un deux trois // wardrobe remix

remixed item: peter pan collar dress from asos
outfit 1: cardigan & belt - forever 21 // shoes - from my grandmom
outfit 2: cardigan - h&m // shoes - modcloth // tights - marshalls
outfit 3: cardigan - f21 // lady tie - flapper girl // belt - asos // shoes - dorothy perkins

I didn't really intend on doing another wardrobe remix post again so soon but I'm pretty sick right now and this seemed like a good alternative to any kind of post that would require a) getting dressed and taking photos of myself or b) basically any thought or effort.

I got super sick Sunday night and I've been hanging out on the living room couch ever since. I really haven't felt this wiped out since I had the flu four years ago. Fun stuff. On the bright side, my mom volunteered to watch Jurassic Park with me and Kyle offered to keep me company for an Office marathon so that makes feeling like death a little more palatable.

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!
