Fashion Mixology: 8 Outfits from 8 Pieces

Hi friends! It's time for a brand new round of Fashion Mixology styled by Emma! The concept is simply this... We take 8 pieces of clothing and make 8 different looks with those pieces. Shoes and accessories don't count. The goal of this feature is to inspire confidence and ideas to stretch your wardrobe farther!  

Who doesn't love a statement piece that's super easy to wear? This printed maxi skirt goes a long way when paired with other neutral pieces. 

Have you tried a belt over an untucked top? We love this easy styling! 

In the winter we love finding new ways to wear our sleeveless dresses. One of our favorites is by layering a top underneath and wearing it with warm tights. It's like an instant long sleeve dress!  

Wearing a dress as a top (or a skirt) is a secret we love for stretching cute dresses farther! You wouldn't have guessed it's a dress under there, would you?  

Rain boots and cute tights make any outfit instantly casual! This is the perfect styling for a rainy shopping day with friends.  

Try layering your blouses under fitted sweaters with jeans. We love this super easy outfit!  

One styling trick we love is adding one quirky detail to an outfit. These stripe socks with flats make us smile! 

Don't forget that you can wear a long skirt as a dress. Just fold the elastic band under (inside) and add a cute belt!  

We hope you've enjoyed these 8 styling ideas! If you want to read more Fashion Mixology click here: 1-2-3 Have a great day! Emma + Elsie

I love this. I am so guilty of layering different pieces with sundresses when it's chillier out, but this makes me feel more confident in my choices.

And bonus: I've always wanted to wear some skirts as dresses and never had the confidence to do it in public. Thanks for the booster.

I LOVE the last outfit! I never thought about pairing a striped scarf with more stripes like that, but it looks awesome!

I'm loving all the black + white stripes!!! They are my favorite right now! I have a few stripe pieces picked out. Thanks for all the ideas.

Gorgeous! I am tied between 3 and 5 as to which is my favorite, layering is kind of an obsession for me and I love turning my skirts into dresses when I need a quick new way to wear something! Thanks ladies!

I looove this part of your blog. Extra inspiring! I've been trying to come up with new ways to wear my clothes too. The best part is: yours are always so colourful and playful. Thanks to you, I am officially in love with colourful stockings. Have no luck in finding them for myself yet, though. Thanks for the lovely post ♥ Can't wait to read more lovely ideas ;)
