Fresh Perspective
One can easily reinvent a cotton summer dress into a work appropriate piece by simply adding a few key accessories. An effortless way to elevate a look can be as simple as slipping on a blazer, like I did here. No muss, no fuss! This chevron printed number was picked up from my local Target a couple weeks ago and I’m not regretting my decision one bit. It has easily transitioned from the office to the weekend in a matter of minutes. Remove the blazer, swap the sparkly bauble for fun sunnies, ditch the oxfords for sandals and exchange the clutch for a little fringe. Voilà, a fresh perspective on a summer staple!
In semi-related news, I’ve come to the realization that I need a fresh perspective on my wardrobe? I can’t seem to get inspired by the items that are already hanging in my closet. I seem to be adding new items, only to wait weeks before they actually get worn. A responsible adult this does not make, nor a responsible blogger, especially one that prides herself on not only her remixing abilities but her budget conscious blog!? So expect a 30 for 30 remix challenge here on the blog a la Kendi Everyday real soon. Jill recently tweeted that she will be doing the same, so make sure to keep up with your progress too. August 1st, are you down?
