Day 16 - On the Road

November 24th, 2010

dress and sunglaasses: H&M, tee: Gap, tights: Express, belt: ?, flats: Chanel, purse: Prada

30 for 30 remix- day 16: Earlier in the day, I tried to take my own pictures. But it was soooo incredibly windy that my camera wouldn’t stay still. Needless to say, it didn’t work out so well. So when boyfriend got home we packed up the car and snapped a few more before hitting the road. They aren’t so glamourous with that truck right behind me. Sorry, we were anxious to get going. But hopefully I’ll be able to get some really good pictures while I’m home!

Anyway, this is what I’m wearing for the long car ride home. Its perfect because once it gets later (and I start to get uncomfortable), I can take off the belt(s) and it is like wearing a night gown. If you can recall, this dress is actually a maxi dress. And I say belts because I am wearing 2. One underneath this little “peplum” i’ve created to hold to dress up higher. And then the floral one on top to (kind of) create the peplum effect. 

And this is me thinking the wind is hilarious, apparently:

Days 14 & 15 - Where Did All My Sunshine Go?

      

      

November 22nd, 2010

dress: Piko 1988 (purchases at a boutique in Buffalo, NY) , tank: Franchesca’s Collections, belt: ?, tights: U.O, boots: Miu Miu

30 for 30 remix- day 14: Seriously, I want some sun. Gloomy days make for blah photos.

I thought this outfit was a little out there. The tank over the dress? I wasn’t so sure. And boyfriend definitely wasn’t so sure. He thought it was weird, fo sho. But then I put the purple tights on and I was sold. I prefer kooky, anyway. 

P.S - HP & the Deathly Hallows is just as good the third time as the first two. I’ll keep you posted on how the 4th goes. And yeeeeah, I went to see it all by myself. I’m that person. 

      

November 23rd, 2010

cardigan: C&C California, bee sweater: U.O, jeans: Gap, shoes: Steve Madden, belt: vintage fabric tape measure

30 for 30 remix- day 15: I was kind of bored with this outfit when i went to take the pictures. I mean, its ivory over ivory. And black. Woo hoo. So I belted it with my grandma’s old fabric tape measure that I had been using to work. Hey, at least its handy. I’ve actually accessorized with it before - I wore it as a headband here. It’s fun. 

Oh! and I learned how to do a fishtail braid for the first time! Its not the best, and incredibly messy, but I’m excited to know how to do it now. I’ll definitely be trying to make it better. 

      

Day 13- Another One Bites The Dust

      

      

November 21st, 2010

tank: Anthropologie, shirt: Forever 21, Cardigan: C&C California, jeans: Gap, boots: Frye

30 for 30 remix- day 13: Today was just a weird day for photos. I tried 3 different spots, tried playing with settings, but I was just not happy with any of them. Eh, just one of those moods. 

We’re not doing much today. It’s Sunday - it’s lazy day. I’ve never layered this shirt like this, with a sweater over top. But its really warm and comfy. I might put my pajama pants back on with it (shhh, I didn’t say that) and I’ll be good for lounging the rest of the day. It’s a sewing, fajitas, and Dexter kind of night. 

P.S - it feels so much farther into the 30 days than it actually is. We’re only about half way through? Man alive. 

      

      

Favorites This Week

I’ve been trying to keep up with all my favorite bloggers, and check out as many new friends as i can from Kendi’s remix list. Heres a few of my favorite outfits that I saw this week:

   

The Daybook, day 7

-Sydney is adorable. Her posts always make me laugh. And I want this vest in the worst way.

Closet Confection, day 12

-Kendra, a fellow Tumblr-er, always pops up in my dashboard and I love to see her outfits. She always looks so put together and polished. Love the grey and gold together here!

      

Jen Loves Kev, day 7

-Jen talked about this outfit mismatching. I LOVE it. I wouldn’t have even thought about it mismatching at all! I guess I just like mismatched things. I would wear it in a heartbeat. Such fun, bright colors, and some polka dots to top it all off!

What Would a Nerd Wear, day 11

-I have a thing for color. And by looking at this post, It looks like this week its purple. Or at least purple tights. Tania from What Would a Nerd Wear pulls it off so well. I love how the scarf completely transforms the outfit, and it is like having a whole new dress. 

