My wardrobe may not be the size of one of the great pyramids and certainly costs a lot less than those celebrities that never repeat a dress, but I'd like to think a closet is as big as the owner's imagination. If that is the case then my wardrobe can definitely fit Narnia and the missing link...This newish teal dress of mine is from H&M.
belt- secondhand, shoes- H&M
headband- vintage, vest- gift, shoes- some shop in Japan
skirt- secondhand, shoes- Dr. Scholls
beret- secondhand, belt- from another dress, tights- Betsey Johnson via Modcloth, shoes- Urban Outfitters
fascinator- vintage, tights- Target, shoes- Nine West
vest- H&M, shoes- Nine West

love what you said, the size is definitely as big as the owner's imagination. right at this moment i'm resisting splurging in the topshop sale being my wardrobe is too big for my imagination!! i keep forgetting things i own, it's shameful
the dress is very pretty! i think it looks best here with the red tights, very simple and pretty
I love the way you remixed that dress in so many different ways! I know you do this a lot, but seeing it all in one post was a bit of a revelation. I like it! (And are those shoes really Dr. Scholl's? They're hot!)
Ouh I love all those combinations I'm trying to pick my fav. but I can't I think I'll have to say 3-4-5 are the best.
My wardrobe is definitely to big for my imagination but I still splurge all the time it's terrible (although I mainly buy shoes so is it really that bad?)

I agree with you, for wardrobe it's about being creative and with life i think we have limitless potential. we have the capacity to push ourselves just a little further and harder to reach the next step.
Lovely dress versions. It has many faces...LOL!
XoXo
i love the one with thepolka dot tights and the one right after with the green headband :)
lucky you know how to make the mst of your wardrobe, ihave a massive quantity but instead of trying to mix it up i pair things all thesame way and then jsut buy more stuff :(
wow you are very talented and good in changing up an outfit while still using the same dress :o
impressive

Great dress, I love the color. Might have to nip over to H&M and check out what other dresses they have. I am in need of a few summer dresses to wear.
You, and your photos inspire me! I hope to some day be able to mix and match and layer as well as you do!
Love all these outfit mixes! Especially the yellow skirt, the one right under that, and the one under that, lol. They all look great!
I love all of these combonations!
Inspirational post!
I think the "librarian" look (last pic) is my favourite, though maybe as a glasses-wearer I am slightly biased... The dress is beautiful, just the right amount of both casual and pretty.
lovely as always.

great outfits fromthis dress as always
I love your dress (:
Creative and fun! You have great accessories. I may be imaginative but I have short attention span when it comes to shopping for accessories. Hence, the boring clothes. :D
This teal dress looks lovely on you and I love how you styled it in so many different ways! I definitely agree that a wardrobe is only as big as the imagination of its owner. I'm trying to find ways of wearing what I already own so that it looks fresh.
I love how you found so many ways to remix this dress. You look fab in every one!
I like the color of the dress. I love how well your imagination works with styling outfits in different ways.
I love the mustard skirt and those nine west shoes in the last photo.
Great post! You have great ideas for switching up your wardrobe. I really need to start being more resourceful like you. :)
my favourite look is the one with the mustard dress! doesn't it kind of bunch up under the skirt though?
Ooh! I love all your combinations but my favorite is the fourth one! And I love the vest in the second! <3

You, as a person, are just so.. versatile. Not that you pretend to be something you're not, or anything. But as far as I can see you could be anything :)
Wow so cool! xoxo
I love your new layout. looks good!
Wow! I love them all. I really like the one with the yellow skirt.

Great quote! And I love the dress with the teal shoes and the espadrilles. 2 excellent ways of making it look completely different!
Really cute dress and what a great color! Looks 4 & 5 are best without a doubt.
Wait, I meant looks 5 & 6 are best. Fashion...yes. Counting... not so much :)
I wholeheartedly agree! You are sooo good at remixing. My closet can fit onto into one wardrobe plus a rolling rack (still pretty big, at least for a nobody like me) but I feel like I never wear the same thing twice!
my fave look is the last. i absolutely adore it! you have such a fashionable imagination! kudos to you!
xoxo

This is seriously so inspirational. I have clothes in my closet i sometimes am frustrated with but this is like going shopping in my closet! seriously, you impress me.
hey,im from malaysia.
and my name is amir.
actually i like the way u stylise your mini dress..
kinda cute..
even 1 dress but you can easily mix & match it and make it look very simple but nice..
I love it with the yellow skirt and the waist coat!

Funnily enough, I would love to have all your shoes featured right now! As you know I don't need anymore but...I guess I am always searching for that PERFECT shoe..not sure if they exist though!
I would downsize my closet if I didn't miss things. I find having too much can hamper your creativity!!
PS - the F21 dress was from last year or the year before. It is so cool, had pockets and two layer...but I keep seeing them rotate old stuff so I am sure it will come back into rotation again. I would buy one again in yellow!
Gorgeous dress...love how you can wear it in so many different ways.
I adore those purple shoes in the second picture! Your outfits are simply too pretty! xxoxoxo
always impressive with the remixes! did you see the shoes i DIYed a la YOU?!
I definitely agree that less is sometimes more, especially if you buy pieces you know you will wear again and again! That dress is such a gorgeous colour.
loving that waistcoat and the immense mustard skirt... Is that leather? beautiful as ever. yay for endless imagination :-D

