For this first look I wore a bomber jacket over a lace maxi dress. This is my favorite way to make a special dress feel more casual! 
Don't be afraid to tie your top. This is one 90s trend that I don't mind one bit! 
Next, try mixing up a mini dress with a cardigan and cute cluth. This is one of my favorite casual spring stylings! 
Dress up a simple vintage dress with a D.I.Y. Bow Tie! 
The second way I love wearing my high waisted jeans is with a pretty top, tucked in. Layers of necklaces add fun details to this look. 
The second way I love wearing my little vintage dress is with colorful tights and a skinny belt! 
Try layering a lace top over a dress and adding a belt for a cozy vintage styling! 
Another fun way to wear a sleeveless maxi dress in the winter is with a top layered under it. I like this look because it's easy to wear and casual. Hooray for eight new looks!

Now Spring just needs to hurry it up and get here… 😉

Super cute ideas!!! I LOVE your style ♥ I’m so ready for Spring outfits. It’s been so warm here lately!
This is so fun! I love when you have a big smile. My fave look is the first one. I love a good bomber jacket matched with something a little feminine.

I’m also a big fan of knotting/tying my tops! 🙂
I love each and every style! You gave me many ideas! This was good to me 🙂
i´m sorry, but i think these trousers make you look “fat”(ter) and short.
better stick to your cute dresses, gal!
<3
Look #3 is my fav, but lose the clutch. I love mixing prints, but not like that!
And to counter anna’s comment, I think the jeans make you look sexy curvy!
all the outfits look great but my favorite are the first one and the sixth one =)

I am loving jumpers over dresses at the minute, a great alternative to cardigans and much warmer! Even lovlier if the dress has a little collar, my other current obessesion! going to be doing some blogging about it soon on Sallytangle.
Love all these!!!

These are fun and clever. Love what you did with that already awesome mini dress. I also love the wedge heels you wear in most of these.
Love the looks! That mini dress is darling!

Whatever. Those jeans make you look hot, hot, hot!
I can understand critiquing someone’s style on their blog, but going after their (perfectly adorable) body? Real classy, troll.
I love high waisted jeans! Win. Win. Win.
All great looks!
Have a beautiful day!
Cheers,

Thankyou, i love the bow idea and i love highwaist flair jeans, it’s hard to find the fit one for me.
My eyes always go to the purple stockings! What a sweet-as-can-be series of photos… fun fun.
I love this, and each outfit is so unique. I hate thinking if I reuse a piece of an outfit people will think “Didn’t she just wear that” but these are an amazing mix!.

Love this!! Great Idea.

Love that polka dot top with the high waisted jeans. So casual chic.
Loved all the looks, I’d probably wear every single one of them! Though the lil dress with cardigan, lil dress with coloured tights and the bowtie with a dress are my fave… *seriously just saying 3 there was hard o.O maybe I should’ve just said I loved them all and left it at that haha*
Great post and fashion sense!

love every single of them
great outfits!
number 6 is my favourite 🙂
i love look number five, it’s casual and classy at the same time. I often do number 6: i love colour too much 😉
I am so much in love with those jeffrey campbells ♥ every time you wear them in one of your outfit posts I swoon over them!
I love your sheer polka-dot top, I have been on the hunt for one for a while now! I was inspired when I saw someone wearing one under a bulky wool sweater.

I’ve been tying tons of my button-up tops lately! Such a cute look with jeans and skirts!
AHH! I love how fun these outfits are. Some of them never even occurred to me before. Your ideas are so cute and creative. 🙂 I am definitely looking forward to trying the first and seventh look 🙂

I love some of these ideas! Super cute!
http://ahopelessnotebook.blogspot.com/
I love this idea. I have a tendency to wear the same pieces in the same way every time. I need to mix it up a little.
Thank you for introducing me to the idea of wearing sweaters/blouses over dresses to mix up the look! I’ve become a huge fan of that look, and am definitely bookmarking this post– great fashion inspiration~*
http://aclosetintellectual.blogspot.com/
how pretty!!! I love the first one =)
I’m always SO inspired by your pattern mixing. Also, can I honestly say I think you’re the prettiest girl ever? 🙂
Polka dots, lace, and vintage dresses! All of these outfits are getting me so excited for spring! You look fabulous in each one of them! Excited for the next mixology
I love this feature. Sometimes when I wear tops over dresses I feel frumpy. I don’t know why. It looks so cute on other people. xo, rv

Genius idea! I’m going to do this!
Also, I’m pretty sure those jeans are amazing and don’t make you look “fat”! That’s silly. you look amazingly curvy and gorgeous 🙂
I love your mixology feature! I’ve missed it. Look 3 and 8 are ones I do the most. I didn’t even think to layer necklaces so thanks for the idear!
I like number 6 the best! She looks so happy in it!!!
The black bow tie on the yellow dress is adorable!
Lovely outfits!
I like how you alternated items to make a gorgeous and unique collection!

Hi Elsie, Mrs H and I just love your style, you are truly an inspiration, I am wearing you modcloth locket in my post today, I hope you get time to pop over and meet me and Mrs H, lots of love from New Zealand, Mrs C x

I love all the mixes! It saves a lot of money when you can get creative with a certain number of pieces and mix them in different ways!
http://www.weatheredrosevintage.com/
I like #5 the best! I can’t say I’d wear most of these though..most people are conservative where I live and they would probably ask me to change. But I love the color and the mixing of prints..I love being daring-no matter what people say!
I love all the looks but I have to congratulate you on the tied top 80’s look. You pulled it off elegantly ! You’ve inspired me to try the same 🙂

that brightly colored plaid dress is downright amazing
Bonded leather is much like particle board.
What an awesome way to really maximize essential pieces of your wardrobe. I would love to do something like this on my blog [giving credit to you of course:)] Love the blog!
Peace & love,

I have a teenage daughter and I think I’ll get her to check out your site. She’d love some of the “looks” you’ve developed. She is also quite an independent thinker.
Thank you

Love to see these mixes. It’s so fun to play with clothes like this, you really come up with something different or something you didn’t think of before.
What a great post. I love to read and learn about mixology and how to use the pieces in your wardrobe over and over again. Love this inspiration!
XOXO
i love the 2nd outfit! Great pics…:)
Very cute ideas! One question…where did you get those high-waisted jeans?
http://www.guccibagsjapan.com/ ２５日午前１０時半ごろ、北海道白老町の白老港から南東約１０キロの沖合で、登別市の登別マリンクラブ所属の遊漁船「ＭＩＨＯ７（ミホセブン）」（全長７．３メートル、定員１４人）が転覆。乗っていた船長の沢田行雄さん（６３）＝登別市千歳町＝と釣り客４人が海に投げ出されているのを、近くにいた漁船が見つけて４人を救助したが、２人は死亡。１人が行方不明になった。
