On our journey to create a remixable wardrobe, occasionally I thought I’d share one item of clothing, and how it can be “remixed” six different ways to make it appropriate for different seasons and occasions. I know, for me, it is always helpful to have “visual aids” when I’m getting my mind around a new concept. 
A simple, sleeveless dress. Absolutely a wardrobe essential. Choose the color, cut, style, and length that is you, but keep it solid, and fairly simple in design for maximum versatility.
Style #1: -Summer Sundress- The only accessories are white sandals, a straw hat, and a large shell necklace. An easy throw-and-go outfit.
Style #2: -Wedding/Party Wrap-Up- Using a delicate lace infinity scarf as an asymmetrical wrap, and adding large earrings, and leopard print shoes dresses up the style, and adds some fun!
Style #3: -The Jumper- Jumpers are not just for 65 year old 2nd grade teachers! 
Use your trusty button up shirt (that we talked about two weeks ago) underneath your dress, add a wide belt, hose, patent leather heels, a sparkly necklace, and nerd glasses, and you’re ready for class!
Style #4: -Workwear- Make your dress perfect for the office with a cardigan over top, and a light dressy scarf. Black tights and booties, with a multi-chain necklace, round out the accessories.
Style #5: -Au Casual- Dress it down using a grandpa-style cardi, belted around the outside; a fun scarf will keep you warm in winter, along with some footless tights or leggings. Comfy moccasins lend a relaxed air to the whole ensemble.
Style #6: -Skirting Around- Who would know this was a dress? When you add a nice cozy sweater over top, a fat scarf, winter tights and boots to this number, viola! It transforms into a skirt!
So was this lesson in remixing helpful? Would you like to see more of it here on le blog? Are you inspired to go remix an item in your own wardrobe?

I love this! I am a visual learner, so I love how you did this post. Beautiful, as always!
Thanks girl! I’m so glad you enjoyed it
Absolutely loved this! You should definitely do more of these
Also…I love the new layout and design of your blog…classy, elegant and simple =)
Thank you Katie! You’re so sweet
I’m glad you enjoyed it…I look forward to sharing more remixes!
Love all these looks! No. 4 is probably my favorite — I’m a scarf and cardigan kind of gal.
It is fun to switch things up, and I’ve been investing in better-quality and more versatile pieces as I get older. It’s fun to remix the items you know and love — and spice them up by styling them with different accessories!
This year I’ve become a diehard scarf and cardi girl too!
You’re so right…accessories are the spice of life!
That’s the honeycomb sweater from J.Crew last year, right? Cause I have it, too. I love the idea of camouflaging a dress as a skirt. Must. try. soon.
Heehee
Yep! That’s the one!
My fav is #5.
Why, thank you
I think it’s my fav. too!
I love this post! Those images all in a row up top are fantastic. I always get stuck in the cardigan over the top rut, I’m inspired to try some new looks
