Remix Rewear Restyle is a weekly link up hosted by Caitlin @ Greater Than Rubies. Today’s theme is Patterned Bottoms. Caitlin suggested that we could use a dress to create a faux patterned skirt, so that’s what I’ve done!
I knew I wanted to use this floral dress to create a skater skirt look, so I turned to Pinterest for inspiration, and found this from Get Glammed Up. How cute is she?
Here’s my take:

Nicely done! I can’t even tell that this is a dress (to me, that is how to judge the success of a layered outfit such as this). I’ve been into the skater dress look lately. It seems flattering for us ladies with slightly (or very) curvy lower halves. I might try to replicate this look sometime…I just hope I can pull it off as well as you did!

Thanks, Whitney! I love this dress, but it tends to ride up a bit and be too short. My husband likes it though. 😉

Very cute look! Love the floral skirt with the denim shirt tied at the waist. As an English teacher, can’t help but love the title of your blog too!

See, I would’ve done the chambray buttoned and knotted over the dress but yoou took it one step further and layered with a tank top and the illusion of dress as skirt becomes that much more complete. This is why you’re the master and I merely the humble apprentice.
Three huzzahs to you!

The Queen of Knottingham?!? LOL! 😀
I was doing my best to mimic my Pinspiration, plus I wanted to bring in some grey to tie in the pewter sandals a bit more. I’m glad you approve!

Awesome job, Selah! Love how you layered this cute floral dress to look like a skirt. The knotted chambray top is so cute with this and I’m loving those sandals (still). 🙂

Awesome layering! Layering over a dress can be tricky to pull off!

Thanks! I think what made this work was that I tucked the hem of the tank up so that the tank hit at my natural waist (where it would if the tank was tucked into a skirt). Then I used the knotted chambray to disguise the fact that the tank wasn’t tucked into a waistband.
