Navy and Citron Remix: 3 Tops, 6 Outfits

I love reading (and seeing) a good outfit remix. From a seasonal capsule wardrobe to packing for a work conference to remixing a single item of clothing multiple ways, they all give me great ideas on how to work my own closet and make lots of “new” outfits to me that I didn’t think I had.  And when I saw my citron (or chartreuse) sweater and quilted navy vest side by side, it hit me…I’ll do a little remix of my own!

For some reason, doing remixes always seems so daunting to me, but I’m not sure why (maybe from the blogger perspective it’s the time it takes to do all the outfit photos?) But today I’m attempting to break it down to its most basic steps to help ya get started!

So I took three tops, added some accessories here and there (think scarf, necklace, etc.) completed it with jeans and shoes and voila…I had 6 fun outfits right at my fingertips!

I chose three tops that I felt were casual, everyday workhorses for me:
1. Quilted vest: J. Crew Factory {exact, option, option, option}
2. Gingham button up: J.Crew Factory {exact}
3. Sweater (citron/chartreuse): Target, old {option, option}

I tried to pick two of the three pieces in the same color palette, then opted for the third one to be a pop of color (though it didn’t need to be).  For those of you trying a remix of your own, you can follow this formula above and switch out the color palette based on what’s in your closet.  Go crazy!

Once I got my tops set, I added my completer pieces: accessories (like a scarf or jewelry), my favorite Madewell jeans and some booties.  There you have it– 3 tops, 6 outfits!

Here’s the rundown:
#1- gingham button up under sweater
#2- gingham button up under sweater + vest
#3- sweater + vest
#4- gingham button up (+ accessories!)
#5- gingham button up + vest
#6- sweater (+ accessories!)

Hopefully this gives you some inspiration as you work your wardrobe.  Which look is your favorite?

And see?!  I really do wear these looks in real life…or when I get dressed up in something besides workout gear, let’s be honest :-)
