Summer Remix Challenge - Week 3

Another Monday in July, which makes me wonder, “Why is summer going by so quickly?” I cannot believe this is the third week of the Summer Remix Challenge at Greater than Rubies any more than I can believe that August is right around the corner. Unbelievable!

This week was a fail for outdoor pictures with the hubby. He was busy getting gear ready for military training and was trying to work on school work. {Who takes courses in the summer anyway…I must be crazy}! I know I have written before about my lighting challenges at our home. That little issue caused me to great a creative. I purchased a mirror to place outside and take selfies. This helps so much because the hubs is gone to work before I get dressed and I change at work before going to the gym in the afternoon. Sometimes I may or may not fold my clothes nicely in a moment to get to the gym quickly + I just don’t want to put those clothes back on when I get home.

I ended up using the mirror outside but also discovered it would hang on a closet door in the bathroom. Amazing!! I now have options. So here you go…week 3 in color. I have to give a shout out to Valerie @ The Style Files because I kinda used her idea of styling a certain piece with several options. This is total flattery, Valerie!

  • I love the scarf you wore with the mustard skirt! That skirt is so cute! Great job remixing this week!
    • Thanks, Becky! I am so learning to love remixing. Glad you stopped by and hope you're having a lovely day!
  • You make a white tshirt look so good! Pretty outfits. Love the idea of taking the mirror outside for selfies - might have to give that a try. Have a great week!
    • Awww...thanks, Lana! I going to experience more with the mirror outside but real light is just so much better than indoor lighting. Glad you stopped by and hope your day is lovely!
  • ADA
    Great outfits Carrie. Love your mustard skirt, woven pants and floral tee, as well as both the leopard and the red pumps. Some chic work looks here. =) Hope your week goes great and I agree Summer is going by too fast.
    • Thanks, Ada! Getting dressed for work these days is so much fun after wearing denim for the last couple of years. Thanks for stopping by and hope you're having a lovely day!
  • Caitlin @ Greater Than Rubies
    The mustard skirt with the tee and leopard flats has to be my favorite, but they're all great looks, Carrie! Hope you have an amazing week- can't wait to see the next round of outfits! :)
    • Thanks, Caitlin. That mustard skirt has hung in my closet for a couple of years, during which time it only was worn to church. So glad I can wear it work now. It has become one of my favorites. Glad you stopped by and hope you're having a lovely day!
  • Great looks! I love the scarf with the white tee and black pencil skirt; I'm going to have to remember that outfit for later!
    • Thanks, Marissa! Honestly, the options with a pencil are endless...would you agree? Glad you stopped by and hope you're having a lovely day!
  • Amy
    All your great looks with your white T are reminding me that I really need to find a good replacement for mine. Between stains and fit issues, I don't actually have a wearable white top right now (other than long sleeve). I love that you made that T and your mustard skirt work as two totally different outfits!
    • Thanks, Amy! A white tee is such a staple isn't it? When it's missing, it is so noticeable. You did a great job of remixing - love your skirt choices, especially the red on. Always love a plaid shirt too.
  • Rachel Garay
    Very creative to put the mirror outside. Gah! I can't believe August is around the corner. Rachel xo
    • I know...August means summer is going to be over soon. Glad you stopped by!
  • Carly
    Love the look with the striped top, scarf, and trousers! Very pretty!
