30x30 Remix Challenge : Day 16

What I'm Wearing:

3) Blush pink lace tee- LOFT Outlet

18) Knit denim skirt- Made by me

24) Lavender crochet cardigan- LOFT Outlet

30) Brown flats- Target

Vintage pearl necklace, LOFT Outlet bracelet, and a gifted umbrella

Yesterday we had a  fun photo shoot in the rain. It was a great excuse for using umbrellas as props, trying out the wet hair look, and jumping in puddles (which I'm really far too old for. None of those photos will ever make it onto this blog!). My sister-photographer gained some experience with low-light photos and some of the different settings on the camera too. (Except for a day or two, she's taken all my pictures for these 16 days. She managed to take these while cradling an umbrella in one arm to shield her camera; she's a trooper and an awesome sis!)

What do you think of wearing two lacy things together? I started with the cardigan, which has a lacy, open crochet pattern that looks like leaves, and then I pulled some other items in soft, pastel colors to accompany it. Only there wasn't much selection in my 30 items, so this is what I ended up with! I don't love it, but it works OK.

30x30 Remix Challenge : Day 9

Yesterday I was off work most of the day. Since I was just lounging around the house, I took the opportunity to experiment with my 30x30 items. The pictures were taken by the 9-year-old that my sister babysits. (She, the 9-year-old, suggested as tactfully as she could that it would "make more sense" with jeans.) I've seen long simple tops over straight skirts before, and with what I had, gave it my best shot. Maybe the colors should be more similar or more neutral, or the hem shouldn't be so uneven, or maybe I just need to be taller? Any suggestions other than jeans?
