We're so excited to share a new round of Fashion Mixology with you today! 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! Here are links to Round One + Round Two as well. Here goes nothing...
For this first look I wore a bomber jacket over a lace maxi dress. This is my favorite way to make a special dress feel more casual!
Don't be afraid to tie your top. This is one 90s trend that I don't mind one bit!
Next, try mixing up a mini dress with a cardigan and cute cluth. This is one of my favorite casual spring stylings!
The second way I love wearing my high waisted jeans is with a pretty top, tucked in. Layers of necklaces add fun details to this look.
The second way I love wearing my little vintage dress is with colorful tights and a skinny belt!
Try layering a lace top over a dress and adding a belt for a cozy vintage styling!
Another fun way to wear a sleeveless maxi dress in the winter is with a top layered under it. I like this look because it's easy to wear and casual. Hooray for eight new looks!
Clothing Details: Bomber Jacket/Target, Maxi Dress/Lulu's, Polka Dot and Lace Tops/Threadsence, High Waisted Jeans/J.Brand from Anthropologie, Brown Belt/UO, Yellow and Plaid Dress/Vintage, Orange Tights/TopShop, Shoes-Looks 1,2,3,5/Jeffrey Campbell c/o ModCloth, Looks 4,7 c/o Lotta From Stockholm, Looks 6,8/Vintage.

This is so fun! I love when you have a big smile. My fave look is the first one. I love a good bomber jacket matched with something a little feminine.

I'm also a big fan of knotting/tying my tops! :)

i´m sorry, but i think these trousers make you look "fat"(ter) and short.
better stick to your cute dresses, gal!

Look #3 is my fav, but lose the clutch. I love mixing prints, but not like that!
And to counter anna's comment, I think the jeans make you look sexy curvy!

These are fun and clever. Love what you did with that already awesome mini dress. I also love the wedge heels you wear in most of these.
