30 x 30 | Day Ten

First, I have to share this cute story about Charles the Monarch, a labradoodle that was mistaken for a baby lion.  Here's a video of him:



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.

It is, in fact, day ten of the challenge meaning I'm 1/3 of the way there. Quick recap of the first nine days for anyone new to the party or not looking to click through pages.

30 x 30 challenge days one through nine.
What I can tell you after ten 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.
