Day 30 - Today Is a Good Day

Worn on March 3rd, 2011

shirt: Gap via Buffalo Exchange, tee: Urban Outfitters, skirt: DVF (sample sale), tights: ?, boots: Vince Camuto

30 for 30 remix- day 30: Yaaaaaaaay! Its done! Over! Helllllooooo closet :) I’m pretty happy to be done with this, can you tell? Aaaand I get to pick up my friend from the airport today. Just in time for a shopping filled weekend. Today is a good day. 

And for the recap:

Overall I feel like had more fun with outfits than the last time around. I only had a couple days in there where I really hated the outfits, other than that I was pretty pleased with what I was able to come up with.  A couple things:

-Accessories can be a life saver. Scarves, hair thingys - can totally bring an outfit around.

-Its best to think outside the box when it comes to a certain garment. Lets sau, my chartreuse dress. It can be worn as is, with a sweater over top, underneath another skirt, and even completely covered up so only a little detail shows. I know look at everything in my closet a completely different way. 

-I love color. and prints.  No surprise there. 

-Based on a lot of these pictures, especially the first row of the first set, I have a leaning to the right problem. Fo realz. 

Day 29 - Twenty Nine (because I don't have a good title)

Worn on February 2nd, 2011

tee: Delias, cardigan and tights: Anthropologie, skirt: American Apparel, boots: Forever21

30 for 30 remix- day 29: Oh man, these poor little boots. After I got back from taking these photos, half of the heel came right off! Maybe some superglue will help? I hope so, I love these boots. 

After doing some thinking yesterday, I think I’m gonna try out some small weekly things for now. Like Wedding Wednesday- I haven’t fully figured out what, but it will be wedding related. I hope you all don’t mind. I promise I won’t get crazy with it. And I was also thinking Etsy Favorites Friday. I really want to bring in more Etsy related material, seeing as half the reason I started this blog was to coincide with my Etsy shop. And then of course I will have my usual outfit posts, shop updates and hopefully more ReStyles in between. Yay? Nay?

P.S - ONE MORE DAY. eeee!

Day 28 - Thinking Time

Worn on MArch 1st, 2011

sweater: Express, skirt, belt, and socks: Anthropologie

30 for 30 remix- day 28: Whoops, I forgot to put on shoes for these photos. My bad. For the record, I wore my short black boots. Cuz I know you were all wondering. Anywho…

I was thinking about maybe doing some weekly features on here. After this remix I’m getting kind of sick of just posting outfit pictures. I do post my etsy stuff here and there, but its not on a regular basis- only when I get new stuff made. So I don’t know, even if it was just a simple one photo inspiration type thing. Inspiration? Things I like? Etsy favorites? Wedding post? I have some thinking to do. What do you think?

Day 27 - Blame It On The Rain

Worn on February 28th, 2011

sweater and tights: Anthropologie, dress worn as top: Forever21, skirt: American Apparel, wedges: Madden Girl

30 for 30 remix- day 27: I hate to mention this every time I have to take indoor photos, but I really hate taking indoor photos. I just don’t have anywhere near the proper lighting for them to look right. Blast. But it was raining kitties and puppies (or cats and dogs, if you prefer) and it would’ve been impossible to take outdoor photos. 

So today I spent a little time putting together a quick inspiration board for the beginning of my wedding planning. It wasn’t hard - I’ve actually been collecting images and pretend planning this for years. I’m going for a fun, colorful, and playful feeling. But, do any of you know of any good wedding blogs/inspiration sites? I already follow Ruffled, Wedding Chicks, Once Wed, and Green Wedding Shoes. 