I love how you can wear dresses like that as a blouse with a skirt over top. It makes them so versatile.
That teal colour is just so lovely.
Wow its so beautiful ! love the outfit with the beret ! Xx
Every outfit is adorable! My favorite part is the beret :)
The lovely young lady with an incredible wardrobe; very inspiring!
It's amazing how you can take one thing and work it so many different ways!
That teal-ish colour is so gorgeous, and beautiful on you!
xx
e muliple look posts are fab, I can just see you behind the scenes switching it up and taking more pictures - fun!! love those purple sandals!
I love the shoes in the first pic and the beret later on! I love your remixes.
YOU LOOK GREAT!!! i love the first and the skirt verison the most
You can make the most of one piece... you have to give me a guide for when i start at my Uni
(please do a post)

Great quote and I agree with you 100%. Your new teal dress is lovely. Each remix is equally amazing. I'm in love with outfit #5. Teal + plum = !!!
I saw those little green shoes at H&M today, but they only had 1 pair left and it wasn't my size :( I might have to stalk them for a while in hopes that they get another shipment in...
It's great how you can use the one item in so many different ways! I love them all but I think my favourite would be the one with the beret! Beautiful!
So true! Love the one with the white vest, so cute!
xo

love these outfits. i think the dress goes great with the yellow skirt, although it may simply be the fact that i am in love with that yellow skirt.
I love the colour of your peep toe flats! And oh yes, I couldn't agree more with you with that quotation! :)
Teal looks great on you...Love the various looks you came up with!
love the vintage fascinator
You have an eye for the best colours! In many ways I prefer seeing you wear something multiple ways and truly 'living' in a garment than seeing a beautiful dress pasted on a celebrity, there's nothing personal about it. Clothes should be inhabited not worn :)
I love what you wrote. So true. I've been stopping myself from buying new clothes because I know there's still plenty of stuff in my wardrobe that I could remix.
I love the dress + vest combo. *inspired*
I absolutely love every single on of these outfits, especially the one with the yellow skirt! And Dr. Scholls? Who would've thought!
Tag! You're it! The directions are here http://umama143.blogspot.com/2009/07/tag-youre-it.html
Please play along!
Love outfits 3,4 and 5! I can see no. 3 as a colourful work outfit while no. 4 and 5 are just straight out of mythology woodblock prints <3
what a beautiful dress ! love how you match those outfits :D
Playing with combinations is fun!! For me, I tend to find I'm not great at combining, particularly with dresses. These outfits are all so different!
"a closet is as big as the owner's imagination" - you're so right on that! A few pieces can make endless combinations!
That's such a great dress!
That dress is so pretty! I love the color. You are so good at remixing! I adore the look with the fascinator and the one with the yellow skirt.
You are such an inspiration :)
You are the queen of the capsule wardrobe, my dear! I love how you make one thing look new with a few accessories and a change of shoes. I need to learn more from you ;)
Great post! its making me rethink the way I wear some of my own clothes. I love the colour of the dress too.
I adore your remixes, very inspiring!

The colour of the dress looks so good with your hair!
I love how you make a point of remixing things, it's easy to get into a mindset that you constantly have to keep getting new things, especially when you read so many fashion blogs. You're definitely a wardrobe inspiration!
:) lovely as allways :) i think i did it! finally! thank you very much again :)now, ill go and read the post once more, calm, now when excitement has wanished, a bit. i just hope it works :) it has been tested in IE MF and Opera :D
Brilliant post! Love all the outfits you've managed to come up with but am particularly fond of the last 3.
Your fascinator adds a little vintage 'je-ne-sais-quoi'.
i love the white vest and the wedge shoe. you really know how to play with the camera. You're always sooo cute
U look great =D
Wanna ask you, do u take your pictures with a ... professionel camera or with a normal one?
Sorry for the bad english, I'm morroccan , so i speak french ...
xoxo
Take care
Ps: where r u from?
@Layneen,
My camera is a Canon Rebel xs, it isn't exactly what I would call "professional." I really don't think it is the camera that makes the pictures either, I had a Canon Powershot I was really happy with until I broke it and I got nearly the same picture quality and the same type of images.
And where am I from? I've lived on 3 continents, in 4 countries, and 7 different states. I'm from all over, I grew up moving every 3 years, but I am American.
You're so right: one dress many different ways!
One of my favorite things about your blog is that you rotate clothing! It is so much more a real wardobe, in the best possible way. It's that you actually live in your clothes, not just wear them, and seem to truly take joy in each outfit!
luv how you paired it with the yellow skirt and the outfit with the brown tights and the lil head piece, you look hawt lady!
Wow! You could teach a class on fashion versatility...
when i wear an outfit, i usually use the same things in it, but you dear miss, have shown us differently.. i think i am going to have to be more creative.
You really find the best dresses! And how cool is that vintage fascinator? I love your wardrobe and how you remix looks... it really looks like you have tons of amazing outfits. ;)
I adore every single pair of shoes X3 love them! =)
i love all the looks
esp the yellow skirt
What a lovely dress!
I'm having trouble deciding which outfit I like the most... They're all so adorable! :-)
Endless possibilities! Wonderful post, my favorite was the dress made into top with yellow skirt and the 'fascinator- vintage'. It's a lovely accessory.
Wishing you a Happy 4th! :)
Such a beautiful dress, I love the colour. Your wedges in the second look are so lovely, and I adore that sparkly beret. The last look is definitely my favourite :)
And I completely agree with what you said. I may not have a lot of clothes, but each piece I do have, I love, so mixing them up is all the more easier. Besides, even the smallest change can totally alter a look.
I love it when you do these; It definitely takes a lot of patience to do!
These photos have so many of my favorite color combos. Teal and mustard for life!
I agree! Every piece of clothing is really versatile....you have some great ideas there :)
This was so fun to read! I am hoping for more of these posts to get insipration!!!

It's so true. Loved looking at these photos! You truly do have a lot of imagination and it shows. I really love the dress as well.
