Pinspiration + remix to the max

Left: Jacqueline from Stylin in St. Louis

I think I've mentioned before that I'm the member of a style and beauty forum. Best group of girls ever, aside from you all, of course! We post our OOTD photos every day, and on Tuesdays, we do Pinspired outfits. Well, I have randomly committed myself to wearing sequins or glitter every day this week in preparation for my week off for Christmas, so I was trying to find some Pinspiration that included sequins, but I was at a loss. Then, at about 11pm last night, I read Jacqueline's blog post, and instantly fell in love with her outfit! I ran to my closet room, tried on a couple of plaid shirts with a couple of dot skirts, and voila! This is my pinterpretation!



Earrings: Stella & Dot | Plaid shirt: Rugby (option) | Tank: JCrew | Skirt: JCrew Factory (option) | Bag: Michael Kors (option) | Tights: DKNY (in grey) | Wedges: Franco Sarto (option)

I've been accused before of not repeating outfits. Or people will say "I've never seen you wear *that* before!" I do admit to trying not to repeat an outfit in its entirety unless I can't remember the last time I wore it, or only if it's a completely different audience. But otherwise I really just like to remix as much as possible. Reading and writing about remixing is probably my favorite thing about blogging. I love proving the versatility of something, and I also love pushing my creativity, so to speak. I admit whole heartedly that I stole Jacqueline's look today, but I thought it would be fun to break down this outfit and point you to other ways I have worn these pieces.

Also - awhile ago I did a remix post just on this plaid shirt alone - read it here. It's seriously the most perfect starting point for so many outfits. Next to my chambray, I easily reach for this top the most.

    1. Yay! I'm so happy you appreciate it! Because as I was doing it I thought, why am I putting myself thru this?! It didn't take *that* long, but probably better for a weekend post, not an after work weeknight post! But yes, happy to tell you how I did it!

  3. Okay first of all, that graphic is amazing! I can't even imagine how much work that would take!! Also, love your interpretation of this outfit! All I need is a sequin tank and I could copy it too. Add that to my shopping list!!

  4. I love to recreate outfits I find on pinterest. In fact, I have a post sitting in my draft. You nailed it. I can't believe you had the same sequin top. How cool is that?!
