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?

30x30 Remix Challenge : Day 5 & Day 6

Here's a flashback to what I wore Thursday and Friday of last week.

Day 5:

What I'm Wearing:

8) Green pinstripe shirt- Walmart

20) Boyfriend jeans- LOFT Outlet

25) Light blue cardigan- LOFT Outlet

28) Yellow ballet flats- LOFT Outlet

Vintage pearl necklace and butterfly necklace made by me (You can see them better below)

Day 6:

What I'm Wearing

2) White tee- Marshall's

20) Boyfriend jeans- LOFT Outlet

25) Light blue cardigan- LOFT Outlet

28) Yellow ballet flats- LOFT Outlet

Vintage pearl necklace, LOFT Outlet bracelet and butterfly necklace made by me

Yep, the outfits are nearly identical. But Thursday a front blew through with some cooler than expected weather. I spent most of the day at home in my warm pajamas and then my workout/housecleaning clothes, and I only had to go to work in the evening to process a shipment, so it didn't matter too much what I wore. Since I wore them for less than half a day, it only seemed right to wear them again the following day.

30x30 Remix Challenge : Day 14

What I'm Wearing:

5) Burgandy tiered tee- LOFT Outlet

12) Black peplum shirt- Kohl's

14) Blue pencil skirt- Made by me

29) Wedge sandals- Famous Footwear

LOFT Outlet pendant

I took these pictures today before work and before the rain started pouring down. Does anyone else love storms as much as I do? I can't stand drizzly days, but when the rain is pounding the roof, with sharp cracks of thunder and sizzling lightning... it's blissful.

I came so close to cheating today. None of the shoes I picked for the challenge did anything for this outfit. I tried all of them on at least once, and finally went with these. When all else fails, I like at least to look taller!

30x30 Remix Challenge : Day 12

What I'm Wearing:

22) Denim vest- ?

27) Maxi dress- Made by me

30) Brown flats- Target

LOFT Outlet tooth necklace

This dress is a delight to wear (if you couldn't tell!). Spinning around in it was a little awkward; generally I'm not a twirly girlie. But if anything makes me want to twirl, it's this! Even walking down the stairs, I like the feeling of it floating and swishing around my ankles. The skirt of the dress is a circle skirt, which I sunburst pleated and gathered, so it has a lot of fabric and wonderful movement.

The lining goes just past my knees, by the way. I don't want anyone to think it's one of those peek-a-boo chiffon skirts. Although I need your opinion on that. I don't go around telling everyone who sees me that there's a lining under this that goes down to my knees.  Normally, I don't twirl around in this or lift up the skirt to any immodest heights, but even so, someone might see that the fabric is semi-sheer around my ankles and get the idea that it's see-through all the way up even though they don't actually see anything. Am I overthinking this, or would it be best to extend the lining all the way down and make sure it's obviously there?

Advance warning: I'm going to try to catch up on my 30x30 posts today. I still haven't posted days 5 and 6, yesterday or today! I think I'll lump those into two posts; I don't want to clog up your feed too much!

30x30 Remix Challenge : Day 4

I wore this last Wednesday, when I had to babysit. I might benefit from trying to look more intimidating when I watch children, but I like to wear bright, playful candy colors and bring out the kid in me. I've never met a little girl who didn't want to try on this necklace either; some little boys like to play with it too; amazingly it's still in one piece.

What I'm Wearing:

4) Red peasant tee- LOFT Outlet

19) Tiered brown skirt- Target

30) Brown flats- Target

LOFT Outlet tassle necklace

Speaking of kids, has anyone not seen the Kid Snippets videos on YouTube? Some are funnier than others, but I thought the latest one was hilarious. I can totally see kids I know saying these things.

30x30 Remix Challenge : Day 11

What I'm Wearing:

3) Blush pink lace tee- LOFT Outlet

16) Floral skirt- Kohl's

28) Yellow flats- LOFT Outlet

Thrifted enamel bangle (not included in the 30)

It was an absolutely gorgeous day. We're marching steadily into the long Texas summer, but we got a blip of cooler weather today, along with clear blue skies and pure sunlight.

Rejoice in the LORD, O you righteous: for praise is comely for the upright.

Psalm 33:1

30x30 Remix Challenge : Day 10

Day Ten- That means we're 1/3 of the way through the 30x30 Remix Challenge! I'm starting to fall back on a formula here. A blue skirt or dress + the robin's egg blue cardigan + the yellow shoes. You might not notice it now since there are a few outfits I haven't posted yet, but days 5 and 6 as well as day 3 last week looked a lot like this.

What I'm Wearing:

11) Gray beaded tee- LOFT Outlet

17) Zebra print skirt- Made by me

25) Light blue cardigan- LOFT Outlet

28) Yellow flats- LOFT Outlet

LOFT Outlet tooth necklace and blue bangle
