30 for 30 Remix: Days 1 and 2

2 Feb By

Choosing 30 items that would cover 30 workday outfits was a bit of a challenge for me because half the time I work from my home office dressed  in pajamas casually and half the time I’m out at meetings in decidedly more formal business attire.  It also doesn’t help that my beloved North Carolina can’t decide what season we’re in (68 degrees outside on February 2!).  I focused on layers for the weather and neutral bases for business-wear so hopefully I’ve covered my bases.  Here are my first two outfits

Day 1: Strategy meeting in DC.  I combined  items 8, 23, 24 and 26 for this outfit.  Layers for uncertain weather and my favorite black heels for running through the airport!  I added a scarf tied infinity style.

Day 2:  Day in the office (read: 77 conference calls).  Best to be comfortable and since it’s so warm here today, I stopped at just one layer on top.  This combines items 9, 22 and 28 with  my rice bead necklace (thanks in-laws!) and my charm bracelet (thanks Dad!).

I promise I’ll get better pictures from now on!

Remix!

2 Feb By

For the next month I’m participating in the 30 for 30 Remix hosted by my blog friends Vanessa  and Kara.  This fashion challenge goes like this:  Pick 30 items from your closet and for the next 30 days remix them into different outfits.  I can add in accessories like jewelery, scarves and belts that don’t count towards my 30 items to keep things interesting.

The challenge actually started yesterday, but I was running from hotel to meeting to airplane and didn’t have time to actually get my outfit posted.  That post is coming soon (along with today’s outfit), but for now check out the 30 items I chose to remix!

1)Jacket-Brooks Brothers; 2) Wrap Dress – Ann Taylor; 3)Tee – Old Navy; 4)Cardigan -Velvet 5)Turtleneck – Target; 6)Tunic Sweater – Local Boutique; 7) Shirt – Land’s End; 8)Sweater – Ann Taylor; 9) Top – Old Navy; 10) Cardigan – Free People; 11)Cardigan (Target)

12) Cape – Joseph A; 13)Blouse – Target; 14)Sweater – J.Crew; 15)Sweater – Ann Taylor; 16)Top – The Limited; 17)Skirt – Brooks Brothers; 18)Skirt -Ann Taylor; 19)Jeans – Lucky Brand; 20)Pants – Ann Taylor

21) Sweater – Ann Taylor; 22) Jeans – Gap; 23)Jacket – Don’t Remember!; 24)Pants – J.Crew; 25) Boots – Aerosoles; 26) Heels – Via Spiga; 27)Kitten Heels – Nine West; 28) Flats – Rocket Dog; 29)Flats – Bandolino.

30?

You’re probably wondering where number 30 is.  Me too!  I just couldn’t decide on a 30th item, so I’m going to leave this as a wild card.  I am certain that at least once during the 30 days, I’m going to be at a loss for what to wear and at that point, I’ll add in number 30.  So excited to start mixing and matching!
