Okay, I did it. I actually got 30 items together, took pictures of them (albeit,
some most of the pictures are terrible because I took them at 1 AM the night I left for vacation), and started planning my outfits. I may take longer than 30 days. I may end up throwing this whole idea away. I don't know how it will end up, but at least I'm already doing better than the last time I attempted this!
So, here are my selections (warning: lots of pictures in a row because I don't quite know how to do a cool collage-y thing. Double warning: they might be crooked, out of alignment, etc because Blogger and I are fighting right now):
|
Black Dress |
|
Purple Tunic |
|

Navy Blue Sweater |
|
Gray Tunic |
|
Black and Gray Striped T-Shirt |

|
Tank Tops and Layering Pieces |
|
Black Cardigan |
|

Everything is pretty self-explanatory except for the tanks/layering pieces and pants. Those items include:
1. Leopard Print Sleeveless Button Down
2. White Sleeveless T-Shirt
3-5. Lace Tank Tops in White, Black, and Gray
6. Black Leggings
7. Jeggings
8-11. Skinny Jeans in Denim, Black, Maroon, and Gray
12-13. Tan and Green Cords
I decided not to count shoes as part of my 30 since this is the first time I'm doing this. Also, since it's January, I may end up wearing the same 2 pairs of boots the entire time anyway! I also tried to stick to a monochromatic color palette (mostly blacks and grays), but this seems pretty boring. I reserve the right to swap something out as long as I haven't worn an item already. I'm not doing a shopping ban during this project (in fact, some of these things were chosen because they were recent purchases, mainly from Old Navy), but I am resolving to purge and declutter my clothes, especially since I'm getting married and moving in March. I definitely want to have a cleaner slate to start the wifey lifey (I've used this rhyme before, but I'm not sure whether it was here or on another blog I have. Regardless, I like it, so it stays).
There are some pieces on here that I've never worn (not just the items with tags on them), and there are pieces that I've worn in real life but not on a work day, so they haven't made their way to the blog yet. I'm excited to see if I can incorporate any weekend wear into the work week. I'm also excited that I've finally finished this posting!
Loving so many of the pieces that you picked out Amber! Just started following you so I can see your outfits!
