It has been quite some time since my last Fall Capsule Wardrobe Remix post but I haven't given-up! In fact, I'm still going strong and have lots of fun ideas for remixing my 20 pieces of clothing into 30 different fall-friendly outfits! Make sure you head over to Caitlin's blog, Greater Than Rubies, to check-out remixes created by some other fabulous, fashionable ladies!
In remixing my 20 pieces, it was easiest for me to pick one item (like my MSU sweatshirt in this post) and to create a bunch of different outfits around that one piece of clothing. For this post, I decided to focus on a dress that I bought from Dressbarn. Now, Dressbarn is my hidden gem for cute, affordable clothes. Admittedly, lots of things there aren't really my style, but if I spend a little time looking, I usually find something wonderful...like this dress!
I love this outfit so much, that I've worn it twice already this fall! It is perfect for comfy weekend outings as well as for work! I love these green tights but sometimes feel unsure about what to wear them with...particularly when it comes to shoes. I think they work with the cognac moccasins. What do you think? What shoes do you usually wear with colored tights (I'm really looking for advice here)?
I've noticed that booties and tassel necklaces are pretty trendy this fall. Adding a couple of fun accessories can really spice-up a simple dress! I can very easily add tights and a cardigan or blazer to this creation when the weather turns chillier! Do you think my green tights will work here, too?
The dress code at the high school where I teach is professional yet relatively casual. Any of the outfits in this post are dress code appropriate for me. This one is even a little more professional than I usually dress, but is perfect for the days when I want to step-up my game a little bit!
I love that when I wear differently colored accessories, different colors in the dress pop! It makes me feel like I'm wearing a totally new dress! Multi-colored dresses lend themselves to so many different remixing possibilities.
This last dress ensemble is perfect for a chilly, sleepy weekday morning when all I want to do is crawl back into bed...but I have to go to work! Muted accessories and a chunky cardigan just scream comfort to me. This outfit plus a cup of coffee and I'm ready to go!
Take a peek at my other Fall Capsule Wardrobe posts and stay tuned for the rest of my autumn remixes!

Cute outfits, Whitney! As for your colorful tights + footwear question...I LOVE wearing colorful tights in the colder weather. When I was first getting used to wearing colored tights, I would wear them with a very neutral outfit (like a solid black sweater dress with bright blue tights) and then a pair of boots. That way, the color isn't too overwhelming on my legs. However, I also really like the look of colorful tights with ballet flats and oxfords as well. I just got my first pair of ankle boots, so I'm hoping my colorful tights will look good with them as well!!
ReplyDeleteOhh, great suggestions! A quick question about ballet flats with colored tights...do you wear similar colored flats with your tights or stick with neutrals?
DeleteThese are all so cute, and I love your new home page picture too!
