Dress, I Heart Ronson. Shirt, American Eagle (thrifted). Shoes, Charles David. Sunglasses, Target. Earrings, self-made. Bracelets, Charming Charlie and gift. Bag, Disney.
Some of these thirty-six previous outfits make me cringe, but others make my heart go pitter-patter, so I guess I’m not done remixing this dress, yet.
Besides finding inspiration for future outfits, I enjoy reflecting on the good old days:
- Remember when belting the tails of your scarf was a micro-trend?
- I often wore this dress to my hair appointments. You can figure out which outfits those were by the good hair (styled by my old Cincinnati stylist, Heather).
- People used to make fun of my turtlenecks – but they are trending now, suckahs!
- This dress is a natural for my Red Hat Society experiments. In fact, I’ve got the idea for another Red Hat outfit.
- This dress is also a natural for cuh-razy pattern mixing!
- Only once have I thought it a good idea to take my travel outfit pictures in a mirror. After that trip, I always bring the DSLR, a tripod, and a remote.
- I’ve owned it long enough to go from short blond hair to long red hair to short brown-ish hair.
- It’s been to Cincinnati, Orlando, Minneapolis, Kansas City, San Francisco and Sacramento.
With this much history, how could I let it go?
it would be fun to know, from your own perspective, which outfits fall into the "cringe" bucket and which still set your heart afire. :)
ReplyDeleteI was also wondering your top three cringe-worthy and your top three all-stars.
ReplyDeleteI think the dress is gorgeous and the colors are always becoming of you.
I really like outfits 6 (olive jacket and scarf), 26 (black and white buffalo check tunic underneath), 29 (mural in the background) and 34 (leopard shirt and coral bag).
ReplyDeleteI'm not crazy about 7 (plum shirt on top), 11 (striped jacket and yellow bag), and 24 (green sweater and leopard obi).
Glad you kept it.
ReplyDeleteI think it's got at least 20 more wears.
This is really evidence of your TRUE style; the ability to constantly change the look of this dress! Kudos to you~xoxo
ReplyDeleteThe best thing about this dress is how flexible you've made it. You listed your favorite iterations, and I don't think any of those are in my top 5. (I like #2 (old deck), #10 (sunroom), #19 (hotel bathroom?), #27 (Spring Grove), and #36 (Green sleeveless).
ReplyDeleteThe fact that there's such a diversity that everyone can have their own favorites shows how great a dress it is. (and of course your skill at styling it).
No not that dress! When I first saw the dress here (maybe four years ago?) I fell in love and tracked it down then bought it for myself. I had read your blog for a while the but it was the first time I ever did that. I thought I was such hot stuff because I bought the same dress as you, maybe I'm selfish but it would break my heart to see it go!
