I was recently looking through old photos, specifically, the last trip TJ and I took to Europe, right before I found out I was pregnant with Harper. I remember so much from that trip….wine, good food, awesome memories…. but I also vividly recall lugging around a 60 pound suitcase across 3 countries. Yes, it was ridiculous. Mainly because I ended up wearing a few items, mixed and matched, over and over again for two weeks. I saw my favorite blush fedora, black stripe turtleneck, black skinny jeans, flared jeans, trench coat, and black silk button-up repurposed in almost every photo.

 I recently started a hashtag on instagram called #IBIremix. I think it’s so important to be able to wear items in your closet multiple ways… what’s the point of owning it if it only has one purpose (except for those “special items….”). That being said, enter today’s outfit. It’s a super basic transitional look (since CA has decided to skip winter all together….) wearing my all time favorite body-con dress + cozy cardigan that I’ve worn so many times over the past couple of months (shared it in my “favorites” post). It’s a super basic look, perfect for a brunch, lunch with friends, or an afternoon spent shopping (probably not so appropriate for a toddler play date….). You can wear the dress with a denim jacket (styled here), suede jacket, over the knee boots, booties, a utility vest, or solo on a warm summer day. The cardigan easily pairs with jeans, denim shorts, a dress, and lounging around the house….

When your wardrobe mainly consists of items that mix + match, you ultimately double it without having to purchase more!