Day 26- Dollhouse

Worn on  February 27th, 2011

sweater: Forever21, shorts: JCrew, tights: Anthropologie, headband: made by me, belt: Coach, boots: Vince Camuto

30 for 30 remix- day 26: I kinda feel like a little doll in this outfit. Maybe its the baby pink, or the giant bow, or the girly florals. Or you know, all of it. But I like being girly. I like big bows and florals. And I kinda miss being a little girl playing with my dolls and having tea parties. What, just because I’m 23 means I can’t still dress like I’m 8? I mean, I still make forts in my living room, so why not :)

Day 25- Laundry Day

Worn on February 26th, 2011

tank: NY&Company, tee: Urban Outfitters, skirt: American Apparel, tights: Anthropologie, boots: Forever21

30 for 30 remix- day 25: Yes, you are seeing this correctly. I took my outfit pictures in a laundromat. And there were other people in there. And it was weird. Fo realz weird. But it was laundry day, and we had a lot of other stuff to get done that day. So laundromat it was. 

And I’m finally at that point where I’m really sick of my 30 items. It took me long enough. But, there are only 5 more days left, so I guess I just need to suck it up. 

Day 24 - Big Fat Cheater

Worn on February 24th, 2011

sweater: Gap via Buffalo Exchange, skirt: Anthropologie, scarf: Urban Outfitters, tights: Express, boots: Vince Camuto

30 for 30 remix- day 24: I wore this outfit yesterday for…. shopping. There, I said it. I’m a big fat cheater - I broke the no shopping ban for the 30 for 30. And you know what, I don’t feel bad about it! I got some pretty cool stuff, If I do say so myself. Including a floor length mint green 70’s dress and vintage navy wool shorts. I mean, I didn’t plan on breaking the rule. I went out for a quick trip to rite aid when I decided I really wanted some Starbucks. And to get to Starbucks I had to walk by Buffalo Exchange. So I told myself I would just go in and look around. But then something happened- for the first time I was finding some awesome vintage pieces in Buffalo Exchange. That never happens to me.  So obviously I couldn’t pass them up. You understand, right?

Day 23 - Holy Color!

Worn on February 23rd, 2011

tee and tights: Urban Outfitters, skirt: DVF (sample sale), scarf: NYC street vendor, flower pin: Anthropologie, shoes: Christian Louboutin

30 for 30 remix - day 23: I have to admit something - I didn’t have anywhere to go yesterday. But for the sake of finishing up this last week of the challenge, I put this outfit together for ya. And man alive is there some color here! Some may like it, some may not. But I love it. I would wear this much color every day if I had enough of it in my closet. 

P.S - I’ve thought about it and I’m 99% sure these are going to be the colors of my wedding. Or at least something similar to them.

P.P.S - If there is one phrase I say way too often it is “man alive!” Its such an odd saying. I mean, what does it even mean?!

Day 22 - This Is More Like It

Worn on February 22nd, 2011

sweater & skirt: Anthropologie, shirt: Urban Outfitters, tights: Target, boots: Forever21

30 for 30 remix- day 22: Well thats a lot better. I feel more me in this outfit! My last few outfits have been kinda blah to me. Not bad, just not up to par compared to the other outfits I’ve put together. Kelsey had mentioned to me in one of the posts about wanting each days outfit to be better than the one before, and how that doesn’t always happen. It is so true! Especially working with the 30 for 30 - not all of the outfits are going to be stand-out. But I feel I’ve gotten myself out of that little funk. I really like this outfit. Colorful and fun.

So, my outfit is up to my standards, I feel fully adjusted to being back home, and I even had my motivation back to get some new projects going! I made a few new bows (which will be up soon), made a few patterns for new clothing items, and even started a new ReStyle project (also up soon).

P.S - I would like to thank Danielle from Merriweather Council for including one of my bow headbands in her weekly favorites. Go check out her blog, and her etsy shop! And I would also like to thank all the lovely etsians who have included me in their treasuries lately. They are all gorgeous!

Day 21 - Minnie Mouse

Worn on February 21st, 2011

tee and pants: Urban Outfitters, tank: NY&Company, scarf: NYC street vendor, boots: Forever21, headband: made by me

30 for 30 remix- day 21: I was feeling a little better than I was on saturday. But I was still cold, and still feeling a little bit off from traveling. And I think my subconscious was reminding me of how I wish I was still in Orlando - I’m dressed a little Minnie Mouse-y… yes? I didn’t realize it until I looked at the photos. But who doesn’t love a little bright red and polka dots?
