Monday: Dress Remix Week Begins!

I've been so focused on integrating all the great pants and blazers I inherited from Shopping Friend that I have been neglecting my dresses. This is a tragedy of epic proportions; I love my dresses! To remedy this error, I am declaring this week to be Dress Remix Week. I will take a frequently-worn dress and put it together in a new combination every day, and at the end of the week I will host a poll so everyone can vote on the best remix. (Ooooh, I just made that part up. Hope I can be creative enough with this!)

ETA: Let me clarify: each day I will be remixing a different dress. I can't wear the same dress for 5 days; I have a reputation as the office fashionista to uphold! :)

My beloved Connexions dress from Marshalls. I stuck with the brown-purple-gold combo I tend to wear with this, but I flipped the colors so the turtleneck was purple and the sweater -- a short-sleeved Loft cardi I haven't worn since the summer -- was on top. I went all brown on the bottom too: brown plaid Vera Wang tights from Kohls, and brown suede chunky heeled oxfords from BCBG Girls.

Other ways I have worn this dress since I bought it in September:

Now I need to find a dress to wear with my plum patent waterproof La Canadienne boots; we've got snow on the ground, and more to come all day today. A dress is fine, but good boots are required.

    You look GREAT! I don't know where you started out, weight-wise, but you look awesome now. Love the dress; I'm a huge purple/plum fan! :)

  6. Really great remix. I'm glad you saw all the other ways you've worn this dress. I would never have guessed you'd get so many looks from this print dress - all are fabulous.

  7. Oh thanks for posting this. I feel like I am gleaning from you, although I don't have all the pieces to work with as you do.

    Wish I had a 'shopping friend'!! (to bestow their goodies upon me). Chrissy
