When it comes to shopping, my main motto, which I learned from my mother and grandmother, is you should only purchase pricey pieces if they go with at least five items in your closet. Well, after a long week, I decided to treat myself to two little somethings, which I found at Urban Outfitters. I picked up this beautiful little sheath of a dress, and this funky belt. The issue at hand: the dress cost a little bit more than I usually spend, but still not astronomical by any means. Yet, even though I know I will get a lot of wear out of both items, I want to practice what I preach, so I have decided to remix this dress five different ways to prove to myself that it does in fact go with five things in my closet.
So, I give you look 1: All dolled up, out at The Richardson in Greenpoint, BK, for my friend’s engagement party.
My Outfit:
Dress: Urban Outfitters (I wasn’t able to find it online, but the brand is Kimchi Blue.)
Black bandeau: American Apparel
Belt: Deena & Ozzy Hook Belt Urban Outfitters
Tights: Drugstore
Shoes: Jenni Kayne
P.S. Passion Pit outfit photo to come soon…

This is really cute. The color looks great on you. I think if something looks great on you then it is worth purchasing, but that can lead to trouble haha!

Christine, that color looks amazing on you! The black bandeau, tights and shoes together + the length of the dress make your legs go on and on and on- gorgeous!

Yay! Remixing an Urban piece. They are on the steep end, so I appreciate that you nominated this dress for the challenge. Nicely done for an evening outfit.
