth
outfit 1:  white belt - old navy // red belt - f21 // shoes - modcloth
outfit 2: skirt - h&m // white belt - f21 // shoes - c/o blowfish
outfit 3: belt - from another dress // shoes - urbanog

It's been a while since I did a remix post! I actually have a whole stash of ones ready to go and I just keep forgetting to post them. This is one of my favorites, since I love this dress to pieces! It's got the most adorable little scalloped collar and I love the not-quite-short-not-quite-3/4-length sleeves.

I never actually posted the first photo here. It was sitting in my "unused outfits" folder for some reason. I did wear the dress one other time on the blog, but it was a super bad hair day and I don't really want to revisit that lol ;p My favorite of the three is definitely the last and most recent outfit, with the yellow. I'm a sucker for ketchup and mustard!

remixed item: urban outfitters dress from trade with Amber
outfit 1: cardigan - forever 21 | belt - old navy | shoes - blowfish
outfit 2: cardigan - forever 21 | shoes - modcloth | tights - target
outfit 3: cardigan - c/o modcloth | shoes - urbanog

This is one of my favorite dresses... partially because it's so pretty and fits like a glove but mainly because me and Amber got to be friends during this trade *aww* :) But seriously, I wear it quite a bit. It's one of my go-to dresses when I don't feel like spending a lot of time putting an outfit together, because it's so easy to style and always makes me feel put together.

It's funny, I always go back and read the old posts when I do these remixes and in the first one I wrote about having a rough time with my move to Canada (which eventually fell through.) I'm actually going through a bit of a rough patch right now, and reading that post reminded me that no matter what disappointments I'm facing, or how much something may be weighing on my mind day and night, I eventually move on and forget. Not moving to Canada seems like a distant memory now and I don't feel even remotely emotional about it anymore. Eventually the things that seem like colossal failures to me right now will fade, and I'm really glad I was reminded of that today.

remixed item: lace dress from h&m
outfit 1: belt - vintage | shoes - modcloth | hairbow - hive & honey
outfit 2: cardigan & tights - h&m | shoes - from my grandmom | belt - f21
outfit 3: lace cardigan - f21 | tights - h&m | shoes - urbanog

I DIY-ed this dress in April, and thought it would make for a fun remix post! I have quite a few lace dresses, so sacrificing one to the altar of Do It Yourself wasn't too hard, and I love how it came out. I took fake flowers from the craft store and attached them to the bodice with beads and embroidery thread. You can see the instructions and close-ups here! :)

remixed item: red skirt c/o francesca's collections
outfit 1: shirt - asos | cardigan - forever 21 | shoes - c/o blowfish
outfit 2: shirt - old navy | shoes - modcloth | tie - c/o flapper girl
outfit 3: shirt - modcloth | shoes - asos

It's been a while since I did a remix post, so I thought it was time to start them up again! :) I think it's funny that every time I wore this skirt I paired it with a button up blouse! I think I always tend to do that with buttoned skirts for some reason. My favorite in this batch is the middle outfit, with the blue shoes. I love the way teal blue and red look together!
