30x30: Days 7-12

Welcome to week 2 of the 30x30 challenge! This week was good, although I'm worried about running out of good combinations. Let's get right into the outfits

Day 7: Teal 1/4 sleeve shirt with grey work pants
Day 8: Plaid long sleeve top, grey tank and light wash skinny jeans 
Day 9: I didn't spent much time in this outfit but I still wore it so it counts! Grey t-shirt, green cardigan and dark bootcut jeans
Day 10: Pink & grey striped shirt with green cargo pants (promise I'm not pregnant but oof that shirt isn't doing my midsection any justice)
Day 11: Purple empire shirt with white tank top, grey tweed-like pants and floral scarf
Day 12: Navy top and plum pants (ok I sort of cheated, the navy top has to have a cami underneath so I added a beige one)

I've never worn a scarf with my day 11 outfit before and I quite like it together. I'm excited for the other outfits I have planned like remixing my mustard skinnies. Be sure to check out what the other ladies are coming up with!

30x30: Days 1-6


Wow! I made it through my first week of the 30x30 challenge. Are you playing along? You really should. Let's get down to business ... the outfits. I'm not a style blogger. Fashion isn't a high priority in my life even though I love it ... I just don't always love it on me. So here is my really awesome cell phone picture collage all photo credit goes to my 6 year old. By day 4 she was saying "I really have to take your picture again?" ... yes my dear you do and we are only 4 days in so suck it up we have til the end of the month to go.


Day 1: Black and white 3/4 sleeve shirt with dark bootcut jeans
Day 2: White tank, grey striped shirt, cargo pants and floral scarf
Day 3: Umm oops. We went hiking all day. I didn't want to ruin my good clothes by hiking so I cheated and wore absolutely nothing from my 30 picks. I'll consider this my 3 cheats, I wore tattered jeans, crappy t-shirt and Colts hoodie and let's be honest we don't need a photo of that :)
Day 4: Red striped shirt, grey tweed-like pants
Day 5: Grey tank, black cardigan, grey trousers and yellow infinity scarf
Day 6: Brown tunic top and plum pants

I'm feeling good about the challenge so far. My day 6 outift is actually something I've never worn together before so I'm already making some new wardrobe choices. I am however realizing how terrible my hair is. I could use a new do. 

Be sure to check out the other ladies who are participating this month, they had some amazing picks last week so I'm excited to see how everything is coming together!

30x30 Fall Challenge

Instead of setting goals for the month of November I've decided to participate in a challenge I've followed for quite awhile. The 30x30 Challenge!

Here's the deal, you pick 30 items and remix them every day for 30 days. As I've mentioned before we are hitting the budget hard so this is the perfect challenge for me. No buying anything new, just using what I have in as many ways possible. Since I've never done this before I'm just picking 30 items from tops and bottoms. Shoes and other accessories like jewelry don't count in my 30 items. Here are my 30 pieces, ok well 27 pieces. Since I've never done this before I could only come up with 27 that I knew I would wear so I'm leaving 3 open as a "just in case".
1 - yellow infinity scarf \\ 2 - floral scarf \\ 3 - grey scarf
4 - light skinny jeans \\ 5 - dark bootcut jeans \\ 6 - mustard skinnies \\
7 - cargo pants \\ 8 - grey trousers\\ 9 - grey tweed-like trousers
10 - pink & grey long sleeve shirt \\ 11 - white tank top \\ 12 - beige work pants \\
14 - plum bootcut pants
14 - teal 1/4 sleeve top \\ 15 - purple empire shirt \\ 16 - brown tunic sweater top
17 - heart sweater \\ 18 - red striped long sleeves \\ 19 - grey cardigan/sweater
20 - black with 3/4 sleeves & white tank \\  21 - green cardigan \\ 22 - grey t-shirt \\
23 - dark grey tank top
24 - navy top \\ 25 - black cardigan \\ 26 - grey & white stripes \\ 27 - plaid button down
So what do you think? Will you join us? I can't wait to see what all the other ladies have lined up for this month!
