I decided to challenge myself a bit with this remix by choosing a dress that was less flexible than my usual pieces to remix. This is my Triptych dress which I bought at The Olive Shoppe and already wore earlier this week (I kinda want to wear it every day...). With a bit of imagination I managed to transform it; I even wore it backwards which makes the zipper detail take center stage and should make exiting a room pretty fun!
details: We Love Colors tights, Seychelles heels
details: secondhand leather skirt, Cynthia Rowley tights via Gilt, Seychelles booties
details: worn backwards, vintage feather fascinator, UO wedges
details: DIY bubble hem with safety pins, H&M leggings and wedges
details: Modcloth blouse, Miss Sixty heels via Gilt
P.S. I entered this remix in a contest on Chictopia. If you like it please give it a chic vote or add it as your favorite there. Thank you!
Welcome to my little blog that blends a bit of nature, fashion, wanderings, and books in this dusty corner of the Internet. I hope you find it a moment of quiet in the wild today.
Rebecca I'm pretty sure you're the cleverest fashion blogger ever... i want to remix like you! in awe!!

the way you dress is so inspiring!!
ReplyDeletecan't believe you've actually been in Greece!
greetings from greece!
Loving the remixing!
ReplyDeleteLove how you have styled this!! as soon as i saw the first two pics i was like she should enter the teen vogue comp! will def vote for you :) hoping to enter myself, ive always loved your remixes. :) x
ReplyDeleteI agree with Marianna. Your remixing is so inspiring, and also really, really, really tough to do...
ReplyDeleteI think it's just the creative way your brain works, which tells me you will definitely be a good lawyer, if you decide to go that route. You always know how to think around a given situation or shape, see its possibilities and know how to make other outcomes. That's something most people don't naturally do. It makes you more versatile as a person and as a thinker.
I admire that about you.
The dress worn backwards is definitely my favourite look, because it's edgy with the exposed zipper, which can go low, low, low, and then there's a ferocious surprise in the back!
I also like the bubble hem! Hello, legs!
XX.
Mae Lu, thereafterish.
who would have thought that piece could be so versatile! it looks great backwards too.
ReplyDeleteYOu are a remix pro. Will absolutely vote on chictopia - if anyone deserves to show of their remixing skills in Teen Vogue it's you!
ReplyDeleteWow! You did a great job with this! I admit, I was a tad bit skeptical, (I mean, there's a huge tiger on this dress), but you really pulled it off in a tremendous way. Ok, I'm a fan, you get my vote!

I especially love the bubble hem and the backwards worn styles. So amazing. :)
ReplyDeleteYou seriously find the best stuff! I love each and every way that you have worn it.
ReplyDeleteThe first one's my favourite, I think it's because I'm more than partial to the red tights with the gold heels! I've admired your remixes for years, and think that next week I might just have to have a go myself :D
ReplyDeletei LOVE the DIY bubble hem look! i thought it was a totally different skirt. great work, rebecca!

I absolutely LOVE your remixes, everything looks so different and fresh despite it being the same dress.
ReplyDeleteAnd none of them look like they were DIY, they all look like the dress was MEANT to be worn that way!

ReplyDeleteLove the remix!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I was wondering how you do the DIY bubble hem!
I actually thought it was a different skirt until I saw what you wrote.
Love Love Love!! I am always so impressed with remixes and have just started playing with the concept (although not nearly as successfully as this!) myself. Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeletehah, that dress is surprisingly so versatile!! and considering it's a huge roaring tiger, I'm so surprised that I like it!! but its so cool! :D
ReplyDeleteI want your clothes!
ReplyDeleteLove all of it! I never thought of wearing the dress backwards; you are too cute! The dress is perfect on you, so glad it wound up in your hands :)
ReplyDeleteLove the backwards and bubble hem!
ReplyDeleteSo creative :)
That is such a great idea to bustle the dress up!
ReplyDeleteHow creative! That's a great dress--- didn't think it could be worn so many different ways!
ReplyDeleteHi. I consider you as a friend in my heart. I would like to share that I just lost my boyfriend of 8 years. And I'd like to remind everyone to love every chance you get. Being loved by the person you love most is the most beautiful thing in the world. Life is short. Live it up. Spread the love!
