Day 20: One Hundred!!!

Hey guys! Guess what?? This is the 100th post and just over one year after I started this blog. I'm still catching up on my 30 for 30 looks but I've also been taking pictures of post-challnge outfits. I feel like there are so many options its even harder to choose what to wear, but in a good way. I always wondered how celebrities got dressed in the morning because they have all the clothes in the world at their disposal. I'd love to have all those designer pieces, but it would be terrifying to face a room-sized closet everyday.

This look embodies my overall 30 for 30 style and I guess my own normal style. The skirt has a crispness while the beaded tee slouches perfectly. It surprises me every time how comfy this shirt is. Its a nice blend of soft, stretchy, and flattering. I tend to wear simple yet pulled-together looks on Monday to ease myself into the week. But now I'm on winter break and loving it!!!

Happy Holidays! I'm leaving tomorrow for the East Coast and I'm in the midst of some very careful packing. I'm tempted to pack half of the 30 for 30 pieces and call it a day. How do you guys pack? Do you meticulously plan each outfit or toss a bunch of cute stuff in a bag? Somewhere in between?

Day 18 & 19: The Good Ole' Days

Hey guys! Simple as it is, I actually had some inspiration for this outfit. Don't hate me ok? I was totally feeling the '90s sitcom mom style. So my jeans aren't over my belly button or hideously unflattering, but the layed-back, neutral look reminded me of Chessie in The Parent Trap. Since I didn't experience much of the '90s culture besides snap bracelets and jelly shoes, I asked my dad the other day how he would describe it. "I can't....I mean...its not...." I think that basically sums it up. When you say 1990s--I think of those creepy kids in textbooks, wearing baggy striped shirts and illfitting pants.

Mostly I was just looking for a casual outfit and most of my 30 for 30 pieces were fancier. I wore this to see Morning Glory in theaters and it was pretty good. Kind of like a less glamorous The Devil Wears Prada. I put this on late in the afternoon, slept over at my friends house, and had to wear it to church the next morning so I guess its day 18 and 19. I know its breaking the rules...blah blah but rules were meant to be broken right? Oh hush, its not like I wore anything that was outside the challenge wardrobe, plus this was just a more hard-core version of the 30 for 30. Imagine if the challenge was to wear the same outfit for 30 days? Now we're talking creativity.

Day 17: Shiny and New

Hey guys! We took these pictures in my sister's newly painted room. Our whole family worked on it and it was really fun, the only drawback was that we had to keep the windows open and it was about 30 degrees out. My room is next and I choose a pretty similar color, with a little more pink.

I was really happy with this look because I never would have mixed these textures. Somehow they all clash yet the neutral colors bring it together. The shirt is wonderfully sparkly, the skirt is classic lace, and the boyfriend sweater is super comfy! Some times I save fancier outfits for the school week, but its fun to dress up and have nowhere to go. Definitely one of the best remixes thus far.

Day 16: Giving Thanks

Hey guys! Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving! I speed walked the "Turkey Trot" race at my church in the morning and went to some family friends' house for dinner. There were a few nontraditional Thanksgiving foods like risotto, roasted portabello mushrooms, and hummus, but those were just as yummy! When the challenge started I thought I was pretty sick because it was going to end right before the holidays. Nobody at school noticed I was repeating clothes so often, but wearing the same dress to multiple holiday parties might have been obvious.

I'm often overdressed (and proud of it!) because all my family gatherings are pretty casual. I fit in this year in this loose, maroon dress and ruffled cream cardigan. I bought this dress for an 8th grade graduation party and surprisingly I've worn it a lot since then. Once I looked at the pictures, I think this would look really cute with brown leather cowgirl style boots. Thoughts?

Day 15: The Misfit

Hey guys! So I called this outfit "the misfit" because I feel like its not as wintery or mature or something as the other 29 looks. Its definitely not a bad thing cause I liked the bright coral cardigan on this super rainy day. This blouse went with the youthful vibe I was channeling. Flats were the predictable shoe choice, but (at least this day) I didn't feel like freezing my little feet off. Keep on reading- there's more to come!

Day 14: Girly Glam

Hey guys! Just catchin' up on my 30 for 30 posts. No worries, I did the challenge consecutively, I just didn't have time to post right away. Better late than never :)

I wore this the last day before Thanksgiving break. Its just simple neutrals with jeans, but the lace and gold flats give it a little pizzaz. I would consider this a very typical look of the challenge. Somehow all my pieces were either very feminine or very businessy--maybe that tells me something about my personal style....Anyways, no divine inspiration, just trying to look decent on the last day of school for a while.

Still Hangin' On

Hey guys! Its been so long since I've posted daily outfits, but I'm here to tell you I'm still alive! Its been crazy at school and somehow I never seem to catch up. Luckily most of my teachers believe in the "Its winter break, no homework!" policy so I'll have time to blog my heart out. As for this weekend I have a wonderful history paper to finish (ahhemm, start). On the bright side, its about fashion! yay haha maybe if I'm not completely ashamed of it I'll post it next week.

Oh I almost forgot- I finished the 30 for 30 challenge! Some outfits were a little boring but I survived and didn't cheat....much. Just kidding, sometimes I changed into my outfit VERY late into the day but it still counts. Hope all you fellow 30 for 30ers had a great challenge! If you didn't participate you should definitely try it sometime. Not only do I appreciate all my clothes more, but it was kind of relaxing to only have a few options. You know that feeling when you open your closet and everything's staring back at you but nothing seems right? Somehow having less pieces makes it easier... Many more 30 for 30 posts to come!
