The Internet is also good for keeping track of one's wardrobe, I must say! When I pulled out this floral dress and knew exactly how I wanted to wear it with my new shoes, I was curious about how I had worn it before. You see, it is one of my favorite dresses and I have worn it SO much, but each time I try to change something. So I dug through my archives and found tons of images of it. Here are a few of my favorites. This dress has been well loved.
Today's outfit details: dress- H&M, shoes- Urban Outfitters, scarf- my mother's, watch- Urban Outfitters, bag- the Stadium Swapmeet in Hawaii

Oooo, I like it very much with the green pea coat, and the long socks.
I have dresses that I visit again and again and always manage to come up with new ways to wear them.

your so good at combining clothes! i'm a bit jealous. ;D
That's the great thing about blogging about your own look, because later on you can look back and think, "Oh, I wore it like that before!" I love how you can wear the dress so many ways and it never looks old.
Love the dress and the red shoes.
The green jacket is a nice one too.
The shoes, bag & scarf is perfect! & yes, I like keep track of my outfits too! I love the different ways you have worn the dress! :) I can't stop wearing my favourite dress either.
very cute! the dress is splendid.
and I love how versatile it is and how you can think of so many ways to wear it.
Oh I love how you've stretched a single dress into so many genius outfits! It takes a truly gifted dresser to do so.
I wrote about dresses today too. I love when blogs are in tune like that... great minds eh??
I really, really like it belted. But I also love the latest version mainly because you incorporated the red accents so well and played with them while leaving the dress serve as a background/canvas.
As for vacations, I feel your craving, as I had not had a vacation for almost 2 years prior to last month. But better be busy and overwhelmed with life than be deprived of its versatility.
You struck a cord with the unicorn mentioning. I love unicorns.
Last but not least, would you like to exchange links? I have been getting more and more hooked up on your posts.
You're right about that, it is a great way to keep track of your wardrobe. It definitely helps to see what things you like and don't like about the things you wear. I used to find an outfit that I loved, then wear it out over and over again. Ever since I started taking outfit photos, I've tried to stop doing that.
Sorry for the comment spam, but I forgot to mention how much I adore your red shoes.
I'm going to add you to my blogroll, cos I love your posts.
I love the scarf matching to the shoes, perfection!!!
a kiss my friend!
what a great idea for a post! they always do things like this in mags and yet never really seem to pull off the different-ness of the looks quite as well as you. it's great to see it put into everyday-girl action! :)
Yes! Unicorns and narwhal horns! Do you know about this:

Scroll to the bottom of that post... I will try to find the article that it originally came from. Apparently, the one horn is a rare deformity that could have also been responsible for the myth of unicorns when seen on horses. Magical, indeed.
Also, I love the outfit. Duh. You are good at clothes.
i love the way you stylized this outfit.. and that scarf is just perfect...

What a great idea! I loved seeing all the different combinations of your outfits... you're such a great stylist.
such a gorgeous, cute dress! I love all the different looks you have done with this dress..it shows that you really have talent when it comes to style ;)

