Thursday Remix

Remixing it up with my maxi from last week! Frankly, I still have a hard time 'mixing' my maxi skirts, but I thought the monochromatic at least added a little different spin to it!

So far, today is feeling much better then yesterday. I have an appointment that gets me out of the office a little bit this afternoon, which is always nice, and my bro is also leaving Chi-town via train this afternoon to come out to visit for a few weeks, and I can't wait for him to be here! We've been here almost a year but aside from B's parents, no family has been out to visit, so I'm excited to show him where we live! Guess that means I ought to get on cleaning the apartment!

What do you guys think I should remix next week??
If you need a reminder of my last few remixes, check check check it out -

Oh yea, and I dyed my hair again. Whoopsie! Once I start I just can't stop! Are you guys feeling the red? I'm only ok with it, but it's a fun intermediary color before digging into to a darker brunette!

Hope you have a lovely day today ya'll!!

Today I decided to go for remixing my chambray button up tank. The outfit is nothing really extrordinary but it was comfortable for my PMS-ing and didn't make me feel like I weighed a million pounds, and sometimes, thats all you can ask for!

I'm super stoked for the weekend, another one that will be spent at the Gorge. This time seeing Dave Matthews Band (B is obsessed. No really. He's one of those mega fans thats seen over 60 shows. And yes, I'm going to marry that.) Anyway its going to be just he and I so I'm looking forward to our little weekend camping/good tunes getaway!

Ok thats all I've got. Anyone else get PMS brain? My short term memory is shot and I can think of absolutely nothing witty or creative to share. Sorry ya'll. Maybe post-relaxing weekend I'll feel a little more like myself!

And we're back! I decided to start fresh and mix up an item from last weeks outfit. I always struggle with new ways to wear a maxi, so I thought I'd challenge myself a tad and see how I could make it feel like a completely different outfit. It may not be totally different, but before blogging I never would have thought to add all these layers!

As a reminder, heres how I wore it last week:

Ya'll I'm EXHAUSTED today. I spent the evening at the emergency vet when I noticed my little booger Rosie was crouched all over the apartment trying to tinkle. Turns out she has a UTI, so shes on meds now, and B has a pinched nerve in his neck/back that's hitting its worst point, and making it impossible for him to sleep because he's in so much pain. I feel awful for them both and I'm completely stressed. Needless to say the Kathryn Laine household is a bit of a cluster right now.

I need a nap. And something with rum in it. Stat.

I admit, I kind of took the easy way out. I wanted to remix the striped maxi from last week, but this week has been exhausting and work is kicking my butt, so its the coral tank top again. THREE weeks in a row! I know, I know. At least its a basic piece so constantly re-wearing it in the office probably isn't weirding anyone out yet.

So wow. Just. Wow. On the Dallas finale last night - EPIC. Totally intermixed the old show with the new one. Already can't wait til January for the new season to start! Ack!

Ok readers I need your very serious opinion here. I've been feeling the need for a change in my look. I spent my late teens and early 20's dying my hair every color of the rainbow, but its been years since I've been anything but my (natural) blonde. I'm thinking about going brunette.. or possibly strawberry blonde. Like, tonight. Like I want to stop at the drugstore and pick up my favorite dye and just go for it.
Dont get me wrong, I LOVE being blonde, and I'll always go back to it... sometimes it just fun to mix things up a bit. I'm just skeptical since it's been so long since I've changed it!! What do you think??!

Oh, and, in case you don't remember how I've been rocking my lovely coral tank the last few weeks, here's your Remix Reminder!

This week I remixed my tank from last week (though I was really tempted to remix my green jeans for the 3rd time...)

Here's a quick reminder of the past few remixes! What part of my outfit do you think I should try to remix next week??

PS. We finally picked up our packages and I got my iPhone tripod adapter! Woooo! Can't wait to try that puppy out :)

Happy Thursday yall! Oh man, Thursday already?! Another week flown by, and another week I am not complaining. B will be working all weekend so I hope to get some serious reading done. I'm on (nerd alert) Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, and so far I feel like the book is nothing like the movie -- and that's why I love it! There are still some surprised in the HP sphere that were left unknown until I started reading the books. 


Ok, done geeking out. You know what I hate? Coupons from my favorite stores. 
Am I the only one that feels a twinge of horror mixed with guilt when you receive a really good coupon in the mail? It's because I know, in that moment, that this coupon will get used. It will not go on to live in the trash bin where it should, it will not be overlooked and tossed to the side. It will be happily used until my online shopping cart can hold no more. This is a problem when I'm trying to pay down my store cards already. But yesterday I got a FOURTY PERCENT OFF coupon for American Eagle. 40%. Off. Of cute basics and fall sweaters. And perhaps a colored jean or two. Oh man. My credit card is going to get a workout on this one. And I slightly hate myself for it. (But at least I'll look really good whilst I hate myself.) ;)


On to the outfit! This is the first time I've actually worn color with my green jeans and I love it. Its simple and not to loud but I really like mixing them up! What should I mix next week?? I'm thinking Tank or Cardi. Opinions??


For a lil' reminder, here's the progression of the last few weeks mixin'!

xo, Katie

Here we are again! Today I'm remixing my top from last week's maxi dress turned skirt shenanigans. Remember how much I love my green jeans? Here they are again dressing up my simple white top all fancy style. I love you colored jeans. What part of my outfit should I mix next week?!

xo, Kathryn Laine.

This edition of Thursday Remix has me mixing up my yellow maxi from last week! Ok, ok, techinically it was from two weeks ago, but I was on vacay last week.

I kind of feel like there isn't a lot of ways to wear a maxi dress. You can mix it with every cardigan or jacket under the sun, but I wanted it to really feel different, so I wore it as skirt of sorts instead!

Thoughts?

Happy Thursday ya'll!

I decided something on happy accident today - turns out LAST Thursday I posted wearing this same cardi, which got me thinking, Thursdays should be my remix days! I'd love to do one of those 30 x 30 challenges, but I'm awful at reusing pieces, so perhaps this is a good way to ease in. After vacation, everything Thursday, I'll be taking one piece from the previous Thursday's outfit and re-wearing it in a different way! I love a good happy accident. You can see last weeks gray cardi outfit here!

Two more days and I'll be sweet home Chicago! Can't wait!

xo, Kathryn Laine.
