#ParkerStyle Remix

Hey guys! How was your weekend? I had a great time doing what I love at Twelve 24 Boutique. As their in house Stylist, I had a blast yesterday when the Chic Boutique Tour stopped by. Because I was going to be on my feet most of the day, I wanted to wear something comfortable but still look put together. Because half of my current wardrobe was either dirty or in a suitcase from my weeks of traveling, I decided to pull something from the archives.

A couple of weeks ago my girl Karen Leano, COO of Cayetano Legacy, posted her #OOTD on Instagram. When I saw it I was totally blown away. She paired a rolled up chambray shirt with a citron yellow bandage skirt and of course accessorized it with a Cayetano Legacy necklace. She rounded out her look with funky, leopard flats.

With that look in mind, I decided to perform a #ParkerStyle remix on her look. I pulled out a vintage INC bandage dress from Macy's that I haven't worn since last summer. Ironically, I paired this dress last year with a Cayetano Legacy necklace. This time, I topped the dress with my trusty sleeveless JCP denim shirt (similar style here) and the yellow Talese Cayetano Legacy. By topping the dress it created the illusion of a skirt like Karen's. Since I was going to be on my feet all day, I decided to wear my black, spiked sneakers from Target. To step it up a notch, I also added a red, studded Alter Ego Clutch from Twelve 24 Boutique.

So, what do you think of my #ParkerStyle Remix? I know it's a little unconventional, but I love the spin I put on Karen's look. Although the core elements are similar, we have two entirely different looks. Our looks may not suit every one's tastes, but I have put together a style blueprint so you can adapt this look to fit your lifestyle.

I hope this inspires you to be adventurous and try your own style remix. Whether you choose a look from a magazine or from a friend, put your own spin on things. You'll be surprised how easy it is to recreate looks from old items in your closet. It's a great way to save money and revamp your wardrobe. As always, "Make the world your personal runway!"

See you on the front row!
