The other day, Kyla of Blue Collar Catwalk noted she tended to remix items in her 30for30 on immediately consecutive days, and I'm beginning to think I have the same prediliction for stream-of-consciousness remixes. After wearing this cardigan in my first remix with pants and boots, I immediately wanted to try it a completely different way yesterday. I loved the way my belt just lined right up with one of the stripes, and paired with leggings and flats this was a perfect low-key outfit for a day of laundry and errands.
My black 'cowl' is actually a carefully rolled up tank top (don't worry, it's one of my 30 items!). I've been loving the way Dotty has been wearing a skirt as a scarf lately, so I started digging around in my bag for something that could be similarly repurposed. The tank worked pretty well - I just folded in the top and bottom thirds to end up with a loose loop. I liked the fit, and the detail of the little button placket peeking through, but it actually wound up being too warm for a scarf!

That is such an effing rad idea. What other accessories or clothing items can we repurpose? Sock bracelets? Legging headbands? The possibilities are endless!
Too warm for a scarf. What dream land does that occur in? Le sigh. :)
I'm totally on board with this idea. I think I will try sock bracelets.
so cute outfit. Love this one! And the idea with the tank top as a Scarf, brilliant!! Wil ltry that one soon as well!
love this different look with that cute cardi :)

Oh wow! Brilliant! I would have never guessed that about the cowl. I need to mentally bookmark this little trick.
I love both the first and second versions of this carigan remixed. And I'm jealous of that lovely weather! Boo Midwest storms.
S.
Love it!
I love this look so much, that cardigan is so perfect! And...I can't believe that cowl is a tank top! Gen.Ius.
I love that cardigan and I would have never noticed that cowl was a tank top!
I'm already dreaming of turbans made of tights....
I'm pretty convinced at this point that I should spend every February in Africa. I do not miss puffy coats and piles of slush at all.
I think next time I might even try layering two tanks up to get even more volume - the cowl can never be too big!
Thank you! I have the feeling this sweater is going to be popping up again and again in my 30for30.
I'm trying to soak up as much of this African sunshine as I can get in the next week - our next few destinations are not nearly so fair-weathered!
Thanks!
Confession: this was actually so comfy that I also wore it for half of the following day. The best part of traveling is that no one knows that you are gross. :)
Sweet! I vow never to even glance at those overpriced infinity scarves in American Apparel again.
yay for appropriated clothes as scarves! and your long cardigan looks great with leggings!
