30x30 Remix Challenge : Day 13 & Day 15

Half-way through the 30x30 Remix Challenge! I've got two days to show you, and then I'll be all caught up! Whoopee! Let's start with Day 13, Friday:

What I'm Wearing:

12) Black peplum shirt- Kohl's

15) Tribal print skirt- JC Penney

28) Yellow ballet flats- LOFT Outlet

LOFT Outlet necklace and Kohl's belt (This is actually the shirt it came with. I wear the belt all the time with everything except this shirt!)

Sometime I'll get a close-up of the shirt. It's not a true peplum, but it has the same flared shape at the hem, because it has a bunch of pleats at the hips. Let's make it clear: Peplums do not look good on me, but I got around it this time by tucking the shirt into this skirt!

Day 15:

What I'm Wearing:

10) Chambray shirt- LOFT Outlet

15) Tribal print skirt- JC Penney

28) Yellow ballet flats- LOFT Outlet

Kohl's cami, LOFT Outlet necklace, Kohl's necklace, and Kohl's belt

Very similar to what I wore Friday. When I stumble upon a look I like, I just don't see the point in wearing anything else! Both these outfits have a safari feel, don't they?

Inspired by Film (Kinda) // Day 2 1940s

I wore this for all of 30 minutes yesterday (30 minutes spent figuring out how to use a backyard planter as a tripod and walking back and forth from camera to garage wall to take selfies). The remainder of the day's events included painting a bulletin board and then watching 3 children for 7 hours, activities which call for something other than pearls, a flared jacket, and a nice (borrowed) black skirt. I can't wait to wear this sometime when I can feel fabulous.

I do wish I could pull off a sophisticated expression.

Black and camel houndstooth flared jacket: Made by me

Black trumpet skirt: JC Penney (belongs to my sister)

Tiered burgandy tee: LOFT Outlet

Faux pearl necklace: Etsy (vintage)

Faux pearl and diamond earrings: Claire's

The dark, almost drab colors and all-business look of this outfit remind me of the WWII era. I intended to do a Google images hunt and find a film to pretend this outfit was inspired by, but I was so late getting this up, I didn't really want to take more time doing that. (I'm one of those home school grads who at the age of 22 can still count the real films she's seen on her fingers and toes. Now accecpting movie recommendations!- but only if they're reeeaaalllly clean and can keep me riveted to the screen for the entire duration of the film).

Linking up to Bramblewood Fashion, where you can see what this is all about!
