Check out my "this is going to be SO easy" face. |
So I have finally decided that March is going to be the month I attempt the 30x30 remix challenge. For those of you who aren't
Kendi readers that means picking 30 items from your closet, and making 30 outfits with them (including
shoes peeps). Recently she's all about taking as much time as you need to do this and not piling on any other rules, but I think those rules are for the weak, so I am going with the OG (original gangsta') of 30x30 remix challenges and piling on all the rule fixin's. This just means getting it done in 30 days (one month) and no shopping is allowed for the duration of said month. I have loads of weddings/showers/parties...aka expenses coming up and I need to get a handle on my shopping addiction (I probably should have been checked in when I spent 50 dollars on
nail polish people...none of you called me out on that..but I forgive you). Wish me luck! Wait, hold on..I think I can actually hear my boyfriend rejoicing with glee somewhere out there as I type these words...weird. Anyway..I wont do full posts for every single outfit but I will be sure to post a recap at the end of my journey detailing the proof. I've got my 30 items all ready to go and this totally seems like it's going to be a breeze (hopefully I am not eating those words in a few weeks).
***Important side-note: I have also chosen to give up chocolate this month as part of my new years resolutions so if I seem a bit...psycho-whack-attack-esque that is probably why. If I really stop making sense on here, someone send a rescue team for Mike as something terrible might have happened to him in a chocolate/shopping withdrawal induced rage. Let's hope my will power has been hitting the gym and drinking protein shakes because I just saw a 30% off email from J.Crew factory and I am
not happy about it.
Oh wow, that sounds like a challenge! Giving up chocolate and shopping? I would for sure end up killing my boyfriend! Haha!
ReplyDeleteWell, I'm glad you feel confident about it, it'll be great if you can do it, I wish I could but I just KNOW I couldn't :(
This outfit is a great start, it looks absolutely gorgeous on you, I love the denim shirt and the coral together :)
Good luck with the challenge hunny!

ReplyDeleteHaha I did 2 30x30 challenges last year (tough girl rules, go!) for Winter and Summer, and they exhausted me hahaha. I have been meaning to go for it again, though, so I'm excited to see what you put together! :)

You can do it! Already looking fab! Mentioned you in my blog today! I love ya to pieces!! Have a great week! ;)
ReplyDeleteI feel like a chambray top is essential in a 30for30. They are just so dang versatile! You are off to a great start. You look fabulous.

I'd be much more worried about the chocolate than the 30-for-30. I did it last year and thought it was a blast. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteP.S. I could certainly go for a 30% off coupon to J. Crew outlet.
The coral looks really pretty on you, Habes!

I've always wanted to do the 30x30, but so far it's never fit into my life! I don't know if I have that kind of self-control. I do, however, love your outfit. That skirt is beautiful and I can't wait to see how you remix it!
ReplyDeleteI love this idea AND I love this look!!! This one of my faves that you've worn :)
ReplyDeletexxo, vanessa
This challenge sounds so cool, loving the denim shirt.
ReplyDeleteI love this outfit! I actually have it on my what to wear this week, but may get bumped to next week due to the winter is weather we are having and the springish weather this week.
ReplyDeleteI love the 30 for 30 remix challenge, you are inspiring me to do it myself! I tried once and it failed, BUT it was winter time. I feel like spring could work. :)good luck! I know you will do great!

lol this whole post is cute, funny + inspired... what an amazing idea with the 30x30... although i think i will see how it goes for you first before i try it myself lol. i love love love the chambray top, esp paired with that great color skirt. good luck giving up chocolate - i hear the first week is the worst and then it's all easy-breezy... i hope so, at least :)

your lips with that skirt is perfection!
ReplyDeletewow, a wonderful outfit!
ReplyDeleteand i love the fact you are doing this 30x30 remix, I'm a big fan of kendi's blog! I can't wait to see all your outfits! Perhaps I'll do it to this summer.

and p.s. I'm also having a shopping free month, I bought so much recently that I really want to force me to wear a bit the things I have before already shopping for new things... So I really can understand how you feel. I hope we'll both be able to stick to this resolution!
I haven't seen as many of these around anymore. I just gave up a Spring Break Vacation because I really want some candles. I am really weakwilled. I hope you fare much better!
ReplyDeleteI've been there done that!At the beggining it was really amazing but the last 3 days I just wanted to finish asap! lol :)

Nobody told me about the challenge. I completed one and tried another but got lost in the shuffle and only made it to 20. Great outfit! Love the lipstick color. Dawn Suitcase Vignettes xo drop in sometime. Thanks again for letting me use the sock bun vid.
