Day 2

Do you see that on our mountains? SNOW. Yep, Utah has decided its had enough of this fabulous Fall weather. I knew it was too good to be true. In Northern Utah, our Fall season lasts about 2 weeks, this year it lasted 5 weeks, I guess I should be happy with what we got! However, this means I am going to definitely modify my items, I'll reconvene this weekend with my swaps.
Today's outfit: Lane Bryant tunic, Target cardigan, Alfani Skinny slacks, Seychelles flats, Kenneth Cole necklace.

Here is a closeup of the necklace, its one of my favorite pieces of jewelry.

And a close up of the ruffles on the shirt. Its actually pinstriped. I know, the first pic is so bad you can't really tell!

And one more just to make fun of myself! Don't ask what is going on with my hands, my husband and I were just talking about how much I HATE pictures. I'm telling you, this is a very hard experience for me!

So one thing I learned today, I REALLY like this outfit. I've never worn this combination before and I probably would have never made the connection. Kendi was talking about breaking rules in fashion and that is what I felt I was doing. Blue and white pinstripes? I would have never paired it with black before. Maybe white pants, or jeans, or even colored pants (mustard yellow, red) but never black, but again, I learned I really like how this looks!

Hey, Day 2 and this has already paid off! What have you guys discovered so far? Any unexpected likes/dislikes? Too soon to tell?

Happy Remixing!

Day 1

I'm going to start this off with an apology: My pictures are horrible! Unfortunetly I don't see them improving as by the time I get home from work/school its pitch black outside and we have to settle for horrible indoor lighting and iPhone pictures.

Second, It snowed today, SNOWED people! I might have to make some adjustments to my 30 picks, I knew it might snow towards the end of my 30 days, but not on my FIRST day! Oh boy, I'm in for a cold month!Close up of Ann Taylor Loft skirt.

I'm going to wait out the snow for a few more days and see if its the real thing and going to stick or if its just a false alarm, I should know by the end of the week and if so, I'll have to make a switcheroo on some clothes before I wear them!

Happy remixing!

My 30 Items

Wow, last week was a complete wash! I didn't get one, single picture! By the time I got home from work and school it was about 9 pm each night. I am going to hit rewind and start again tomorrow. So I guess for me, it will technically be 5 weeks! Yikes!

I spent the whole weekend doing laundry, ironing, and "officially" picking out my 30 items. They are all sorted and folder in a laundry basket. It makes me kind of sad that I can fit my entire wardrobe for the next month in ONE laundry basket! Or maybe I'm just crazy, but I'm having major anxiety over just 30 pieces! Ha ha! My poor clothes are going to feel so lonely and neglected!

Ok, without further ado, here are my 30 picks! (Sorry about the bad picture quality, that is what I get for taking pictures at night.)

Depending on the weather, I might switch out a pair of shoes for another pair of pants. I am a little hesitant about my choices because the weather is so crazy here in Utah, I am sure we'll have snow before my 30 days are up, so I will most definitely be wearing dresses and skirts in the snow! Oh boy!

Items that don't count, accessories, jewelry, belts, tights, leggings (snow), and undershirts (tank tops).

Good luck to everyone on this journey and I can't wait to get inspiration from other remixers!

30 for 30 - A la Kendi Everyday!

I've been following Kendi's blog for quite some time now, and it sounds like she's getting ready for her 3rd Remix! I've sat in the bleachers for the last two rounds, but I'm finally ready to make the plunge!

If you don't know what 30 for 30 is, check out Kendi's summer edition here.

Basically, you pick out 30 articles of clothing including shoes, and remix those same items for 30 days. Kendi, throws in no shopping, and for the sake of my back account I'm doing the same!

The shoes are a killer for me, so I'm not quite sure yet, if I am going to modify the rules for my own game and say just clothing. I own a gazillion pairs of shoes and I'm not sure if I can limit myself to 3-4 pairs! We'll see, I'm still on the fence, and I have until November 1st to decide!

So, who wants to join in on the fun with me?!?!
