Perfect 10


The wonderful, fabulous Callie, of Coffee and Cardigans, is hosting a blogging challenge, called The Perfect 10.  As part of this challenge, I and various other bloggers are going to cornrow our hair and run along the beach a la Bo Derek; and we’ll be video-taping the whole thing!

Okay, not really.  No, in actuality, the Perfect 10 Remix is far more sensible and far more safe for work that that.  Instead, for the next 10 days, we’re limiting our wardrobe to 10 items, remixing the heck out of those 10 items and sharing the results with our readers.

I don’t usually do challenges like this because a) I tend to get bored easily,  b) I don’t like anyone telling me what to wear, including me and c) I never know what to choose!!  Still, I will (reluctantly) admit that I need to challenge myself more, so I’m in.  Yay, me!

Here are my 10 items:


My perfect ten includes two skirts; one black and one striped: 



Three shirts; a striped tee, a navy tee and a sleeveless chambray:



One dress, in white, because that Labor Day thing is no longer a thing, right? 



Two pairs of shoes; brown huaraches and yellow platforms:



And one wildcard piece; a floral printed cropped jacket:


I’m actually kind of surprised by the pieces I chose – I figured I’d have more color or more prints or more colorful prints but I think this mix will work.  At least I hope it will.  I also hope that two pairs of shoes are enough; I’m kind of skeptical on that point, but shall do my best. 

For more on the Perfect 10 Remix, please see Callie’s post here.  

And stay tuned!

Spring Remix

I wore this outfit earlier this year:



Today I remixed the look for spring:




I kept most of the pieces of the look intact, including the cropped pants (Vince Camuto via Nordstrom), the cap toe wedges (Bandolino via DSW) and the vintage coat (Maurice of Lansing via Goodwill).  But, instead of the turtleneck, I wore my new red, black and white graphic floral dress (Penelope in Red Rosie c/o Karina Dresses).

I love this dress.  Like my other Karina Dress, it's cut beautifully and the print makes me giddy:


I can't wait to remix it again for summer.

Happy Tuesday, All!
