Style Remix: Keeping it Classy

It's no secret that I am a shameless outfit repeater. So for today, I am going to show another way I've styled an old item off my closet. Technically, this isn't too old. But you might have seen me wear this skirt here and here. I tried to keep it simple this time, focusing on making the skirt the focal piece of my outfit. I opted for a basic white tee to make the two-tone skirt pop. A statement necklace infused the glam feel to the look and also makes it a bit dressed up than your regular casual day look. 

Aside from being really comfortable to wear, I like this outfit because I think it is the closest reflection to my personal style: feminine but simple. A red lipstick helped to add the sass to my outfit so I just went for it. I am wearing IN2IT's long lasting red lipstick, if you're curious.

What outfit represents your personal style most?

 

Red Remix

Okay, okay... I am guilty of being an outfit repeater. But who isn't? Since I started earning on my own, I've been indulging in my shopping urges but I've also learned the art of being thrift a.k.a. smart shopping. When I look at an item before buying it, I tend to evaluate a few things: 1) where can I wear it, 2) how many ways can I style it, and 3) would I be able to pair it with other pieces in my closet. These are just some of the thoughts that go through my mind, there are a few more (that I would spare you of!). So, yes, I am slowly transitioning away from my impulsive ways (of which I had also been guilty of) to investing in timeless pieces that I can maximize use of.

If you can remember this top dress (if you can't, let me refresh you with this post), I really loved it when I first saw it online. But I had to stop and think if I would want to purchase the dress given that it might not be versatile enough. But lo and behold, I managed to turn this dress into a top and paired with black leggings for a bit more dressed up downtown chic look. A high ponytail was all I needed to complete this look. I love the cutout detail around the neckline so I always skip the necklace whenever I am wearing this dress. 

What outfit have you tried re-mixing lately?

 

February Style Remix {Houndstooth}

Quality buys for me signify items that I can remix and re-wear. I might have impulsive tendencies when it comes to shopping but I had put in my best effort to keep my shopping habits to within reasonable means. 

This houndstooth skirt is one of my favorite purchases from last year. It's a favorite because I'm obsessed with the pattern (the topmost reason) but also because it is comfortable and can be styled plenty of ways. That is what I love about B&W patterns.

This look for the day was a cross between casual and sexy. This buttoned down top is a good investment for me. I can style it in 10 different ways and you would not even realize I am wearing the same top. Check two other ways I've styled it here and here. 

I opted to style my hair in a bun to elicit a carefree vibe to the look. 

How's it going where you are? xx
