Fall Twist

Happy Monday and Happy Veteran's Day!  Thank you to all who have served and to those who are currently serving to make the United States a safe place to live and to pursue happiness.

It's that time of the week again!  Time for another Remix, Rewear, Restyle challenge at Greater Than Rubies.  This week we are featuring a fall twist on a favorite summer look!

I originally purchased this navy, eyelet dress last spring for my sister's bridal shower.  A few months later it was a cute and easy dress to throw-on when the temperatures rose.  The navy color and the structure of the dress made for a good basic layer.  However the eyelet hem and the texture of the dress added some interest.



Here is a typical way in which I wore the dress this summer.  It was way too hot to add a scarf or cardigan.  However, a leopard print belt added pizzazz and worked nicely with my comfy cognac sandals.


I think that the remixing possibilities of this dress are vast but here is one way that it works for cooler weather.  Grey is a favorite neutral of mine and a grey tights and boot combination is comfortable and warm.  A striped cardigan and a chunky yellow scarf add more details and extra protection against the chill!

    1. Thanks! What's funny is that until this challenge, it didn't occur to me to try to wear it during the cooler months :)

  2. I love layers, and these look great! The gray with the navy and a touch of pale yellow is perfect. Don't you love making a pieces work all year round? :)

    1. Thank you! It is really fun when I find something that works all year. It's almost like having an entirely new item of clothing when I remix it!

    1. Thank you! These might just be my favorite boots of all time. They are my second pair of faux-suede grey boots. I totally destroyed my first pair!

  4. So cute! That boot/tights combo matches perfectly and works great with the dress. Great shade of grey, too. My grey tights are so dark I always wonder if people can tell they're grey and not black.

    1. For awhile I was really struggling to find light grey tights! These are the lightest I could come up with! They are from Anthro and I would recommend them. The top doesn't roll down at all :)

  6. Very cute! The yellow and blue together looks fabulous. I love layering scarves over dresses. I have about a million scarves in every color, and I wear them year round.

    1. Me too! I always feel like it's too easy to just add a scarf...but it is such a great way to pull an outfit together!
