How I wore it first:
You Put the Happy in My Ness

I particularly love this remix. I changed almost nothing about the core elements of the outfit: same shirt, same skirt, same shoes. But I changed and added a few different accessories that I think gave the whole thing a totally new feeling. I was particularly inspired by Franca's wonderful idea to create a capsule wardrobe from three central colors, and I loved the navy/orange/white combination, so I knew I wanted to add this mustard cardigan to the mix today. I added the Scarab Necklace (one of my personal faves) to compliment the navy shirt and add some more interesting colors. Finally, I swapped the narrower belt from the first outfit for this chunkier, braided, "statement" belt. As it turns out, I really love the result!
