30x30x10

This might be one of my favorite outfits so far. I love my two-finger ring.

I love this little necklace. So dainty.

I now this picture looks like the ring was Photoshopped in for some reason, but let me assure you... it's fo' real. Isn't it awesome?

Skirt: Kohl's
Cardi: Target
Ruffled tank: Target
Ring: Icing by Claire's?? Maybe. Maybe Forever 21.
Necklace: Target
Shoes: DSW

30x30x9

It rained this morning, and it's supposed to snow tomorrow. I can't wait to get out of town and head to St. George for the weekend--sunshine, hiking, warmth, and swimming. And that amazing Swiss Muesli at the Bear Claw Coffe Co. Mmmmmm...

Hat: BHV, Paris
Shirt, pants, shoes, jacket: Target
Earrings: don't remembah
Bangles: Forever 21

P.S. I kind of can't wait to wear jeans every day once school starts. Hooray!

30x30x8

I think this one-eye-partially-closed look is good for me, don't you?



Please especially take note of the silly string all over the yard from the kiddos' Easter baskets.



If nothing else, I love this outfit because it's the first time I've worn navy blue with black for as long as I can remember.

And that necklace. I love it. It almost reminds me of an Ancient Egyptian pectoral piece made of inverted gold lotus flowers. Charlotte Russe, $6!

Cardigan, H&M
Blue ruffle shirt - Target
Black skirt - Nordstrom rack
Shoes - Guess (found at Ross)

30x30x7

I kind of love this. Maybe a lot. Although, I did end up deciding that the polka-dot cardigan with the circle necklace was a bit much, so I switched out for a more simple necklace when I came home for lunch.

Overall, though, this is one I would wear again--and one I never would have put together otherwise.

30x30x6

Okay, I'm back with another handful of 30x30 ensembles.

Hmmm... not my best look, I think. Those sandals might have to be gifted to someone.

I Might Be Bad at It

You know that scene in A Walk to Remember when what's his face tells Mandy Moore he's going to kiss her and she freaks out and says, "I might be bad at it..."? Remember? Oh...no? You don't watch dumb girl movies as much as I do? Oh, okay.

I've kind of adopted that phrase and I will say things like "I feel like I'm going to be bad at this game," even when there isn't a game to be played. It's one of my little quirks.

All this to say: I had a feeling I was going to be "bad at this game" of 30 for 30. I've mostly worn a different outfit everyday, some shockingly similar, but not exactly the same. My problem is actually getting the pictures taken.

So, I'm going to try to be better, but I'm not going to go back and take pictures of the outfits I've worn. I'll just wear them again and start off counting where I left off.

Oh, and I'm cheating (what's new?!). I'm changing it to 40 for 40. I'm still going to call it 30 for 30, because I can... but it will last longer and include more shoes and jeans, since I only have two weeks left in the corporate world.

:)

30x30x5

After work today I changed things up a bit.

Grey pants: Wal-Mart (who knew Wal-Mart had cute clothes?? I didn't until a week ago)

White shirt: Wal-Mart

Grey flats: Target

Necklace: No idea whatsoever.

Bangles: Mix of Target and Forever 21

Today I wanted to wear something I normally wouldn't... so I knotted a silk scarf I got in Paris a bunch of times along the length of it and turned it into a bracelet. I like.

Dress: Target

Shirt: Wal-Mart

Shoes: Kohl's

Earrings: Target

Silk Scarf/bracelet: Dawali in Paris

Cardigan: Target

Tank: Target

Pants: Target (der...)

Wow... my legs are so white...

Black ruffle skirt: Nordstrom Rack

Black cardigan: Target

Coral ruffle tank: Nordstrom Rack

Necklace: Target (most likely)

Bracelet: Wal-Mart (who knew?)

Awkward poses: That's all me, baby.

Here is my first 30x30 ensemble. I wish I didn't look super awkward in that first picture, but what can you do?

Cardigan = Target

Tank = Nordstrom Rack

Pants = Target

Shoes = DSW

Earrings = Target

30 for 30 (Attempt #2)

So, with the upcoming financial change I'm going to experience as I go back to school, I think it's more appropriate than ever for me to do a wardrobe remix project. I never ended up doing it the first time, so I'm going to start now (well, soon).

I am going to pick my 30 items this week, and then next week I'm going to start the remix. The 11th will be day #1.

Things I already know about the remix:

• I am going to focus on creating more variety in my casual outfits--since I'll be going back to school and won't have to dress up for work, I want to look more polished while wearing comfortable clothing.
• I am going to have a hard time picking which shoes to include.
• I am still going to be really grateful that accessories don't count in the 30 items.
• I will be completely over taking pictures of myself every day.

So, here goes nothing...
