Daily Threads: Colorblock


{Gap Colorblock TeeTarget Black Skinny Pants (similar), UO Suede Pump, Target Cognac Belt}

Here we go again! Another round of remixing, but this time with warmer and different pieces. The pictures are deceiving, huh? Well, while 30 of the 50 states are being hit with possibly the largest winter storm ever, down here in the southeast there is sun and warmth - and that means short sleeves and rolled pants to start this winter remix - hope you don't mind. I love the south, but I hate when spring gets lost. Sometimes we jump straight from winter to summer without notice, and that hurts my heart. While I have a love-hate relationship with spring (it's because of you,evil allergies!), I do love the cool morning and warm afternoons, the light dresses, and the blooming flowers.

Ok, that paragraph was getting out of hand and I needed to start a new one. Back to remixing! I'm doing it again! Remixing offers new ways to enjoy the wardrobe you already have. It pushes creativity and offers a new perspective on your own style. So I'm here. Again. To see what else I can get out of my closet! One down, twenty-nine to go!

  2. Love this. I hear colorblock is going to be big this spring! Those red suede pumps totally winterize this outfit. I'm so jealous of your warm weather...although it might be close to 70 here tomorrow! (And then back to 38 on Thursday...)

  9. Dang girl... you look AMAZING! I would say "hot" - but does that make me creepy!? Oh what I wouldn't give to show some ankle today... TOO cold! I'll live vicariously through you.

  18. It's good to know I'm not the only one who isn't experiencing a harsh winter. I live down south too and spring can get a little lost! The color block shirt is cute, especially paired up with the orange shoes!

  20. I love the colorblocking going on in this outfit! So genius and chic!! Can you ever go wrong with a pair of red pumps? :)

    And I am insanely jealous of your warm weather. Virginia is just enough in the middle of the country that we definitely experience winter and man am I feeling it! :)

  23. Super sexy AND sophisticated. You have mad style skillz Linley! And I know what you mean about paragraphs getting a life of their own, lol :)

  24. Um, I LOVE this! The red shoes with the black and white is awesome.

    California seasons are similar - we don't really have a clearly definable spring. It's more of a wet season and a dry season.

    I love how classic and cute this outfit is...the colour block shirt totally throws me off...from a distance it makes it look like your pants are extremely high waisted (it looks cool)

  37. Great first look! I love those shoes - and I"m soooooo jealous that it feels like spring to you. I think i'd be happy with milder weather!

    ReplyDelete
  38. Adorable! I love that this is your winter remix kick-off outfit! I am in Vancouver, we are also having pretty mild-ish weather (most days). I am loving it, especially the lighter layers part! Can't wait to see more outfits. xx veronika
