One striped skirt, ten outfits

I don't follow any rules when I go shopping, usually I forget to come up with 4 different outfits in my head before I buy something. Most of the times if I like it, it fits and it's affordable I buy it. When I bought this striped skirt I didn't know how easy it would be to remix it. Here are 10 different outfits I came up with, I love every single combination. Is there anything in your wardrobe that you love to remix? How about a challenge?
Note: I'm on vacation during the summer, otherwise I would not have all this time to kill, but it was really fun to create so many outfits with one skirt!

Very cute and very smart, Shey!
I tend to wear the same cardigans with everything!

Of course my remixing loving heart would totally dig this post. So many possibilities! Great job.

I love to remix clothing within my wardrobe but I don't think that I've come up with 10 different variations for one outfit. That's impressive!

Lisa said...

Cute skirt! I like it best paired with the pink/melon sweater, but they are all adorable!

What kind of remix challenge did you have in mind? Guidelines? I have not yet participated in blogger remix challenge and I'm itching to do so, but I need to take baby steps!

CC said...

I love them all, but I think the pink and pearls look is my fave! ;)

Bernadine said...

I love the different combinations you were able to come up with. I'm a teacher also so hopefully visiting your blog will spark some creative wardrobe ideas for when I go back to work:)

Shey said...

Thank you ladies!
Lisa how about remixing one item in as many outfits you can come up with. =) I'm so bad at challenges myself but it's always fun to find all the possibilities of one garment!

wow, amazing job remixing that skirt!
it is definitely hard to pick a fave -- maybe the crochet top with the brown belt?
or the denim jacket and boat shoes?
Chic on the Cheap

All of the outfits are super! There is something to be said about a piece of clothing that is easy to mix & match. Those types of clothes do wonders to any wardrobe. Your skirt is wonderful. It has character, but there is also certain simplicity to it. And it is so "you"!

Lesley Jean said...

Every look is beautiful! :) I love how you accessorize!

Chandra MoMoMod said...

Hi, Sheeeyyyyyy!! I can't decide which look I love best! I can find something that I like about each outfit. I'm glad you had some time on your hands--I liked seeing the 10 outfits! Thanks!

This skirt is so fab! I've been looking for something like this for ages. Loving the styling, especially the one with white cardi/jacket. x

I love them all! i need a striped skirt like this now! thanks for the inspiration. i tend to find one or two winning combinations for a skirt and then stick with those - i don't know if i have anything i wear ten different ways. you've inspired me not to grab the same pairings.

Natalie Garza said...

Not going to lie; I just checked and all they have left are x-smalls and smalls. If they still had an XXL, I would totally buy it based on seeing all these outfits!

Lagelle said...

That vintage crochet top is pretty amazing!
