What To Wear: 30/30 Challenge

by //

OK, here is the plan for the 30/30 challenge (details here). I got really organized this time and actually wrote out 30 outfits. This is unlike me. I’d rather fly by the seat of my pants, but last time I felt I was losing momentum and needed a little help, so this time I decided to just make a little cheat sheet. I think I’m only going to use it if I’m desperate.

I really don’t like wearing the same outfit more than once (not sure why) so I think after making this list it’ll force me to be even more creative because I’ve already “worn” a lot of these outfits in my mind and want to move on. Ha ha! Hopefully the creative juices will flow freely. Or I’ll just resort to the list.

Oh, and I’m waiting on 2 items to come in the mail that will be added to these 28 items.

Here we go!

Getting Ready

by //

I’m sorry for the lack of outfit posts this week. I guess I’m storing it up for the next 30 days. 🙂 The 30/30 challenge starts this weekend and I’m feverishly trying to get ready. So tonight I decided I need to do some last minute shopping. I think I need another pair of skinnies and another pair of boots. 🙂 Yeah, like I need more boots. (I guess I’m just going boots crazy this year. It’s good. I finally have some!) So, I just have to decide between these two pair. What do you think?

Day 30 Business Casual

Not sure why I’m calling this business casual. I wore it to church and I no longer work in an office. Oh well, here it is! My last outfit for the challenge!

I got this shirt from Bitten. Do you remember Sarah Jessica Parker’s line? It was so great and so cheap! I got an awesome t-shirt from there that did not like to be washed and lost it’s form rather quickly. But this shirt has lasted me 2 years! I also got an awesome winter coat for $10! I’m sad Steve & Barry’s closed and there is no longer any cheapo Bitten clothes for me to buy.

Here is my new Linkel Designs Ring! Isn’t it great! I’m loving it.

This challenge has been better than I thought it would be. Don’t get me wrong, I had a difficult time coming up with new, unique outfits and didn’t always succeed, but it was so good for me to see how much I had with only 30 pieces! I’m looking forward to doing this again if Kendi does it in the Fall because I’m realizing there are some items in my closet that I actually do like, but don’t ever wear! How tragic! They are made and bought for my wearing, but too often I find myself thinking they’re boring. I definitely appreciate my clothes more and am looking forward to new possibilites with all my clothes from now on!
