So I’m like First Lady Michelle Obama: I repeat!
And when I really like something, I wear it flagrantly and frequently. Such is the case with my ‘birthday’ top: a 3.1 Phillip Lim Sono Mama Embellished Tee.
But while I dressed it up with a Topshop metallic skirt for my bday, I toned it down for an afternoon of shopping and brunching in the city with a pair of light washed jeans from Zara and my Topshop check coat.
Though my face is typically BEAT for my shoots, on the weekend, I prefer to go without makeup to let my pores breathe. A great way to ‘fake’ a makeup look: swipe on a flattering shade of lipstick (in this case, I’m wearing my Makeup Forever Rouge Artist Natural N5 + gloss), and pop on some shades.
This is one way I re-used and recycled a stand out item, taking it from dressy to casual. It’s perfectly fine to wear an item as many times as you like, but I always challenge myself to try to wear it in a different way.
Tell me about an item you remixed!
