Red on repeat- 19 of 30




 
Blazer- Belks  option  option  option
shirt- Macys  option  option
skirt- Dorothy Perkins  option  option
necklace- gift  option  option
bracelet- Target  option  option
purse- JCPenney  option  option
shoes- DSW option  option   option

Something had to be repeated this week, so it's the red blazer. Otherwise, it would have been one of the tops. I'm far enough into this 30x30 that at least one or two items will be repeated in a week. I don't mind something like black bottoms, but repeating tops in a week still bugs me. Anyway, I still really like this outfit. It has stripes, a midi skirt and leopard! Why wouldn't I like it?

Camel, leopard and cobalt



 
Sweater - thrifted option  option
pants- Limited  option
 shoes- DSW option  option  option
purse- gift (Belks)  option
necklace -Belks option
bracelet- made by me
 
Sick of cobalt yet? Not me. Once my 30x30 challenge is over, I've got other cobalt pieces to wear. Today I'm pairing the sweater with the camel pants. This combo (top, pants, necklace, shoes) is totally new. I've never worn these pieces together before and may not have if I had not done this challenge for myself.

More mustard and leopard- 15 of 30

blouse -TJMaxx  option  option
pants- JCPenney
belt- Target  option  option
shoes- Belks  option
necklace- online boutique  option    option  option
watch- Fossil
sunnies- Loft
 
This is the halfway mark of my 30x30.  I'll admit I'm getting a little bored because I'm thinking  "I just wore these pieces last week."  However, I am still enjoying the ease of walking into the closet in the mornings knowing exactly what I'm wearing. And I'm entertained at the number of outfits I've been able to come up with- more than 30. I'll probably do a post on the "bonus" outfits sometime after this is over.
 
I pulled in just a little leopard this time with the belt.

Birds and booties take 2





 
Blouse- thrifted   option  option  option
skirt- Sears  option  option
booties- TJMaxx  option  option  option
neckace- Loft   option
 
Today I paired the bird print blouse with the grey pencil skirt for church. I wore the booties again too. I've accessorized with a new necklace that I purchased during a Loft 50% off sale. It's a perfect piece to have for fall. I'm glad I didn't restrict myself from shopping during my 30x30 because I would have likely missed the necklace.

Cobalt sweater and black midi skirt



 
Sweater- thrifted option  option
skirt- Dorothy Perkins  option option
booties- TJMaxx  option  option
necklace- gift  option  option
purse- JCPenney option  option
 
 
I'll just go ahead and put this out there- I was not very happy with this outfit after photographing it. Some things look better in my head than on my body. Even though this sweater is still a favorite top, I don't really like it with the skirt. I doubt I'll ever repeat it. Maybe a cropped or shorter sweater will work, but not this one. I like tucked in blouses better with this skirt.
 
 I had an anniversary reception to attend tonight and wanted to dress up but not wear a "work" outfit. This is where the 30x30 gets tricky for me and I feel limited in choices. This is what I came up with and I went with it.

Earthy



 
Blazer- old  option  option
blouse- old JCPenney  option
pants- Limited
shoes- Ann Klein via Belks
necklace- Target  option option
earrings- Limited  option  option
 
The remixing continues.... the blouse was seen on day 4 and the pants were worn on Monday. I'd rather not repeat pieces in the same week, but not repeating tops in a week is the best I could do.
 
Happy Friday. Hope you've had a great week!

Blue, grey and a pop of red



 
pants- Belk option  option
belt- thrifted  option  option
purse- Nine West  option  option
shoes- Ann Klein via Belks
 
For a work outfit, today I'm pairing the shirt from day 1 with the pants from day 2. So far I'm not bored and still enjoying the ease of the 30x30 challenge. Have you ever done a 30x30 remix? I'd love to hear what you took away from it. Did it change your style or thought process about outfits? I'm definitely focusing on accessories more.

Leopard, grey and mustard



 
Blazer/skirt- Sears option
blouse- TJMaxx  option  option  option
shoes- DSW option
necklace- Forever21 option
purse- Belks  option  option  option
 
I love grey and mustard (or yellow) together. Aside from wearing this blouse with teal, grey is the only color I've worn it with. I need to expand this blouse's wear, thus it's in the mix for my 30x30. I'm loving the leopard with this also. I wouldn't normally pair leopard with grey, but the mustard is tying it together nicely.

Cobalt and red



 
Blazer- old- Belks  option option
sweater- thrifted  option  option
pants- JCPenney option
necklace- gift option  option
shoes- Ann Klein via Belks
 
It should be a given that red and blue go together but I had never thought about cobalt and red until I mixed these pieces from my 30x30 choices. So I warned you that the remixing would begin- you saw the sweater on day 2 and the pants on day 4, but I'm sure you would agree these are totally different outfits.

What unexpected color combinations have you come up with lately?
