30 for 30: Week 2

As promised, here are the outfits from week 2 (plus some since I have moved reveal day to Sundays).  I am getting to the point in the challenge where I've worn every top at least once and most of my bottoms as well.  I will be really glad when this challenge is over.

Day 8

On the eighth day, where I shared pictures and details from our Fondue Party, I was wearing this bright little outfit.

Black and white checkered skirt, thrifted

Black button down blouse, New York and Company

Pink cardigan, NY&C

Black nylons, JCPenney's

Knee high black boots, Aldo's

Black long sleeve shirt, Forever 21

Blue blouse, Anthropologie

Fossil watch, Macy's

Black Mary Jane's, Payless

Day 17

This picture was out of focus, which I didn't realize until today when I went to post these photos.  No matter, on Friday I shared my dream outfit to wear to the Oscar Watch Party we are attending this evening--you know, what I'd be wearing if money was no object and I wasn't in the middle of this challenge!

Skinny jeans, American Eagle

Red long sleeve shirt, Forever 21

White cardigan, Old Navy

Black Mary Jane's, Payless

Black necklace, Forever 21

Day 18

Another Saturday that I spent mostly in sweats until we went to dinner at Schlafly Bottleworks to celebrate J's birthday (it's on Tuesday but with a big bar exam related test next Saturday, we celebrated early since he will likely be studying on his actual birthday--boo!)

Denim leggings, Walmart (not pictured)--I couldn't bring myself to call them jeggings seeing as I got them from the Mart!

White tank, Old Navy

Red cardigan, NY&C

Silver flats, Payless

Day 19

I woke up early this morning to make lemon scented olive oil muffins for a brunch we were attending (pictures and details to follow) and have plans to make jalapeno-cheddar cornbread muffins (ditto for photos and details) for our Oscar party this evening.  

I'm not sure about this outfit, I sort of feel like a bumble bee but it works I guess.

Skinny jeans, American Eagle

Black long sleeve shirt, Forever 21

Mustard yellow ruffled top, NY&C

Silver flats, Payless

Quick Observations:

• I did better accessorizing this week than I have previously.  
• I found some jewelry I forgot I owned, which is always a bonus.
• I am noticing a trend on the weekends where I don't get dressed until late afternoon.  Not going to lie, I sort of love this!
• I probably could have included shoes in my 30 items (especially if nylons and leggings weren't included) since I wore the same silver pairs of shoes a lot this week.
• I probably could have included fewer skirts and pants than I did, especially since there are still a few in my closet I have yet to wear.  Right about now, I would love to have a few more tops or cardigans in my 30 for 30 rotation!

So there you have it, another week (plus a few days) of the challenge.  If you made it through this lengthy post, my hat is off to you!  As for me, I am off to go make some cornbread...
