Ok, ladies and a few gentlemen, I’m doing something out of my norm. I’m remixing some of my basics, which is seriously something I need to do more of. You know, shopping in your own closets. It’s amazing what outfits you can put together.
Today I remixed one of my favorite tee’s (also shown here) with my white and black striped suit (also shown here).
Pairing the tee with this suit insantly dressed it up . . .
But it also dressed the suit down a notch, allowing me to take it to any type of occasion.
And you know, lately I’ve been cutting back on accessories, only wearing one basic necklace, a watch and maybe of few bracelets. Why is that? I have absolutely no idea but I kind of like it.
So how about you, my friends, do find remixing from your closet a fun way to shop (I do know its fun on the budget), and how is your recent take on accessoriy wearing? Am I just getting lazy or is this a new style?
As always thanks for dropping by, have a wonderful wonderful day.

Thank you Beata.
Patti says
You made such a gorgeous look shopping in your closet, Trina! I think that T shirt is the perfect accompaniment. Thanks for sharing with Visible Monday, xo.
trinagrandinetti says
Oh, thank you my cute friend.
nicolemolders says
great suit!
trinagrandinetti says
Thank you Nicole, it’s one of those items that tend to get pushed away and then resurface, which is always a fun find.

I love the bold stripes with the tee.
I have also been pairing down on accessories lately. I don’t know if I’m sick or it is a phase I’m going through. LOL.

Ok, I’m chalking it up to the Suzanne and Trina phase.
Elle says
Trina,
I love this outfit! The stripe suit can sure stand on its own, but I love the casual rendition with the graphic tee. I also love that the base color of the tee is not black or white, the contrast is nice. I think with all of that. just one necklace was perfect! Love the strappy shoe, too!
Superb! you made me smile!
xx, Elle

Well, just knowing I made you smile was worth the entire post.

It is not easy to pull off a full on stripes look, but you look absolutely stunning! The graphic tee is spot on, giving the suit a less serious look and very chic!
trinagrandinetti says
Thank you, I remember purchasing this suit and wondering if I could pull it off. The material makes for such an easy item and fun traveling piece.
No Fear of Fashion says
I love your striped suit. I have seen it before, like a classy lady, very classy. With the Tshirt you create a juxtaposition (i am so proud of myself that I know that word haha). Which creates tension, which makes it even more interesting. The jewellery is probably just a phase. You have seen yourself with necklaces too often. The law of action – reaction. You will always love accessories.
And the shoes. Drooling over the shoes…!!

trinagrandinetti says
Our love for shoes, it can get us in serious trouble.
Alena says

Those shoes are strappy little wonders, aren’t they?
happinessatmidlife says
This stripe suit is stunning on you. I remember seeing this and went immediately to BR to purchase it. Unfortunately, it didn’t look as good on me as it does on you.

You cute girl, you. I actually bought the suit at banana republic but sadly it was a purchase a few years ago. I’m just thrilled its still in style.
Jess says
aww. I think i have one dress with stripes. Thats ok. Love it on you. I have tendonitis with possible carpal tunnel, in my forearm, so next week, pic will have to speak 1000 words

I love to shop my closet and think of all kinds of options, it is amazing what you can come up with. Loving your great t-shirt paired with the striped skirt and jacket – two of my favorites – graphic tee and stripes!
Thank you for linking up with SHOE AND TELL on Style Nudge!

Okay Trina dear. HOW COULD YOU post this fab outfit and NOT talk about those shoes???? I need to know exactly what they are so I can find them on ebay…
trinagrandinetti says
Ha, the shoes are from Ann Taylor and I believe on sale by now.
Jan Graham-McMillen says
Oh, hello Trina! You’ve been so busy with all your projects so far this year that I don’t wonder you’re closet diving. Good for you, and I love to see remixes … jogs my creative juices into flow just looking at how lovely you look in this outfit. Excellent. Have been looking for graphic Ts, but not finding quite what I want. The soft dusty pink is fabulous in this combo …elevates the shirt and makes the stripes pull their weight! So glad I stopped by. As always, I’m cheered by your pretty face!
trinagrandinetti says
And I’m always cheered by your comments. What I love most about the newer graphic tees are the looser fit. Try pulling up banana republic, they have some way fun graphic tees that are always on sale, espeically look on Tuesdays, that when they have their 40% off items.
