Day 3 - Dots + Stripes and Black + White

January 3rd, 2011

tee: Urban Outfitters, cardigan and tights: Express, skirt: American Apparel, boots: Forever21

30 for 30 remix, day 3: I really miss taking pretty outdoor shots. The snow and rain have stopped, but it is still too icy for me to walk very far with my tripod. Ice + me = not a very good combination. I’m clumsy enough as it is. 

I was originally going to go all black and white with this outfit. But I figured it wouldn’t be very me without some color. So I’m glad I did it. I’ve also been crazy for polka dots lately. I’ve been eyeing a certain polka dot skirt (for after the  30 for 30, of course), and on my last trip to the fabric store I purchased 2 different polka dot fabrics. I seriously can’t get enough of it right now. And yes, I am wearing the same socks as yesterday. I mean, they were over tights both days, so its not that gross….  right?

Day 2 - Surprise!

February 2nd, 2011

tee: Urban Outfitters, skirt: Anthropologie, scarf: NYC street vendor, tights: Express, pin: Vintage (my mommy’s), boots: Vince Camuto

30 for 30 remix, day 2: Oh, snow. You really need to stop now. I think we have plenty of you. We are kinda running out of places to put you. BUT, at least Boo had a snow day today - so I had a photographer. Yaaaay. 

SO….. guess what?! We just found out that in two weeks we will be going to Orlando for a week! Yes, in the middle of the winter I will be heading to Florida. Fortunately, a good number of my items can eaaaasily work for warmer weather (thank you, me, for picking shorts as part of a winter remix). The only switch-er-roo I’m making is in the shoes. I’m going to forget the oxfords:

and add a pair of sandals:

So yeah, this remix just became a wee bit harder. But hey, challenge accepted. A little weather change can’t scare me! Harry Potter World, here I come…..

Day 1- Shorts and Snow Storms

-

February 1st, 2011

sweater: Gap via Buffalo Exchange, shirt: Zara via Buffalo Exchange, shorts: JCrew, tights: Anthropologie, boots: Forever21, necklace: by me!-  HollyDoll

The snow is coming down pretty good right now, and its a bit much for this little girl and her tripod. So indoor pictures it is. Hopefully I can get out to get some good winter wonderland photos sometime this week. 

But anyway… here we go! The challenge begins. I’m actually pretty excited for this 30 for 30. I think I’m kicking it off pretty well. What do you think? I went for it pretty good on the first day with a little plaid, floral, and leopard mixing. And shorts on the first day of the big snow storm? Eh, why not :) 

30 for 30 Winter Challenge Items

8 tops

1 blazer, 5 sweaters

2 dresses

8 bottoms (2 pants, 1 pair of shorts, 5 skirts)

6 pairs of shoes (2 boots, 2 flats, 2 heels)

See those little babies I so cleverly photoshopped in all the way to the right? They should be coming in the mail by the end of the week. I’m so excited!

I’m not going to do another outfit post before the 30 for 30 starts Tuesday. I’ve been way too comfortable hanging out and working in my sweatpants. But I’ll have another shop update tomorrow, and then tuesday the challenge begins! 

Turquoise and Scallops and Bows - Project ReStyle

January 27th, 2010

top and belt: Urban Outfitters, shorts: Urban Outfitters re-styled, headband and tights: Anthropologie

Worn For: Showing off my first Project Restyle item! So I finally got my butt moving and re worked these pants. They were fine pants, but I wasn’t completely won over by the way the fit me. So with a little snip snip and some fray check and I got myself a new pair of scalloped shorts! And for the cherry on top- I used the extra fabric from the pant legs to make little bows for the back pockets. Yes, I do like bows on my bum. 

^ I’m dancin’ ‘because I got new shorts. 

Handmade and Polka Dots

January 26th, 2011

cardigan: Victoria’s Secret, top: handmade by me- Hollydoll (sold!), pants and shoes: Urban Outfitters, Scarf: Target

Worn For: Ok, so I didn’t actually wear this today. I’ve been spending most of the day in my sweatpants working. But I just posted this top in my etsy shop and I really wanted to style it for a quick outfit post. And guess what? Before I could even get this post up, the top sold! Thanks Ashley!
