Today (well I guess by the time I post this, yesterday) I started Kendi's 30x30 remix challenge. I haven't quite figured out which 30 pieces I will be wearing for the month, but since I've worn these, today, I have at least 5 things figured out (Cheating a bit...not counting accessories...). I will post up my selected garments by the end of the week, I promise!

If you follow other East Coast bloggers, you would probably know about the crazy weather we have been having. Cold, warm, rain, snow, just everything! I know, I take all my pictures in my room, but as soon as I get home, I just want to throw everything off and change into my pajamas.

When I first started to going to work luncheons, I had no idea what to wear. My first time, I wore a black suit just to be safe, which was fine but also quite boring. I hoped to take fashion cues from other women in my industry, but their tastes were a bit mature for me. As I go to more of these functions, I am slowly learning how to style an outfit that is age appropriate, fashionable, but yet professional.

I have always been tentative to wear green and red together, especially if Christmas has passed. I think today's outfit is appropriate for both the holidays and daily life because the green is more on the olive side. I am extremely glad that winter in NYC has taken a hiatus, as exploring the city can be so miserable when its freezing cold.

I purchased my first pair of colored denim jeans early last spring, my last semester of college. I wore my first two pairs, baby pink and baby blue colors, quite often, but never wore this pair, since it was a size smaller than the other two. Now that I fit into them, it is the middle of winter, and probably out of season as well. Sigh. It's okay, this electric coral pops against the edgy, dark colors that surround me in New York City.

The following are two outfits I wore to work yesterday and today. I actually work in a pretty corporate environment, but I am lucky enough to have superiors that do not demand for us to be in business formal attire daily. As a recent graduate, I am having trouble determining what is and what isn't ok in the office, as well as finding a cohesive style. They say that, if you have to think about it, then it's probably not appropriate, but I think that's just for more skimpier wear.
