Mean Reds

"Nothing limits achievement like small thinking; nothing expands possibilities like unleashed imagination." -William Arthur Ward
My remix posts seem to be popular lately so I am making an effort to post one of these semi-regularly. I consider most of my outfits remixes on some level, since I make an effort to never wear the same exact outfit (not to say that I don't repeat, just that I try not to). This H&M red dress is one of my favorite dresses of summer and I already wore it here and here.
skirt- American Eagle, shoes- Dr. Scholls, bag- secondhand
scarf- my mother's, bag- Pull and Bear, shoes- secondhand
blazer- H&M, shoes- vintage
vest- H&M, shoes- H&M
beret-secondhand, cardigan- Forever 21, tights- Betsey Johnson via Modcloth, shoes- Urban Outfitters
jacket- secondhand, bag- secondhand, shoes- some shop in Japan
belt-vintage, socks- Thank You Mart, shoes- Seychelles from my sisters

I am one of the many who enjoy these remix posts immensely.

My favorites of this set are:

the one with the blazer, the one with the Betsey Johnson tights, and the penultimate one with the denim jacket (this one looks sooo nice with the shoes laced up your legs).

Jenny said...

I have that dress and it's my favorite dress right now too! I love all your outfits but especially the first and last one. Love the first because I love mixing my big skirts and dresses. Love the last because I have those shoes in brown and I absolutely adore them. Don't they make you feel like a flower child but with shoes? Awesome blog :D

Sher said...

Louie in Wonderland said...

Oh...My...God! All the outfits are so cute!!! You prove that it doesn't matter what you wear but how you wear it! I love the secondhand bag! And the beret too! But the tights... it had to be Betsey Johnson! Love it all!
Sincerely Louie, Ciao!

I can't help but notice that you have one of the most amazing set of bangs I've ever seen. I love the dress and it's versatility. You seem to have such luck at H&M!

Leproust Vintage said...

Fabulous! Each one of the outfits had its own personality, different from the last!

Wow, do you know how to work a look. I'm really digging the cropped vest!

Rosie Unknown said...

That is such a pretty colour on you! I love the shoes in the second last picture, I've never seen anything like them, except in my imagination.

catherine_sr. said...

Oh, these are so wonderful, creative and inspiring! I have a few summer dresses that I feel like I'm stuck in a rut with (usually I just pair them with a cardigan or a denim vest), but seeing what you've done with your red dress (which is lovely, by the way) gives me hope for my wardrobe. Thanks for sharing!

Sophie, the Barton Girl said...

Crazy in love with your pumps on pictures 3 and 4!

Meream said...

Really love these posts, too. Cannot wait for more. :)

alixrose said...

Lovely my dear, I adore how you mixed up this one lovely dress. All of these remixes are so different and totally stylish.
Wonderful!

dapper kid said...

What a gorgeous dress! I love your bag in the first look, it is so amazing :) And your studded shoes in the second look really are wonderful. The fifth look has to be my favourite, loving the long cardigan and sequined beret. And I really do need to buy a good denim jacket, thrash it for a few years, and wear it proudly once faded!

lauren. said...

lovely dress :) so many ways to wear it!

Lexie said...

you are SO good at remixing dresses. i actually think i have the most trouble restyling dresses - your posts generate good ideas.

The Wandering Writer said...

I love them all but I think my favorite is the black cardigan, polka dot tights, and sequined hat. So cute!
