Before I dive in, let me just say that my computer is still at the Apple store, so I won’t be able to put up my photos of everything I packed until tomorrow (hopefully!) so thank you for being patient. Okay. So, for those of you just joining us, I have committed to, and accepted a remix challenge, brought on yours truly. For the next two weeks, which ends on the 31st of this month, I will remix this little black dress, 14 different ways. This idea was inspired by The Uniform Project, and the fact that I am home in Seattle for the next handful of weeks and needed to pack light. So, with that said, let’s talk about the outfit.

It’s Friday and tonight I am going to meet up with one of my oldest friends for happy hour down in Edmonds, to catch up and fill each other in on the happenings of our lives. I wanted to wear something that was sort of dressed up but still understated—Edmonds is a small little town right by the water and I didn’t want to go overboard—hence the mostly black ensemble with just a few accents of color here and there. It’s warmer today than it was yesterday but still necessary to wear a little blazer and tights, plus what I am going to call my “driving gloves.” Because, well, I get to drive while I’m here. (Woo hoo!)

Stay tuned for another remix tomorrow!

Hello, my loves! I am so excited this morning. I am flying out to Seattle today for three weeks to spend Christmas vacation with my family. Hurrah! My only concern as I was packing last night, how in the heck am I going to bring a large chunk of my wardrobe home with me again? Over the summer, I brought so much with me, plus came home with lots of fun items, that my suitcases were beyond hefty. Then I remembered Sheena from The Uniform Project and how she decided to wear one dress for 365 days. I thought to myself, if she can do that for an entire year, then I can at least try and attempt to remix my own little black dress for a mere two-three weeks! So, although my plan isn’t as awesome as Sheena’s, which donates money towards the Akanksha Foundation so that underprivileged children can have a chance to go to school, I was still so inspired by her creativity and determination to base all her outfits around one little dress. Plus, I think this will be a great way to show how to pack lighter when going somewhere for an extended period of time. So, starting Wednesday, I am going to give this challenge my best shot. Wish me luck!
