on the heels of my first experiment at remixing a single item four different ways, i thought it would be the perfect time to share a little swap i did with jessica of what i wore back in january. we were both feeling a little bored with our wardrobes, so we decided to send each other some clothes to change things up a bit, sorta like a mini style challenge. the only problem is that i sent her clothes that were a bit more appropriate for summer in new york, while i was getting away with styling them in the temperate california winter!
but now that it’s sweltering hot in nyc, i get to see how jess styled up a pair of vintage levi’s cut offs and a cute vintage dress. and i love how you can see the transition from winter to summer (and west coast to east coast) in these photos! i also think it’s really fun to see how someone would style up pieces from my own wardrobe.

is that an urban outfitter's blazer?
I really like these "ways to wear it" posts. Please keep doing them!!
Wonderful tips to take an own style, visit your blog today by the comment in the what i wore blog. I add you to my bloglovin :D
Great outfits all round.
I did a swap with two other bloggers recently. It was weird and brilliantly seeing them remixing my clothes.
fantastic outfits.SarahD:)
wow! I love the two totally different ways you styled the cut-offs! I actually, wouldnt have thought of either one… Also, do you know what shoes Jessica is wearing in the top right photo? LOVE THEM. I think I need some tie espadrilles for summer, like those.
those thigh-highs are FABULOUS!

Aww hehe I love the idea of blogger clothes swaps! We should actually all get together and do this ;)
KeepItFvncy,
M.E.
P.S. – Are you wearing thigh highs and sheer hosery in that first photo? Where are they from?
i really like your outfits! They are different, but in a good way. I especially love the dress!
You both look great! I love Jess's jumping in the air, yelling pose!

must have been hard parting with that adorable striped dress!
I have a question about cut-offs.
How tight is too tight?
I had a pair of jeans which were a wee bit too tight in the thighs. They seemed like a good candidate for a cut-offs experiment, since I didn't want to ruin any jeans I actually like.
But the resulting cut-offs are a (semi-obviously) a little bit form fitting. They're comfy to wear, but I wonder if I look like a tramp or what? What are the ground rules on this? What's the best fit of jeans to make cut-offs with?
Both of you look fantastic!
I absolutely love the outfit you created with the cut-offs. The layering is great, especially with those tights and shoes. I would love to wear something like that everyday! And, I agree with alida . . . please keep the "ways to wear it" posts going! Fun!
