wiww + 7x7 remix challenge!

This week I'm participating in the 7x7  remix challenge with Ma Nouvelle Mode

The challenge is this: pick 7 pieces, including shoes, and make 7 outfits with them! 

Accessories are unlimited.  

Here are my 7 picks

Including shoes in the 7 really made this challenging! I almost chose 2 pairs but at the last minute switched them out for a pair of shorts and I'm glad I did.

 

I decided to make this a true challenge and choose pieces I wouldn't necessarily pair together so lets  see just how far I can stretch my wardrobe!   

1.

 My husband was out of town for the last week so last Sunday we had a much needed date night. I love this color combo together and this is my new favorite belt! ($5 on clearance! Whoot!) I got tons of compliments on this outfit too which is always nice :)

2.

 

 Yes that's a skirt. Yes I'm wearing it as a shirt. I love to use clothing in more ways than one and this skirt actually works quite well as a top! Paired with skinny jeans and wedges this could actually be a lot dressier! But I didn't include either of those in my 7 so I went casual instead ;)

 This an outfit I definitely wouldn't have tried on my own! 

The pattern mixing was new for me and has a fun unique vibe-definitely trying this again!

4.

 This is one of the reasons I love maxi skirts!  This is the perfect breezy outfit for blazing hot Texas! It was super comfortable but still classy and the natural tones paired beautifully! I do recommend using a thick belt if you decide to remix your maxi to really define your waist! I tried this with a thinner belt and it looked a little blobby. Yes blobby is a technical fashion term.

5.

 One challenge I didn't expect in creating these outfits, was fighting the urge to re-use the same jewelry! I love the way these bracelets work with the floral top but I really wanted to get out of my comfort zone and be creative! So this is the only outfit I put them with!

This outfit is a good example of how you can be super casual but still look put together with a few accessories! Also I don't know what is going on with my face here... 

7.

 This floral top turned out to be the piece I used the most but never in the same way! Its been tucked, tied, belted and left loose! I love the yellow belt against the army green too. Its a belt I hardly ever pull out but thanks to this challenge I'll be utilizing it more often!


There you have my 7x7 challenge!! I have to say I LOVED participating! There are still outfit options too! I still could wear the purple dress alone, or the floral top with the shorts....

Thanks to all the lovely bloggers hosting the challenge linky-lets do this again!
