Kristen outfits: Dress Remix Challenge

I gave myself a challenge last week, to remix a different dress every day, and then include photos of all the various ways I have worn it before. It was a very big hit on the blog, and I have to admit, a lot of fun to look back at previous outfits. In some cases I learned I was very creative with certain dresses, and others where I let the colors of the dress rule my choices.

Monday: my brown, purple and gold circle-pattern Connexions dress from Marshalls. I paired with a short-sleeve sweater and a purple turtleneck. I don't know why I love this dress as much as I do, but I do. I always feel fun and perky in it!

Tuesday: my favorite new black BR Outlet sweaterdress, with the Hamburglar turtleneck. I think I like it better with the rhubarb turtleneck. Also, my hair was a fright; I went for a trim on Sunday and it is much better now!

Wednesday: I have loved this Kohls dress ever since I bought it this summer. The blues just make me so happy.

Thursday: Undoubtedly my best day. I started off with my Loft lantern-sleeved LBD, but then I added a Target moto (YES! You people are enablers; I got one in black), which I LOVE. The final touch was a pink beribboned skull cap for my co-worker fighting breast cancer; I was gangsta business casual! LOL!

Friday: my beloved AT aubergine sheath, this time with my purple boyfriend cardigan and mustard Target scarf. This one was the most fun to look back at previous wearings; that little sheath is pretty darned versatile!

Sunday: I was having such a good time with the challenge I did one more over the weekend. My Michael Kors brown, mustard and purple dress, this time with fun brown gold-swirled tights and a purple scarf. This one showed off my predictable choices, lots of browns and mustards. Good thing I like those colors!

This was a really fun challenge. I am going to do something like it again soon!

Kristen: I love looking at your outfits, and the remix photos are such an inspiration. Makes me want to go buy more dresses. I can't wait to see what you have in store for spring and summer.

I agree with everyone - you really outdid yourself on the challenge! You have definitely encouraged me to try this on my blog! Fabulous dresses!!!

Wow, Kristen! I think you should get a YLF award for most creative! I love all the different ways that you have styled your frocks. I agree with the others, you outdid yourself with this challenge.

How nice to see the dashing George!

Love all your dresses. You rock this challenge!

Thanks all! It was a blast re-looking at all my dresses and seeing what new ways they could be worn, and even more fun to look back and see what I've done in the past. I feel like my style continues to evolve, and seeing a series of photos of the same dress proves my point.

On another note, I am really loving being in a true business casual office because it's allowing me to go a little funkier; I would NEVER have worn the moto with a dress in my old office, but here it was a huge hit. That makes me so happy, to be able to tiptoe into the edgier things Angie has been encouraging us all to try.

Hurray for your new office and the many dressing and career opportunities it's opening up for you

WOW, Kristen. You just scored KILLER for every new outfit and the challenge. Very, very fab.

And the moto jacket with dress outfit scores KILLER to the power of KILLER. I have to recover even more now - Sheeesh! As if NY fashion week wasn't enough! (Thanks for your awfully kind comment on today's post also. I was very touched).

Oooh, I just came back today and saw this. WOW, thank you, Angie! I do love that moto and am looking forward to finding more ways to wear it.

As a sidenote, I apologize for not posting on the blog more often. I read it everyday but usually in the evening when I get home. By that time everyone has already replied with everything I would have said! But I do learn so much from your blog, as well as from the forum.

thank you so much for posting this! It is amazing how many great outfits you have come up with. So inspiring!!! Can't wait to try more dresses!

I LOVED seeing these posts on your blog. You really have a way with mixing, matching, and layering!

Kristen, I had never thought of layering dresses both inside and out. I love what you have done. Where do you buy your turtlenecks and are you happy with them?
