Welcome to this week's installment of the Head to Toe Remix, in which Priya of Perfectly Priya and I attempt to remix neglected items in our closets - started from the head down. Last week we tackled accessories, which brings to the next item down: outerwear. I immediately regretted agreeing to this when I realized how hot it would be. I have plenty of cardigans and jackets that I would love to build an outfit around, but in 90 degree heat? Not so much. Fortunately, I remembered my most neglected item of all in my closet - this Old Navy utility vest. If there's one item that I consistently go back and forth with myself about whether or not I should get rid of it, it's this vest. It doesn't really match the rest of my wardrobe, yet I still love it. Given my collection of white and cream dresses, this challenge made me see that I actually do have quite a bit of items that I can pair it with. I could have easily swapped out any number of dresses, and I still would have been happy with the result. I finally settled on this cream pleated one and pink sandals to give a fairly masculine item the feminine edge I so crave. I'm also glad to learn that it works as a perfect canvas for my ever-growing collection of pins.
Priya, of course, looks incredible from, well, head to toe. A leather jacket was such a great idea given that you really can never go wrong with remixing it. I never would have thought to pair it with a skirt like this, but I am slightly obsessed with this skirt in particular and the results. Priya, of course, totally knows what she's doing.
