30x30 Challenge: Day #5, Peaches & cream garnished with mint

My favorite 30x30 outfit thus far! This challenge is much harder than I thought it would be. Looking back (ha, it has only been 5 days), I have probably only been satisfied with 3 of my outfits.

30x30 Challenge: Day #4, I look like...a dumpling

You all might be tired of this navy blazer by now, but I just can't help to wear it because it's a bit oversized, so I can fit any sweater inside (not just some dinky thin one), comfortably. Since my office is one of those eco-friendly green buildings, it's always freezing inside! I always have to be wearing a thermal (which I don't count as part of my 30x30 by the way) and even an oversized irish wool grandma cardigan. While this outfit looks ok, what I wore out to brave the storm did not...

30x30 Challenge: Day #3, Regrets?...maybe

As I was on the elliptical this morning doing my morning workout, I played virtual dress up in my mind. I wanted to make smart choices for my 30x30 challenge  so I wouldn't run out of steam later. I think the wool check mini goes well with the burgundy pullover, and both are pieces I can easily remix later. I have no idea what inspired me to pull out my scuba blazer, which I bought a month ago and have only worn once. The blazer fits a bit big, and so I've shied away from wearing it. I guess I was subconsciously trying to force myself to find ways to make this work. When I looked at myself in the bathroom mirror at work, I wasn't sure if I liked this pairing. It might be a bit too much? Clashing colors? I'm not sure...still trying to make a judgement myself. Thoughts? I would love to hear your honest opinion, really!

30x30 Challenge: Day #2, Back to the grind

Weekends always go by so fast, don't they? Right when I feel like I'm really enjoying my weekend, it's Sunday night and the grind is about to start all over again. What is keeping me going these days is knowing that a three day weekend is coming up soon, and with that, plenty of festivities!

30x30 Challenge: Day #1, Superbowl sunday



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!

Review: J.Crew Spring 2013 Arrivals, Part 1


After the crazy 50% sale last month, J.Crew is back with their new arrivals this week! Although I didn't plan on buying anything after going overboard last month, I thought it wouldn't hurt to stop by just to take a peek! In fact, when sales roll around again, this will probably be beneficial to J.Crew since I won't be ordering multiple sizes just to find my perfect fit (or so I tell myself).

Red and burgundy...again?


Happy Friday! I know that burgundy has been everywhere this winter, but I just can't help but love it. I think it pairs so lovely with navy, and thus it's a match that I just keep going back to.
