Fashion remixing is my jam. Repurposing an item not only drives down the cost-per-wear, but you get bonus style points for being able to wear the same piece at the office, casually on the weekend, and dressed up for a girl’s night. Anyone can take an outfit off a mannequin and look put-together; real style is breaking those looks apart and coming up with your own versions.
The team at Tulip here in Kansas City reached out with a cool idea: take several bloggers and have them style a single item to show readers + shoppers how many different ways a piece can be worn. I love a team effort! The first item we’re styling is the The Home T, proceeds of which benefit multiple sclerosis.
I styled this super soft, slightly slouchy gray tee (I sized up to get a borrowed-from-the-boyfriend feel) with black silk shorts, classic patent pumps, and a few necklaces. (Yes, that’s a grenade.) The boyfriend fit of the tee and legs-out combo left the door open to add a blazer up top. I grabbed my one and only thrifting score: a men’s Brooks Brothers blazer. I love that it’s a little boxy (so very 90’s) and that it provided some nice contrast to the leggy look. Best $15 I’ve ever spent!
Tulip is running a little contest, allowing you to vote for what blogger you think styled The Home T the best. Check out how my fellow blogger pals styled this tee on the Tulip Facebook page. Feel free to vote for my look if you liked it– just drop an “A” in the comments right here. And if you’re in the Kansas City area, swing through Tulip on the Plaza– so many super cute things to choose from.
Girl I am all for repurposing sartorial pieces so I am loving this concept. And seriously crushing on this whole look. It’s perfection for me. Cool tee, blazer and short shorts with heels. Winning. And yeah, totally voted for your look! Good luck with the contest!
You are such a gorgeous gal! I love the shorts, blazer & heels combo – especially paired with a t-shirt! Girl after my own heart 🙂
