Isn't he the cutest?
Things that weren't cute: the original outfit I pulled on today. I think being in a blah mood definitely was part of my feelings but let me take responsibility and say I have no idea why I thought wearing a cardigan under a cap sleeve dress was going to be a great look. After changing out of the monstrosity, I still wasn't in love with the outfit but mediocrity is okay when you're not leaving your house all day.

This is the first time I've worn these two items during this challenge so the bar is low. Let's see what happens in the next twenty days.

- There are at least two weeks of outfits in that polka dot chambray shirt. I had to mentally stop myself from going back to it today. Once my shopping ban is over, I will most certainly be investing in another chambray button up. In the meantime, prepare yourself for an onslaught of outfits including this one.
- Doing a challenge like this forces you to wear things in ways you normally wouldn't think to - I'd never worn a tank as a vest, dress as a blouse or layered dresses before this.
- I don't need to shop as much as I do (this is something I will deny post challenge).
- And an honorable mention bullet for anyone considering a 30 x 30: don't include shoes or outerwear. I didn't include accessories and I think that these items fall into those categories. I'm iffy about blazers, personally, I think I'd include them in the count, but I think picking out 30 items from dresses, skirts, pants, blouses and shorts is enough.
I love your outfit today, Nicole!! And I also love your little recap from the past 9 days! I want to do one 1/2 way through (so only a few more days!). I definitely agree about not including shoes. I broke the rules today and wore a blazer that's not included in my original 30x30 pieces but i counted it as outerwear ;)

Excited to see your recap in a couple days ;)
DeleteGreat recap, I agree with the need to not shop as much but I still bought tow skirts at Target this week on clearance and a dress at Goodwill. I have no willpower....

I think you've been doing such a good job of remixing your clothes! I think the chambray with the teal cardigan is my favorite so far :)
ReplyDeleteDefinitely one of my favorites! Thank you so, so much for your sweet comments :)
DeleteOMG THAT DOG. THAT DOOOOGGGGGGG! Oh AND my aunt just got me a Charming Charlie necklace for Christmas - I'd never heard of it!! But your necklace is cute, and my necklace is cute, so I feel like they must have great stuff and I need to find one NOWWW.
