This 30 for 30 Challenge is coming at a perfect time, as Georgia's weather has dropped and I have metaphorically packed some of my floral dresses away (meaning they're just shut off in my mind). Which means some of the items you'll be seeing in my remixes are either items occasionally worn or never seen before on this blog. Okay, here we go:
8 Dresses:
Top row: Hannah Hardy (thrifted), J. Crew, Liz Claiborne (thrifted), Donna Ricco (thrifted). Bottom: Banana Republic, LOFT, French Connection,
Banana Republic.
Banana Republic.
Believe it or not, I didn't choose all dresses for this challenge (I know, I'm just as surprised). I went with a darker color palette, but I feel like these would be pretty versatile with some of the other items. The only new item here is the grey slate dress, which was one of my early Christmas presents from my friend Marilou.
6 Tops:
Top: Leslie Fay (thrifted), homemade gingham (thrifted), Jewel Queen (thrifted); Bottom: Arizona Jeans Co., Banana Republic (from Marilou); Grand Canyon store (borrowed from dad).
From l. to r.: Kasper, Old Navy, Ann Taylor, LOFT.
A few newbies here and a couple are ones I've found over the year but haven't been able to pull out. The Jewel Queen sequin top I've worn before, but I think it'll be the piece de resistance of the challenge.
4 Bottoms:
I'm hoping I'll utilize these more in my wardrobe and get me more comfortable with wearing separates. I'm iffy about the orange skirt, but I needed more Thanksgiving-y colors in there. I also reluctantly threw in a pair of jeans, but I wanted to be prepared for anything in this challenge.
7 Sweaters:
Top: Target, Ralph Lauren, Ecru (thrifted);
Bottom: Brittany (thrifted), Faded Glory, Merona, LOFT.
Bottom: Brittany (thrifted), Faded Glory, Merona, LOFT.
Lots of reds and neutrals here. What's new here is a tomato red band-style jacket that I thrifted a year or so ago and have never had the courage to wear...until now.
5 pairs of shoes:
Top: Minnetonka, Merona, Target; Bottom: Ipanema, Aerosoles.
Easiest items to assemble, as I am not much of a shoe person. I feel like I've got the basic types down, though.
And finally, a clarification: I work ahead of schedule. Because of my rather punctual nature (hi, fellow Capricorns!) and the unpredictable weather here, I often take my photos a couple days ahead of when I post them. I do this because almost all my photos are taken outside, and I need a couple days of planning to know what to do and set up on a bad weather day. I like being prepared, what can I say? So this means that in real time, I'm already on Day Three of the challenge, but of course, I won't be posting until the challenge starts tomorrow.
