wardrobe_remix(ers) o' the week

it's thursday already? seriously? wow.
there are just about 3400 people in wardrobe_remix as of this very second? seriously? WOW.
that number made me do a double take! so to commemorate, a few of this week's picks of fab wardrobe_remix(ers) feature two for one's, in more ways than one!
feytwee: (how killer is this photo? goddamn.)
mbibelot: (how cool is the print on her dress? very.)
memepunk: (how amazing is that graphic hoodie? enough to make her jump.)

midoritsuru: (how can she be any cooler? she's got it going on.)
vasiliisa (and fellow WR'er sjwhidden!): (how could this photo be topped? it can't...it's helsinki's dynamic duo!)

new favorite finds

surely someone out there in the largely silent ether of the internets can relate: do you ever thrift something, just knowing it will be your new favorite thing in your wardrobe? do you delight in the fact you paid so little for such, as i do? do you revel in the fact that you're giving something another chance at a new life, a new interpretation?

***

all of the above were thrifted within the week: two black cocktail hats, the perfect pair of 70s vintage lee jeans with wide hems, and simple but chic black vintage pumps with faux alligator texture.
i have been thinking a lot about hats lately...and by lately i mean the past several months, as this post way back when can attest. this photo of jonesy80, one of my very favorite wardrobe_remix(ers), reminded me of my desire for such.

i love how she's paired it with more modern threads. mixin' it up, if you will.
i'm not so much thinking of fedoras or bowlers or other super structured or masculine toppers, but hats that are really little feminine fripperies, such as pillboxes and cocktail hats. i like the idea of wearing them with a modern dress, or with a revealing tank on the weekend, while doing something completely casual, like scarfing down a hamburger or slurping down a beer. the visual juxtaposition of such, the ironic thought of it, appeals to me.
in my fashion fantasy land, cocktail hats are comin' back, with a vengance. i'll be rockin' those pictured here unapologetically.

wardrobe_remix(ers) o' the week

it's thursday! it's time for wardrobe_remix(ers) o' the week! these are but a few of the TREMENDOUSLY STUPENDOUS photos i had to choose from...and that's no hyperbole. seriously, people...it's really, really difficult to choose just a few when there are so many looks being rocked that are so terrific. i say this all the time, but i'm shocked at how fast this group is growing. every week we add about 100 new members. not sure what's tipping the scales, but it is really awesome! if you know, leave a comment! let me know where you've spread the word about the group, where you heard about it if it wasn't me who told you about it and you just happen to be reading here. tell me what you like about the group, and if you're a member and participating, what you like and get out of it! i'd love to hear from you.

warholuva: (is bringin' spring!)

becktress: (is girlish, graphic, and going retro!)

velcrokitchen: (looks cool while he stays warm!)

duckrabbit: (shows off her sugary sweet and simple style!)

TATi *: (adds a dash of structure!)
