If you are new to my blog, welcome! This is an update of the 30 in 30 Challenge, where you pick 30 items from your closet and remix them for 30 days. You can read more about it here!

I know what some of you may be thinking. "But you started this in mid April, how do you only have 9 outfits?!" Honestly, I'm very bad at remembering to take pictures. And I haven't been sticking to my 30 in 30 (horror of horrors!) What had happened was...the clothes I picked for the challenge are geared towards Spring, and it got really cold there for awhile!! So I couldn't wear a lot of my outfits! But now that Mother Nature is back on track, so am I. And I will try to be more diligent about capturing these outfits as well! 

You can Link up with what you're wearing today (or in general) over **here** at The Pleated Poppy!

30 in 30 Remix Update: Days 1-4

If you are new to my blog, welcome! This is an update of the 30 in 30 Challenge, where you pick 30 items from your closet and remix them for 30 days. You can read more about it here!



Day 1

{off to a bright start!}

top: Strawberry's

pants: Banana Republic

bag: gifted, from MJM Shoes (my "commuter" bag...post coming soon!)

necklace/earrings: no idea...very old

 Day 2

{dress down day}

top: Banana republic

jeans: thrifted

necklaces/bracelet: gifted, made in China (isn't everything?!) (they're magnetic!)

Day 3

{my favorite outfit to date...and hair}

top: The Limited (on super sale, $7)

cardigan: gifted, but I think JC Penny

skirt: Banana Republic Outlet

flats: Charlotte Russe

necklace: gifted, from Mexico

Day 4

{can you tell I didn't feel like going to work today? Also, C needs to work on his photo skills- I swear it didn't look this bad in person!}

top: Burlington Coat Factory

pants: same as above!

watch: gifted, Lucky Brand

I'm noticing this makes it seem like I own a lot of stuff from Banana republic. Though I *love* their stuff, I think this is all I own from them. Just seems like a lot- I guess I counted their items as classics that would match a lot of stuff for this challenge! Also, I forgot to take pics of Day 2, so I just put the outfit back on for the pic! And Day 4 was taken at the end of the day, after commuting home and getting rained on- I was a bit grumpy. Not that that's a valid excuse, but still....

Sidenote: How do you like my cubicle/desk area at work?! Definitely did not mean to get that in the pic!

Still feeling great about the challenge! I'm actually looking forward to getting dressed in the morning (except for yesterday...oh well)! Need some better photographers and poses though! I don't know how those with OOTD do it! Mad respect!

30 in 30 Remix Challenge!

I am finally participating in the 30 in 30 Remix Challenge- so excited! Here are the rules from Kendi Everyday:

The challenge starts tomorrow! I will try to take pics and upload somewhat consistently as I do the challenge. Like Kendi mentioned, the challenge doesn't have to be done in 30 consecutive days, but I'm going to try to! I really like the idea of using what you already have and "shopping your closet." And anything to help me at least curb spending for a little bit would be great! Will you join me? If not, what do you think about this idea?!

Wish me luck!