    

Simply Sunstar, day 7

-I discovered Heather over at Simply Sunstar through Kendi’s remix list (I’m trying to check out as many as I can!). This.is.adorable. That hat? Adorable. Those tights? adorable. Everything together? Adorable. This is definitely something I would wear. 

Kendi Everyday, day 7

-And lastly we have Kendi. We all know Kendi. We all know how cute she is, I don’t have to tell you. She actually was not happy with this post. She didn’t like her hair, she thought her shirt was sloppy, etc. But I absolutely love it. All I see is one of the cutest outfits ever. Easy and simple, yet so chic at the same time. And the color of those tights? To die for. 

Day 12 - I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

      

      

November 20th, 2010

sweater: Anthropologie, tank: Franchesca’s Collections, black jeans: Gap, boots: Frye, bag: Fossil

30 for 30 remix: day 12 - Sooooo, yesterday I felt like poo and stayed in my pajamas all day. But thats ok, because next week there is a day where I have 2 outfits in one day to make up for it. 

Today we went to see Harry Potter again. Yes, again. And I’m planning on going again monday. I just can’t help it- I become obsessive when it comes to these movies. So this is my movie, pizza, and a hockey game outfit. Ta daaaaaaaa. 

      

Day 11 - If I were a Harry Potter Character, I'd Be Luna Lovegood

      

      

November 18th, 2010

tee and scarf: Gap, skirt: Anthropologie, socks: ?, boots: Miu Miu, sunglasses: U.O

30 for 30 remix - day 11: It is November 18th, November 18th. I have been waiting for this day for a long while now, and I’m sure a bunch of you have too. Tonight, I am going to the midnight premier of Deathly Hallows Pt 1. YAAAAY! I have been going crazy all day. It is like I’m on a sugar high. Nothing can ruin today. 

So something fun for an exciting day. Bright colors, polka dots and bows!

      

      

      

Day 10 - Oh Look, Another Sabres Outfit

      

      

November 17th, 2010

tee: Sabres Store, yellow shirt: JCrew, pants: Gap, wedges: Mix NO. 6

30 for 30 remix - day 10: It was incredibly windy today, which did not make pictures easy. And I have this hilarious picture of a man walking by and me realizing he was there just as the photo snapped. It’s pretty funny, maybe I’ll post it later. 

Yellow, blue, yellow, blue - It’s in my blood. I love my Sabres, and its also fantastic that their colors are so awesome. It makes incorporating fan apparel into everyday outfits very easy. But really, the star of this outfit is my one accessory. It’s a little embarrassing, but you guys, I have a confession (see last photo)…..

      

      

My name is Holly. I am 23 years old. And these are my silly bands. 

And now you know. 

Day 9 - I like Comfy Clothes

      

November 16th, 2010

hat: U.O (I think?), sweatshirt: Victoria’s Secret, skirt: Forever 21, tights: Anthropologie, boots: Frye

30 for 30 remix -day 9: I just wore this sweatshirt 2 days ago, but it is soooo comfy and I would wear it with anything. i had an appointment to wait for with the gas company and some work to do at home. So obviously I went for loose and comfortable again today.

I included 2 dressy dresses in my 30 items, but I wish I only included 1. I don’t have that many special occasions to wear that many dressy things in 30 days, and I don’t know if I’ll even get around to wearing both. One would’ve been enough. I wish I had another sweatshirt or tee shirt. I wish I  wish I wish.

      

      

      

Day 8 - Primary

      

November 15th, 2010

cardigan: JCrew, top: Victoria’s Secret, belt: ?, pants: Gap, shoes: Mix NO. 6

30 for 30 remix - day 8: I waited too long to take my pictures today. boo. Not only that, but I waited until after dinner to take them… big mistake. I had my dinner all over me. Luckily, you can’t see it in the pictures. 

Sooooo it’s pretty colorful, to say the least. When I put on the red with the yellow, I figured I would see how many different colored items I could actually get in one outfit without looking too crazy. So, I added the blue. I even have some orange in there (under the red, not visible). The other day I went with mixing prints, today I went with mixing colors. 

I don’t know, even with all the color, I still feel like something is missing or off. Or maybe it is just the pictures I don’t like. What do you think?
