That’s what I asked myself as I pulled this outfit together:
I think it will be pretty awesome. I love mixing unexpected patterns, and this oddly spotted top paired with a vintage plaid wraparound skirt is an unlikely duo. I usually wear a plain, solid colored top with this skirt: cream, black, or brown usually, since I don’t have a solid maroon top. But this black-cream-maroon-and-pink knit v-neck tones really well, and the proportions ought to work well. Not shown are the black flat mary-janes or the necklace that I’ll wear (probably one made of tiny opalescent seed beads that shine in green, purple, and bronze).
Okay, it’s these shoes, but with better socks and less LOLSPEEK.
I guess this counts as Wardrobe Remix, though I can’t post this to the pool since I am not modeling it and all. But I did do something different with clothes I already own. In the case of the skirt, clothes I have owned for a really long time. I think I bought that skirt in 2000 or 2001, not long after I moved to Kansas City & needed grownup clothes for my first office job. I need to make more use of this skirt. Its got this nerdy librarian vibe that has always made me happy. I have another from the same shopping trip, slightly earlier era, that is also currently underutilized in my working wardrobe. I’ll be remedying that shortly:
Could that skirt hardly be any nerdier? Or plaidier?
