There are a couple challenges that I am facing with this 30 x 30: 1) I wanted to include a bunch of my newest items so I could maximize their use and see how they work with my wardrobe, so this means I'm going into it with less ideas because I've never worn some of them before, 2) I have to wear a suit a few times a week so I am going to try to see how 1 brown suit and 1 black dress/blazer combo can be used as work separates, and 3) I have already had 2 fashion faux pas at the court house (read about the most recent one here) but I didn't want this challenge to just be a bunch of black and grey pieces, so I really want to focus on how to interject some fun into my court outfits without showing up wearing all purple again, lol.
ANYWAY - on to outfit #1 and the inspiration for this challenge:
Blazer: J. Crew Hacking Jacket (similar)
Shirt: J. Crew Boy Shirt in Neon Gingham (currently on sale!)
Pants: Ann Taylor
Shoes: Payless (similar)
Bag: Longchamp
Necklace: Danielle Stevens (love this one)
6 blazers, 1 leather jacket, 3 sweaters, 3 pants, 4 skirts, 1 dress, 7 tops, 5 shoes = 30 items!
(I switched out the lilac blouse 3 rows down in the first spot because I returned it for a red blouse)
And here is outfit #2 - worn to the mall at Merrick Park
Blouse: Old Navy
Pants: Banana Republic
Necklace: Forever 21 (similar color)
Watch: Michael Kors
Bag: B. Makowsky
Scarf: H&M (similar equestrian style)
Shoes: Miss Me

Gosh I admire the bravery - I don't know if I could do the 30x30!! I'm thinking I'll try it at least once in 2013 though - it's always good to push outside the comfort zone!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see how you do it with so many suits needed in your wardrobe - I definitely need to get a bit more professional as this year goes on and my company grows, so hopefully I can get some inspiration here!
I ADORE those pants. I adore anything magenta/fuchsia in nature. But you're rockin those pants like it's your job.
ReplyDeleteI love how you pair different colors together! Super cute. :) Hello from your newest follower!
Super cute outfit! xo.

I love the mix of some traditional professional pieces with some more trendy pieces in your 30 items. Looking forward to seeing your remixes! Also, I am loving those purple pants - that cut is very flattering on you!
ReplyDeleteI love those purple pants! They look especially great paired with that shirt - love the two shades of purple in one outfit!
