Saturday Remix


Fall, winter, summer, and spring I've worn this dress through them all. It's more than three years old now, one of my first purchases from ASOS (I can't resist an insect print), and definitely still one of my favorite dresses to wear. It's rather fun to dig through the archives and pull up a few photographs on how I've worn it before. The process is helping me sort through my closet and figure out what to keep (pieces I wear again and again) and what to donate to my local thrift shop.

The dress looks amazing and you can rock it pretty well!

Blimey it looks cold! Fantastic print. I love botanical the variety of ways you've styled it too.
A piece like that will fall apart before you every get rid of it, and only get more charming with age.

This really is a lovely dress! I can see why you keep going back to it. And I have to say that out of all these outfits, my favourite has to be the 2nd one. My eyes keep going back to it, everything about the picture is just stunning!

It is a lovely dress :) I like the second and last looks best - the jacket on the last especially, I wouldn't expect such a floaty dress to work well with a structured jacket but it really does!

Also I don't mean to sound like a creeper but you have great legs, I'm totally jealous!

I always love when you wear this dress, it's so cute! I especially loved it paired with your two-tone cardigan and the pictures you took wearing it in the snow!

Jenny Morris said...

this dress is lovely! i love that you do wardrobe remixes because it shows that bloggers can wear the same thing over and over and still be chic. im often afraid im coming off as a big consumer - even though i shop very little!

Your photos are always so lively! And it is very inspiring how you can make one piece so versatile.

This is one of my favorite dresses of yours. The print is unique and the silhouette is very flattering. I think its so cool that you keep wearing pieces like this yet still manage to reconstruct a new look for it. I especially like how you wear it with those black boots and with the blazer

Your remix posts are some of my favorite of yours. I love to see the way that people reuse the clothes that they have. It's so interesting to see the many lives an article of clothing can have.
And I love anything with insects too!

I've always loved the cut and print of this dress. It's flattering and feminine with whimsical, fun details that really keep it youthful and distinctive.

I can't believe you work it in a snow storm without a coat! You really are such a fearless photographer and subject, Rebecca~!
