steady rotation





Outfit Details:
leather jacket - c/o Coach (last year, no longer available)
dress - c/o Corey Lynn Calter
shoes - J. Crew Mona
vintage Coach bag - gift from my mom (from her shop, Hourglass Consignment)
glasses - ray-ban RB5226
lipstick - MAC Pro Longwear Lipcreme in Unlimited


Whenever I'm in a rush or having one of those silly "I have nothing to wear" moments - which is often, despite my overflowing closets - I tend to grab a dress and this jacket. See here, here, here, and here for examples. It's my dressed up version of jeans and a t-shirt, a usual go-to. I only recently received this dress, but I can already see it being worn over and over. I hate to use the term "remixed," because heck, shouldn't all of your clothes be in steady rotation? Still, I'm excited to wear this dress over and over and in many combinations - much like my old faithful jacket.

  5. So pretty... and so true..I often find myself looking for something I haven't worn, when you should grab what you love and remix it...I have so many dresses like this I might just have to throw on my leather jacket! Thanks for the inspiration Keiko!

  6. Keiko Lynn, you are copying me! Just kidding of course, but my post for today was of a leather jacket with a dress too! Glad to see I have similar tastes to a favorite blogger :)

  7. Ohhh! I love that dress. The lines in it are beautiful.

    I have a go to dress jacket combo hanging in a separate closet from my other clothes for an emergency. (in case my alarm doesn't go off...it's my backup plan!).

  10. Beautiful pattern. I think I'm going to "copy" the idea of wearing a beautiful dress instead of jeans + t-shirt, when I find nothing to wear. I understand your opinion about "remixing". But it's not always so easy, sometimes we find a cute way to wear a certain garment & we stay loyal to that combination. I think many people do that (at least the people I know lol), sometimes it's difficult to get away from the comfort zone. Personally, I avoid to wear the same outfit head-to-toe twice (although I have a relatively small closet).

  65. Whoa! This dress is oddly reminds me of my vintage batik dress which used to belong to my Mom and my Grandma! I wore it on this post http://stylenseason.blogspot.com/2011/11/herstory-autumn-green-leaves.html
    Don't you think it looks similar? Vintage is amazing!

  75. Oooh!! I just adore your dress!! The colors and patterns are perfect, and I love it with your leather jacket. <3 I'm a huge fan of floral/girly dresses with leather jackets. It's a perfect balance between girly and masculine. :)

    ReplyDelete

  76. I love this dress! I love the bright, bright florals and the really feminine cut. It's short enough and has got just enough swing in the skirt so can be easily dressed up or down! I have a really similar one, base colour purple, and I always pair it with lemon yellow flats to match the florals. Can't wait to see how you "remix" this - want to steal some tips from you! Thanks again for sharing this outfit!

  80. I love the juxtaposition of dainty flowery girl and biker chick. I would totally wear that. :)

  81. I just love this dress! That flowery pattern with that black stripes.

    ReplyDelete

  82. All clothes should be on rotation...I wear the things I love till they fall apart!

    ReplyDelete

  83. I absolutely love your dress! And I do the same thing as you: my "jeans and tee shirt" type outfits are usually comfortable dresses and a sweater/jacket. So easy, but still put-together!
