Dress Happy! // Remixing Challenge

First: Have you entered my very first giveaway??! It's up for a few more hours so enter, here. :)

My cardigan splurge is still working out well. I really really don't like spending so much on a single item, but in this case I am still wearing it a lot and feeling like it is continuing to make new outfits. :) And of course it goes with my pink pants... 

Embroidered Cardigan: Nick & Mo, Local Boutique $85

Pink Jeans: JCP, $15 Christmas Money + A Sale

Navy Flats: Payless, $15 (with BOGO!) (buy here)

Vintage Cocktail Ring: Salvation Army, $3! - I think this one is my favorite!

Outfit Total: $118

 See the ring?!?!

I was reading an idea that you should 'dress happy' which seems kind of silly, but when you're excited about your sweater the world can seem brighter, so why not?

Check out my previous Remix outfits & non-remix outfits here.

I'm also super pumped about our DIY Gallery Wall behind me... :) Post coming soon! 

XOXO,

A Bright New World // Remixing Challenge

You may have seen my first remix challenge post here. Well, here is another outfit. This one contains shirt that I have had for a long time.. and used to wear all the time. Recently not at all, but this remix has me wearing it in completely new ways, which is so terrific!

Have to say, I'm still doing well on that whole color goal for the year.

Cardigan: TJMaxx, $16. -Clearance

Floral Top: TJMaxx, $20 (or less, I have no idea) - Old

Skinnies: TJMaxx, $16.

Flats: Target, $21.

Bangle Bracelet: Local Artist, gift.

Earrings: Renaissance Festival $32

Total: $105

I am so so pleased with this cardigan. The color is really nice, almost a coral-y pink... and the fit is great. It goes with a surprising number of things! This remixing challenge has really helped me blend the old with the new! How cool is this bracelet?!? It's made out of recycled cardboard tubes and then given a texture and pattern! I just love the yellow color!

And it coordinates well with the yellow tones in the flowers on the shirt!

These rosebud earrings are a souvenir from the first year that KC and I went to the Renaissance festival. They are real rosebuds that have been preserved and turned into jewelry! I love the color and have found that they look so nice with dressy and casual outfits. Such a pretty investment!

Do you have any old favorite pieces that you want to find a new way to wear? 

Have you ever bought anything that you didn't expect to wear so much?

Have you ever had a successful remix challenge?

Thanks for Reading!
