This printed dress was featured last summer and I’ve only worn it one way, as there were not changes needing to be made at that moment. Since I adored this dress so much I decided to create a peplum effect by tucking the hem into my tulle-layered skirt.
Sometimes you just need to bring back a good thing, (and in my case this tank styled dress) to mix it up by embracing its versatility. The dress is a style that could go from summer to fall quite easily with an addition of artful tights, boots, or a 3/4 length Tee! Of course, for those cold nights adding a leather jacket would be my obvious selection as well!
I think the tiered underskirt with the new faux peplum combination really produced the look that I was going for, one that could be digested in sections and appreciated. I had the comfort of a tank, a cinching leather belt as an impressionable accent, and a colourful palette that drizzled a unique (umbrella-like) feminine poof all on its own. For the prints must never be forgotten!
I always enjoy remixing items from my wardrobe …
Have you remixed any older items from your closet recently? Do you have a favourite item that you love to wear in your summer to fall climate transition?
The goods: Belt-Thifted, Leather sandals-Spain, Dress-worn as peplum-F21, Black underskirt/Beaded necklace-Ladyofashion, Clutch-DIY, Tank-H&M, Bangles-Charity shop, Consignment, gifted
That beaded necklace matches perfectly with your top and skirt. But, the footwear does not do any justice to your getup. A pair of strappy, black wedges would add more vavavoom to your look. Nevertheless, you got great fashion sense.

Thanks Kizzy. I agree with you being inventive often helps me also to see my wardrobe differently. I adore lace so I am excited for you and your new clothing additions. 🙂 xo
Yes, it's actually good to remix, sometimes you find that you love an item even more. Hope your weekend was amazing.
Thank you! 🙂

Such a cute look, loving the print!
Thank you! 🙂
I love what you did here with the remix, I have to say I'm a bit crap at the transition period between fall and summer, that inbetween time always gets me.

Now that's a clever remix! I'm a big fan of tiered dresses and skirts and I just adore how you've remixed your dress and created that adorable peplum. As for remixing pieces in my closet – as of late, this is all I have been doing being on a shopping ban since March:)
great job remixing! you kind of have to learn how to do it unless you are rich and can afford buying new clothes every day hahah

I love your take and styling on the peplum, it's brilliant how you can just nip or tuck a garment here or there to transform it's wearability! Fantastic print too!
I hope you have an amazing weekend Madison!

Hi Madison! This is a really cool DIY! I love how you turned a skirt into a peplum version!
You know, Peplum, strangely, is really big on Indian runways now… I am loving this outfit on you… Fabulous!

This is fab…I like what you did here. I quite often do that kind of thing. My husband always wonders what the heck I'm doing when I tuck a dress into a skirt, but sometimes the tops of the dress is quite nice on it's own :)) Very inventive. I'm going to get some lace appliques and crystal gems to be adding to some pieces of clothing in my wardrobe sometime. I like to do that to make an original piece when I get bored of looking at something I've worn. You look fabulous 🙂 Have a wonderful weekend doll xoxox

Beautiful skirt! It matches perfectly with that shirt!

nice idea! the dress looks lovely either way! Recently I remixed 2 dresses of mine…since I didn't wear them a lot I decided to cut them and make tops out of them, which I'll definitely wear more!
I love this look! I need to remix more often, it would probably help with all my shopping. Love the colors on you.
Nice remix! I really like the tulle skirt. I think I might to add some tulle to my life. Thanks for stopping by my blog!