hee hee "you are good at clothes" ^ i agree! i like your new shoes alot and I like the look of the socks over the tights in the previous pictures. fun post!
I really love the way you have worn it with the big scarf, and the other times when you've worn it with long socks.
The thought of a colossus squid scares the whatsits out of me, I am going on holiday soon and have been obsessively watching shark programs, now I to worry about GIANT SQUIDS!!! I think I'm going to faint!
I love how you combine so many different looks out of one piece!
i do love it when you find a piece you just wanna wear ova n ova again.its a lovly dress,looks gorgous with your red shoesxx
Great to have versatile pieces...Its nice to be able to have a piece that you can use to create a whole new look by just tweaking with accessories =) Looks great and I like the dress very much on you!
You have a really nice blog!
Lovely dress indeed, I think you're newest outfit is the best.
Do you make all these pictures yourself?
how fun! Now that I've been at this blogging thing awhile I love trolling the archives to recall how I wore favorite pieces as well. This little dress is such a classic!
I love those red shoes. :]
Good work ,it looks like a completely different kind of dress every photo.
Did you take the first photos in this post?What kind of camera is it if you did? I love those ,they remind me of an Urban Outfitters catalog.
It shows that good choice of matching colors can do the wonder.
loving the different patterns...the scarf paired with the textured dress is fabulous. love the red in the shoes with the trim in the scarf.
You stylist genius, you. Each pic boasts a completely different look but with the same dress. I like it!
Haha I spend a lot of time looking up random things on the Internet too. When I was in elementary school, I used to enter random search terms in my CD-ROM encyclopedia (remember those?) and read whatever popped up.
the photo of the red shoes + grass is fabulous!
ah! i LOVE the red shoes/scarf combo but also the bow/belt and the ivory or khaki jacket. divine. if you don't mind -- where is the aforementioned jacket from? thanks!
I see why it is a favorite. Its perfect and I love the red scarf and shoes.
i like your pictures, the green jacket is very nice. kisses from argentina.
i like your pictures, the green jacket is very nice. kisses from argentina.
My favourite pic must be the second pic of you where you wore the fave dress with red shoes and a super adorable pose!
I love this dress! My fave look is with the socks and tights and belt in the last picture.
I'd almost forgotten that narwhals were real... Or still around. They do seem a little like they wouldn't exist, eh?
You have an immaculate sense of style. I am in love!
this post just proves how stylish you are (not that you really ever need proof, one glance at your blog and anyone would be convinced you're a fashion genius, seriously!) each time you wore that dress it was totally different. i would never have guessed its the same amazing dress! the fact that you can go into your closet & make it "new" each time is truly remarkable, i wish i had that talent! i really love the new look, you should wear more scarves, they look fab on you! and the shoes are currently my new favorites :)
The bottom two are too cute!
The red shoes and scarf are adorable!
I love how you created so many outfits with one dress, yet they all look so different.
I love the dress paired with the green pea coat; it looks so schoolgirl chic with the shoes.
i love trolling the internet for weird animals. =) i've never heard of the okapi before. i image googled it and it is funky! when you said a mix between a zebra and a giraffe i couldn't picture it. haha.
That dress has served you well! I love how you've made it different everytime you've worn it.
Your photos have really come a long way from when I first started reading your blog. I hope I get to that point soon! (if only so I feel less ackward)
I love the dress/scarf combination! Very cute- great blog!
i do not believe in such animals:
blue whales, giant squids, unicorns, or these OKAPI that you speak of!
i love the scarf on you!
You make it look different and new every time!
I love how you manage to make it different each time. It doesn't look like the same dress!
Love the recap. You have worn it many ways. My fav is the last pic with the bow belt. I am sure I have that saved in my lookbook. :-)
Hmm it's hard but my fave would be you in the cardigan by the fireplace. And it's pretty unusual but i think the watch really popped and made the outfit unique this time. I love it.
love your look as always. love the pop of red. i love red recently.
Haha, I love to find random fun facts on the net. Google is great and there is Wikipedia... aaah, so much knowledge to be found.
Lovely dress and I really like the last ensemble from the old pictures. Such a cute belt.
One's blog is a really good way to be inspired by oneself, like "I don't know how to wear this dress, but I'll check out my own blog for ideas!" It's reaaly smart.
Your dress is so cute, and so are your shoes!
I love the way you've casually draped the scarf around your neck...
I love the many different ways that you worked the dress! They all look so different but are all true to your own style...
Narwhals are pretty much the most amazing creature ever. I fell in love with them in the fourth grade.
That is some quite cute wristwear! I like how it contrasts with your dress.
I love the pictures on the green grass, they compliment perfectly your red accessories!
holy crap i love that scarf!
btw how have u been? i've not heard from you in such a long time but i'm super happy to see your blog doing so well and i must say you are 1000x's more stylish than i remembered!
P.S. I agree about the internet lol it's def a time waster, though i do enjoy scoping out what others are wearing and it def helps u keep track of your wardrobe!
hope all is well xoxo
so versatility is the keyword for today! I love things that I could put together effortlessly and I think your dress sums it up!
Lovely shots...
^^
^Chelsea bullock, the jacket is from Urban Outfitters. I don't mean to be pessimistic, but I bought it around 2 years ago, so I don't know if you can find it...
It's so nice to look at all the different outfits you've built around that dress! And I adore it with the scarf :-)
What a great dress, and you really showcase how versatile a single item like this classic can be. I love how you wear that red scarf in the first photo. There really needs to be some website that details how to artistically drape scarfs!
ahhh you look so amazing!! i hadnt read your blog in a week or so and was seriously missing it!!!
