Same/Different

Marco was taking  a nice, long nap the other day and it occurred to me to play a little dress-up during the quiet time! I wanted to show how I recycle items to create several different looks, simply by changing accessories and shoes.

So, these are 4 variations using 2 base items: 1 grey plaid skirt purchased at Nordstrom in September 2007 and 1 grey boyfriend tee-shirt purchased at Target several months ago. Ignore the camera remote in my hand; I was by myself!

Brown suede peep toe heels: Christian Louboutin ‘Very Prive’ (purchased 2008)
Tan trench coat: Forever21 (purchased 2007)
Necklace: Forever21 (purchased 2008)

Cable knit sweaterwith faux fur hood: Forever21 (purchased 2008)
Purple knee-socks: Target
Brown faux-leather boots, purchased in Venice, Italy (2008)

Might as well JUMP!
Grey emblem sweater: Forever21 (purchased 2008)
Brown faux suede loafer wedges: Payless (purchased 2009)
Purple knee-socks: Target

And finally, the lazy way I will most likely wear this skirt, in lieu of the more fashionable ways I listed:

Green military-style jacket: Forever21
Black slip-on Converse: Zappos.com

    I am so inspired by your creativity and ability to change up the same outfit to fit many looks! I am such a “one trick pony” when it comes to clothes. I have the insane idea that any outfit I put together should only be worn in that combination-forever! I get uneasy when I try to take an outfit apart and wear it separately haha I hope this will motivate me to move past those anxieties and get creative in my closet!
