Rose A La Mode

30/30 Challenge

by //

Wow, it’s time of the 30/30 challenge again! Have you heard about it yet? You have to pick out 30 articles of clothing (shoes included) and only wear those items for 30 days! It’s a challenge for sure, but so worth it. You really figure out what awesome thing you actually have in your closet and how versatile they really are! I am going to be house sitting for 2 of those weeks, so I’m betting it’s going to be a good start for me.

Get in on it! You can get more details at Kendi Everyday!

Shopping: Talbots

by //

My mom has recently lost a bunch of weight (I’m so proud of her!) and almost nothing in her closet fits her. And when I say almost nothing, I mean she has about 5 things she can wear. Can you believe that! It’s fun and frustrating all at the same time. But she asked me to help her today. It was pretty fun. We went to Talbots. I usually find their style is more for someone my mom’s age than me, but I couldn’t believe this item! You totally can’t see how amazing this is, but it looked good on me, our sales associate, and my mom! I think that’s one versatile item! It’s really beautiful and will be perfect for the holidays—for you or your mom.
