30 x 30 | The items

I wrote in my last post about how I'm participating in the 30 x 30 challenge that Sam is hosting.  The basic gist is picking 30 items and only wearing outfits composed from the bunch for 30 days.  I'm using it as a way to get back on track with my clothing budget and not shopping the whole month (we'll see how it goes).  I'll still be mixing in all my various accessories during the month.

So here are the 30 items I chose along with a description and links where available :)

  9. I actually considered doing this challenge but decided against it. Mainly because I don't put a whole lot of effort into my look during the week and didn't want to have to think too hard about what to wear to work. ;) Looks like you've gotten off to a good start. Good luck!
