I really liked all of these with the exception of #22: the cargo skirt-meets lace dress hot mess. :)

Two cute work outfits and two casual ones. Score!

Even bigger score: only 5 more to go…….stay strong, remixers!!

pink patterned shirt—H&M, remixed
black capris--NY&Co, remixed
peeptoe flats--Madden Girl via DSW, remixed
mint necklace--Anthropologie, remixed

Oh, we are getting close!! So close that I went to the mall today to “look for part-time jobs.” Which I did—and to glance around to plan my shopping post-challenge. When I have a second job.

Such a simple outfit, but I love these pants with these peeptoe flats and I wanted to wear this top again before the challenge ended. It was a cute but comfy outfit for that mall run and going to the grocery for the first time in WEEKS.

Wow! It’s been a long time! Somehow, I forget to post for a day or two and then it just gets away from me. Steel yourselves for a bit of a slew of posting….

striped shar-bit tank—Express, remixed
teal buttons cardigan--Limited, remixed
jeans--Joe's Provacateur via ebay, remixed
gladiator platforms--Simply Vera, remixed
pink pearl necklace--J.Crew, remixed

So, remember when peg-rolling your jeans was totally awesome in 6th grade and now people are doing it again? I tried and failed, my friends. Or else it’s just not a look for me.

Not a planned outfit, just something I threw on to go work at the coffee shop around the corner for a bit, but I’m okay with this disheveled look and the random heels. And I still love this cardigan—she will be around after I’m sick of all of the other 30for30 items, for sure.

22 & 23 of 30

July 27, 2010

black lace dress—H&M, remixed
green cargo skirt--J.Crew, remixed
boat shoes--Sperry, remixed
striped belt--J.Crew, old
green fedora--Eugenia Kim for Target, remixed

I have to say, I just really didn’t like this outfit. I felt like I was trying to hard to make pieces go together that just really didn’t work and I felt stumpy in a cargo skirt and loafers.

So let’s just skip right ahead to today, shall we?

July 28, 2010

navy blazer—LOFT, remixed
gold tee--NY&Co, remixed
white pencil skirt--Limited, remixed
gladiator platforms--Simply Vera, remixed
aviators--Vegas knock-offs, remixed
earrings--Target, old

There, that’s much better. Granted, this could have used some polish (I mean, don’t I even own an iron?!), but overall I liked the idea and effect.

white blouse—H&M, remixed
blue tube dress--J.Crew, remixed
beige platforms--BCBG via DSW, remixed
fish pendant--Frog & Toad, remixed

Having worn this skirt previously as a boho, long skirt for a picnic and outdoor concert, I wanted to make it into an office-friendly look this time around. I usually feel like these platforms are a little out-there for work, but with the high-waisted and flowy skirt, somehow I felt like they worked.

I kept thinking I needed more accessories: a bigger necklace, a belt, something! Simplicity won out, however.

Saturday morning we went to the Blessing of the Fleet, a RI tradition where the bishop says a blessing over all the boats for a productive fishing season and then there’s basically a parade on water. A bunch of commercial fishing boats and private yachts float by in the harbor decked out in different themes. My favorite was probably the one where a couple had just gotten married on the bow and the guys were all wearing tuxedo t-shirts and swim trunks. :)

We spent the rest of the afternoon at the beach next door and then came back to town for dinner and playing cards & Bananagrams on the porch with friends. And drinking too much wine, naturally.
