30 For 30 - 19/30

The Usual Suspects:

* Gray Dress
* Black Cropped Pants
* Black Heels

The Accomplices:

* Sparrow belt, Torrid, $22
* Hedwig ring

I love belts. That's one thing that I've learned about myself throughout this challenge! LOL When I picked this dress/top for the 30 items, I was expecting to just wear it on Thanksgiving because I couldn't imagine how else I'd wear it. Well, this look is very similar to that one, but with the help of a different belt and different shoes, I funked it up a bit and it's a different outfit!

30 For 30 - 17/30

The Usual Suspects:

* Black Blazer
* "The Who" Graphic Tee
* Black Trousers
* Black Booties

The Accomplice:

*My black and crystal bracelet


This was my attempt at using a blazer to "sophisticate" an otherwise casual outfit...I see a lot of fatshion bloggers (and fashionistas in general) that LIVE in blazers, and whether its the weather in Miami or just lack of fashion sense, you just don't see that here...In any case, I think it looks cute, and it makes me more excited to pair the blazer with maybe a dark pair of jeans, to REALLY get the blazer-meets-casual feel...

The 30 for 30 OFFICIALLY ended today, now I'm doing my best to get together photos of everything so I can post them. I don't want to barrage the blog with 13 OOTD posts in one day either...I'm planning to milk these OOTD photos as long as I can LOL

30 For 30 - 3/30

the camera cut part of my head off my favorite photo, so I finished the job!

The Usual Suspects:
* Black Blazer
* Striped Blouse
* Black Trousers
* Black Die-Cut Heels (4.5 inches! It's a miracle my flip-flop-wearing behind didn't break an ankle! LOL Not even CLOSE! :pats self on back:)

The Accomplices:
* Pink Pin, came with the blouse
* Owl Double Ring, Torrid, $8 on sale

Also, check out the cute detail at the bottom of the shoes! It's a little dirty after walking around in them all day, but each sole has a paisley design engraved in and a little metal doll badge attached (they're Dollhouse brand, isn't that adorable?)

I also decided that to replace item #16 on the list, I'll just substitute another pair of cropped jeans...they're not cuffed like the first ones are, but they're the same wash and the same length, so I figure it's not SUCH a digression...

30 For 30 - 2/30

so my hair looks batshit crazy. Nice. Thank you, Miami humidity!

The Usual Suspects:
* Gray Shrug
* Nautical Tank
* Gray Skinny Jeans
* Blue/Yellow/White Wedges

The Accomplices:

* Belt, Kohls, off a top
* Sunglasses, Bass Pro Shops


It has come to my attention (mostly because I intended to wear them today) that the cuffed jeans (item #16 on the list) do not fit properly, as they are low-rise, which I didn't notice when I bought them, and my booty just don't do low-rise...so I'm not sure if this is cheating, and I really hope it isn't, but I'm going to have to replace that item with another...otherwise I'll be using just 29 items, because those suckers just DO NOT fit. I'm not sure what I will replace them with yet, I'll have to see if I have any other bottoms I can replace them with...

I think I kinda really like this outfit...mostly because I'm proud of myself for wearing things in a way I never would have before...

Yay!

30 For 30 - 1/30

Please excuse my demonic red eyes and the dirty-ass floor...

The Usual Suspects:
* Khaki Trench
* Blue Khaki Pants
* Dark Gray Boatneck Top
* Black Ballet Flats

The Accomplice:

* "Gold" Owl Necklace

I just realized, now that I'm itemizing what I wore, that I was in head to toe Old Navy today...literally! It's just like high school! LOL

I actually went and made a spreadsheet like Kendi suggested (lol, I love lists!) but I'm leaving it open for the most part because I want to be able to mix it up and change my mind...I'm realizing that the hard part of this isn't remixing, as 30 items are more than enough...it's coming up with remixes that aren't BORING!

Also: Three new tops and a dress came in today, and I'm expecting 3 pairs of boots this week. ACK! I wish I had accounted for them in the 30 items, I knew they were coming! Now I have to wait a month to wear them all out, boo! (See? I'm already extra-appreciating my closet! After just one day! LOL)

OOTD 10-27-10

Sunglasses $20, Bass Pro

Long Sleeve White Button-Down Blouse, $20, Old Navy 

Black dome button waistcoat, £27, Dorothy Perkins  

Black Trousers, £16, Evans  

Wedge Sandals, $22, Payless

I recently discovered my "Life Number" in numerology is the number 8...

This number indicates strength in executive leadership, business and management...based on that, I was going for super-duper-business look ;)

Also, people with a Lifepath 8 tend to either succeed above and beyond, or fail miserably at everything they attempt...we're all-or-nothing types...so since there's no gray area, just black and white, I decided to incorporate that into the outfit.

Can you tell I'm into astrology/numerology? :)

OOTD 10-8-10
