On Cardigans and Remixing

I had a conversation in the comments the other day with Anne about the expectations we have for our clothes. I mentioned that sometimes I felt like I expect too much from my clothes–I have a hard time buying a dress that can “just” be worn as a dress or really any item that has limited remixing capabilities. While these expectations can sometimes be a bad thing (case in point: I almost passed up this dress that I really like because it’s not very versatile), other times it really helps me get more creative with my clothes.

Wearing my cardigan as a shirt (well, with a modesty layer underneath…that V is just a leeetle too deep for me) is one such example of this concept. I’m so glad the Two Birds gals picked this picture for Inspiration Monday, because I actually saw it earlier on Glamour and planned to try out this idea. It’s nothing too novel; just buttoning up the cardigan rather than wearing it open. However, I never wear my cardigans that way, so I’m glad I tried it. Simple, but I like it.

Have you tried any “wardrobe experiments” lately?

I’ve had this yellow cardigan for a while now, and even just as a regular ol’ cardigan it’s proven very remixable. Here are two other ways I’ve styled it.
