When:
Monday, July 13th…Day Five of 30 for 30 Challenge
Where:
Work, dinner, kicking butt and taking names. Ok, not really, but it would be cool if I did right? I really wanted to throw this striped shirt into the 30 for 30 mix since it is so versatile, but I don’t know what possessed me to wear it with a bright, printed, pink skirt. Because bright printed pink skirts aren’t exactly versatile. So the plot thickens and the challenge gets harder each day. In the word’s of Dori, ‘Just Keep Swimming.’ Or Running, or whatever.
What:
18. Striped Tee – Old Navy
17. (oh to be 17 again…) Skirt – Etsy
16. Heels – Paris Hilton via heels.com of course! (get yours here!)
Necklace – F21 (It’s back here!)
Belt – The Limited
When:
Day Four of the 30 for 30 Challenge, Saturday, July 10th
Where:
Lunch with the hubby, shopping for the house, trying to get hub’s broken Iphone replaced (no luck there). 19 items left to go in 26 days…that can’t be THAT bad, right? Just beware you will be seeing a lot of these white jeans in those upcoming 26 days. Well at least those days not labeled M-Th, as that would get me fired and I would be remixing 30 pajama’s in 30 days! Perhaps that will be my next challenge? Are you participating in Kendi’s Challenge? Leave me a comment so I can check out your remixing skills!
What:
20. Orange Blouse – Banana Republic
19. GAP Jean Jacket (over 10 years old now and still in style!)
Remixed – White Banana Republic Jeans
Remixed – Cynthia Vincent For Target Wedges
Earrings – F21
When:
Day Three of 30 for 30 (aka Friday, July 9th)
Where:
Casual Friday at work, rug shopping, dinner and TCBY with the hubs, shattering hubs new Iphone4…the usual Friday evening events. Well except that whole phone shattering incident, I promise it was an accident. Three Days in and three more items down. No need in fancy schmancy color photography for this black and white look. Not normally something I would post on this here bloggie, but trying to play by the rules ‘ya know. I probably could have taken a little more effort, but it was Friday and everyone at work was on vacation…so why waste valuable fashion on an empty office?
What:
White Jeans – Banana Republic (get them here…but beware of the sizing)
Sandals – GAP
Black Tee – J.Crew (get one here)
Necklace aka the new love of my life – F21 (sold out)
What I Want to Buy (but can’t ‘til August):
Jeggings! (probably because of this post on high.heels!)
And these purdy peep toe booties from heels.com!
When:
Day Two of 30 for 30 or just Thursday
Where:
Work. Moving right along to day two and four more items crossed off the list. At this rate I’ll be wearing this outfit again next Thursday or wearing yoga pants to work. I thought about leaving out the cardigan since I only actually wore it IN the office to keep warm, but that wouldn’t be in the true spirit of the challenge now would it? So eight items down, 22 more left to go.
What:
26. Cardigan – J.Crew
25. Wedges – Cynthia Vincent for Target
24. Blouse – F21
Sunnies – Target
And since I am on 30 day shopping restriction (gosh, I haven’t been on restriction since high school!), I plan to share my fave items with you guys each day so you at least someone around here is doing some shopping!
GUESS Chief Heel – $110 @ heels.com
And here I thought the LuLu’s sale was only through June, but it doesn’t end until the August 2nd! So go on and get you some pretty things with offer code luckybreaks4 and I will too come August 1st 
This dress would be sooooo pretty for a summer wedding:
Or this pretty dress will take you from summer to fall seamlessly:
When:
Day One of Thirty (aka July 7th, 2010)
Where:
Work. Let’s just be honest…I am winging Kendi’s 30 for 30 Challenge. I may be a planner by day, but planning is not my forte. I stood in my closet on Monday staring around and wondering how the heck I was ever going to choose 30 of the many items in that black abyss. So I ran away. And I painted the dining room. Then I decided I couldn’t give up that easily, so with that I am ‘winging’ the 30 day challenge. I will just wear items from my closet until I reach the 30 threshold, then I shall see if I can remix those items in the nature of the challenge. I must warn you though, this could get ugly, very, very ugly. Stick with me though, k?
While the challenge also includes 30 days of no shopping, I must call a mulligan for July 31st, aka my 10 YEAR high school reunion. Yep, folks I am old. Just go ahead and call me grandma. You can’t really expect that I would remix something for my high school reunion could you? So a new dress and shoes, but that.is.all. If I fail you all get a discount from heels.com! Ok, ok you win, you get a discount anyways…just enter PinQCFriends at checkout for 15% off a $50 order. Just because I am not shopping doesn’t mean you can’t right!?
On another note, check out that shiny piece on my right arm…you see that? Just happens to be that Tiffany bracelet I thought I had lost a few weeks ago. Low and behold they were zipped up tightly in the pocket of a pair of running pants. Go figure. Happy days are here again!
What (the countdown begins):
30. Top – Forever21
29. Skirt – J.Crew
28. Wedges – Report
27. Jacket – an oldie but goodie
Accessories (so glad these don’t count towards the challenge, I’d be done in two days flat)
Earrings – F21
Belt and Sunnies – Target
