But the third one was just right

Dress (as skirt): BR, from Marilou;
Sweater: Faded Glory;
Belt: LOFT;
Scarf: H&M;
Boots: Target.

 This was the third outfit I tried on Sunday, and it just seemed to go well. The dress was one of my goodies from my Christmas package from Marilou of Twenty York Street -- we decided to exchange presents this year, and she sent hers early! I loved the blurry grey lines of the dress, and so for its first outing, I paired it with the abstract reds in my scarf. Between the blurs of my outfit and the natural surroundings behind me, I feel like these photos would be at home in an Impressionist painting. Although I've always thought that the perfect reflection of the sky in the lake is probably a fit with Surrealism -- which way is sky? Which way is ground?

It's Day Three of the 30 for 30 Challenge. Have you found any new reading obsessions? Share some of your new favorite blogs in the comments -- I'm always looking for new friends/remixing inspiration!

  1. I love that dress-as-skirt! It's got such an interesting, eye-catching print that goes wonderfully with the belted red sweater. This is a favorite, JoAnn!

  4. Ooooh, I love it! ML sent me the same dress but I haven't worn it yet. It's so gorgeous on you! I love how you styled it with the cardigan and the pattern mixing with the sweater.

    I haven't been able to catch up yet with my own subscriptions so I'm not checking out any of the new ones from the 30 for 30. I will. Eventually. :)

  6. This skirt, sweater and top go so well together. And I love that the skirt and scarf would not probably be a 'regular' combination most people would think of. - Katy

  8. I love the dress as a skirt. You can rock red, I'm jealous. It does not go with my colors.

  10. Lovely combo! I included those same boots in my 30 items. I'm slowly but surely making my way to everyone's blog, but so far I really like Blue Collar Catwalk and What Would a Nerd Wear.

    Happy remixing!
