Watch Out, the World's Behind You

Shirt: Old Navy, $8 // Jeans: Urban Outfitters, $30 // Belt: Thrifted, $1 // Boots: Forever 21, $30

My weekend style doesn't get much love on the blog. While I tend to put thought into nighttime looks, they don't get documented, and my daytime garb is all about lazy comfort. Now that I'm featuring as many outfits as possible during the 30 for 30, I'm putting forth a bit more effort. Sunday's look is simple and casual, but I felt pulled together nonetheless thanks to the sleek black jeans and bold turquoise belt.

Decked out in my army green pants and lace-up boots, I felt ready to conquer my Saturday. The lovely neck bow, compass necklace and pug tote kept it sweet.

The necklace and tote are both apt gifts from dear friends. One combines my love of gold jewelry and my bad sense of direction, and the other allows me to proclaim my love of black pugs to the world.

Success! I managed to achieve both of my goals from yesterday. Namely, a pretty dress and lots of light. I will admit to using the old commuter's trick of switching my shoes upon arrival at the office. You gotta do what you gotta do.

Now that it's been a few days, I feel like I'm getting into the groove of the 30 for 30. While I didn't put much planning into my selection of garments, I brainstormed a big list of outfit ideas. Not all of them will be winners, but I'm looking forward to the journey. Hopefully the habits of remixing and posting more often will stick long after the end of the month.

Oh, and thank you to my co-worker for taking these shots! You're lovely and talented and should take my picture everyday. Hehe.

Happy Friday! Hope everyone has a fabulous weekend. 

As Pretty as Possible

Sweater: Banana Republic via Plato's Closet, $4 // Shirt: TJMaxx, $7 // Jeans: Forme, $20 // Boots: Forever 21, $30 // Necklace: Forever 21, $9

Some swear by tights during the winter. While doubling up two pairs usually does the trick, I much prefer jeans when it's bitterly cold outside. Despite the casual base, I tried to add frilly little details to make the look a bit more dainty. Alas, the indoor picture was a compromise, too. Here's hoping I can get away with a dress or skirt tomorrow! And a photo with decent light would be great too, but I'll try not to get my hopes up too high.

After two days at home, I finally ventured out this evening, and this is what I wore. This outfit never would have made it onto the blog if not for the 30 for 30. It may be practical, but it's certainly a step up from sweats. And it's my first official 30 for 30 look, and that has to count for something. Here we go!

Selecting my 30 items was a much more daunting task than I had anticipated! I went from trying to carefully plan to just trusting my gut. I feel like I might have too many bottoms and not enough tops, but only time will tell! I figure creative use of accessories can make up for any shortcomings.

Red as Strawberries in the Summertime

Shirt: Old Navy, $7 // Skirt: Ann Taylor, thrifted, $1.50 // Boots: Vintage, thrifted, $2.50 // Belt: Vintage, thrifted, 50 cents // Necklace: Forever 21, $6

Here's Sunday's outfit featuring a few items from my final shopping trip before the 30 for 30 kick-off. It was a modest but successful jaunt to Salvation Army. I walked away with the red skirt, lace-up boots and brown belt seen here, as well as some t-strap heels, peep-toe flats and another belt... all for $8!

I will share my 30 items with you later today and my first 30 for 30 outfit tomorrow. We are expected to get 9 - 13 inches of snow today, so I don't anticipate changing out of my pajamas.
