At this point it’s been said a million times but good advice bears repeating: A great outfit is about the right balance of shapes. If you wear baggy on top, wear fitted on the bottom (and vice versa). I used to think that was just something style experts say when they can’t think of anything else (and that could be true too), but I’ve found it to be true. If I had worn boyfriend jeans with this tunic and jacket, I would’ve looked like an Olsen twin, and if I had worn a tight top with these leggings I would’ve looked like a skank. (This is why no one hires me as a style expert. Saying “Remember to balance” is more helpful than saying “Don’t be an Olsen or a skank.”)

I decided to try extending the whole balancing logic and paired a dainty bracelet with an oversized watch. Pretty cute, right? Well I found out pretty quickly that the dainty bracelet just gets stuck underneath the oversized watch over and over. I spent most of the school day adjusting my accessories. I might not have absorbed much from class, but I did learn an important lesson about bracelets. So I’m going to call it a win.

It’s day 3 of the Take One, Pass it On remix challenge, and I kind of boxed myself into a corner with day 2’s outfit. I had already remixed the shirt, and wearing my rain boots again would have been a little silly under a sunny sky. So that left me with the black shirtdress to wear for a brunch date on Saturday.

But being the savvy remixer I am, I decided to disguise the dress as a shirt by putting my new midi skirt over it. I’m pretty proud of myself for trying this skirt, you guys. I’ve avoided this length because I was afraid it would accentuate my lack of verticalness. But I think this one that hits just a couple inches below the knee works for me, especially with a little bit of a heel. Plus it has these awesomely huge pockets! What will I keep in the pockets? Probably nothing. But I like knowing they’re there in case I have two footlong sandwiches I don’t feel like carrying.
