30 for 30 - 22/30


The Usual Suspects:

* Art graphic tee
* Yellow skirt
* Black heels

The Accomplice:

* Giant crystal ball necklace, Torrid, $8

The skirt SHRANK! But, like, hardcore shrank! It doesn't help that it's wrinkled (sorry, I took the pic at the end of my day)...I was super excited to wear this really bright outfit, but I was kinda disappointed in this look...

Thoughts?

30 for 30 - 16/30


The Usual Suspects:

* Gray Boatneck Top
* Yellow Skirt
* Black Ballet Flats

The Accomplices:

* Black Opaque Tights, Avenue, $8
* Pepe necklace
* My nighttime driving glasses (I have some eye deformity where my pupils are constantly dilated, so the barrage of light at night makes it hard for me to drive without my super-anti-glare glasses...otherwise, thanks to PRK surgery, I have perfect 20/20 vision)


I LOVE this skirt, and it makes me very happy that I decided to give Alloy another shot...I literally own NOTHING ELSE that's yellow, and I usually shy away from tucking things in, and yet I LOVE everything about this skirt! Yay for trying new things and finding out you love something you never even thought you'd like!

None, the skirt needed no help standing out LOL

I wore this on our anniversary...My husband needed some time to get used to the combination of the bright yellow skirt with my ultra-reflective white legs, but in the end, he really liked the outfit overall ;)

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!

Alloy...we meet again...

After the last debacle, it was going to take quite a bit to get me to shop at Alloy again...so when I looked at their clearance section and saw this cute yellow skirt for $9.99, I couldn't resist!



I also bought this nautical top...not to match them (I don't know if that would work...hmm...) but just cuz I thought it was cute and a nice "toe-in-the-water" if you will, regarding taking the plunge into horizontal stripes (supposedly, a Big Girl No-No, as if vertical stripes will magically make me look as if I've lost 80 pounds)


And, last but not least, the original Alloy purchase...at this point, if they get it right, it will have cost me $42 to buy this shirt instead of the listed $26 (between shipping and return fees, etc) so let's see if Alloy gets it right this time!
