Day Three

I have a lot more casual days in the summer so I'm sticking (literally) to tanks and shorts. The earrings, shoes and crochet detail have somewhat of a Central American influence. This tank falls into my very large wardrobe category of White/Cream lacy tops. What can I say, they go with everything!

Day Two

I had the idea for this outfit ever since I bought the skirt, but the resemblence to my high school gym uniform made me hesitant to even try it on. With the excuse of the 30 for 30, I threw on the brightest top, skirt, and necklace I own, all together. The pictures don't show the pure flowy-ness of the whole look, but I liked it. Thanks to the wonderously burning temperatures, I spent about two seconds outside and still came in sweaty. Awesome.

One of the few times I did go outside, my friend and I went for a target run. Got a new (and my first) maxi skirt that will make its blog debut soon. Luckily I had one spot left of my 30 pieces! Now the temperatures just need to return to the double digits for me to wear a floor-length skirt.

Inspiration

{feminine summer outfit from Prada}

While wide awake at 1 am this morning I started flipping through the March issue of Vogue with the beautiful and talented covergirl Adele. I hate ripping up new magazines so this one was ok for tearing out some inspiration. So there ya go, everything a girl could want on a scorching summer day: pretty pastel pleats, a spunky British pop star, and a silk designer gown. Stay cool everyone!!

Day One

For my first challenge outfit I started with a bright skirt and sequin tee. My friend gave me these turquoise drop earrings for a past birthday and my black sandals have become a summer staple. I went out for a yummy lunch at a local bistro and visited with some family in the afternoon. Simple start to the 30 for 30! Last time it took a good two weeks or so to start getting wacky outfit combinations. We'll see what this challenge has in store.

30 for 30 is back!

Ahh summer. For the first time in a few years, I will actually be in town all summer. I'm working to save up for college this fall but I also need something fun to entertain me! While rereading Julie and Julia (about one woman's Julia Child cooking challenge), I was inspired to start a little challenge of my own.

I did the 30 for 30 challenge last winter but I think summer clothes and style will be different. Essentially, the challenge is to choose 30 pieces (including shoes, excluding accessories) and wear exclusively these pieces for 30 days. In the winter I had more different types of clothing with sweaters and such but it was easier to make a variety of outfits with layering. I have a few more pieces to decide on but here goes Day One!
