Mix Tape


You may recognize most of my outfit - I wore the printed top last week, the leather jacket on Tuesday and the chambray top on Wednesday. Some fashionistas say they never wear the same thing twice (which leads me to envision a fabulously dressed woman in a shack, sadly eating ramen), but I'm wearing these items today because you can wear the same thing twice, thrice, as many times as you like! Try styling your favorite garments a little differently and see how many outfits you can come up with! Button down tops are perfect for layering (I'm wearing two here), and they give this dress (which you have also seen me wear) the edge - and the warmth - needed for fall. Which pieces do you restyle over and over?


Dress: Modcloth
Blouse: Modcloth
Chambray Shirt: Target
Leather Jacket: DKNY
Shoes: BCBG
Sunglasses: Tilly's

  1. This is such a hard look to pull off, that is to wear different lengths and layers at that and make them an interesting tableau. Half the time, I don't wear my jackets with dresses because the length isn't right. I've just learned that it CAN work, but that I need to layer. This is such a great look! I luuuuuve it.

    The mixed tape title is so funny. I can't believe you can wear so many layers and still look so petite!

  5. This is probably an overshare, but my therapist always says that I shouldn't be jealous of women who have new outfits everyday, because it takes more creativity and style to create new, unique outfits out of the same old stuff. She might just be saying that so i can afford to keep seeing her, but it makes me feel better about my tiny bank account and closet, so...

  7. I adore the fact that you've layered multiple shirts! It's so cute. I'm addicted to layering. I also champion wearing something more than once.

  13. LOVE the shoes, orange dress, leather jacket. You look fierce!!!!!! and although I secretly wish I wasn't too smart to eat ramen, I believe in wearing the same pieces in different ways. I have a closet full of clothing and wear the same 5 or 6 pieces anyway, because I love them and they look good on me!

    Hope to see you soon!

  17. You're adorable! I kind of suck at restyling pieces. I end up wearing the same pieces together week after week. I think you need to give me lessons.

    Definitely love layering pieces to make more outfits. I love the bright red shade of your dress, it looks great with that jean jacket.

  19. I'm definitely not one of those ladies who can afford to never wear the same thing twice. Even if I had the money to do that I don't think I would... I have too many beloved pieces that I love to wear over and over again!

    I love the layering you did here. I'm jealouse of your fall weather!
