Remix Update: Outfits 2-4

I’ve hit the ground running with my “40 for 40” clothing remix. In this post, I have included my outfits from Thursday, Friday and Saturday of this past weekend. I originally picked 7 dresses as part of my 40 pieces of clothing. Then I realized that I needed to pick more separates when doing a remix so that there are more choices. There isn’t much you can do with a dress, except add a layering piece and different shoes. So I pared my choices down to just 3 dresses of different lengths, including this maxi-dress.

Outfit: Charlotte Russe maxi-dress; Cotton On cardigan; Unknown brand belt; Steve Madden Luxe boots; American Apparel leather pouch; Burberry sunglasses

My Jeffrey Campbell “Lita” platform booties came in last week! We had a “Mad Fashion Friday” at work, so I decided to go 70’s crazy with my outfit, and those shoes were perfect. My mom has fantastic coats that she brought back with her from the Philippines back in the late 60’s, but sadly gave some away. I rescued this awesome furry coat, which completed the whole look. I did bring an extra sweater because I just couldn’t wear the furry coat all day in the sunny San Diego weather.

(Note: I’m glad that outerwear is not included in the remix rules. It makes remixing a whole lot easier!)

Outfit: Old Navy shirt and jeans; Jeffrey Campbell shoes; Panama Jack hat with an H&M flower hair clip/pin; For Joseph necklace; Juicy Couture sunglasses;Vintage faux fur coat from my mom

Since it’s been so hot lately in San Diego, I had to incorporate a pair of shorts into the clothing remix. I didn’t want add more than one pair of shorts because I would lose the ability to create more outfits for work. So here is the one pair for my remix, which will mostly be worn on the weekends. It’s not my most favorite look, but it worked out well for the sunny day out on Saturday and our trip to the fantastic local San Diego Philly cheese steak eatery called McGonagle’s. My husband had the authentic cheese steak sandwich. Dominic and I had the cheese steak fries. If you’re in San Diego and want a little taste of Philly, I highly suggest McGonagle’s.
