30 for 30: day 21 & day 22

day 21

 

 

When I put this together, this outfit seemed so creative to me, and here’s why, even though it may look like it only consists of buffalo plaid over a dress with python flats.

Within one outfit, I was able to incorporate the following:

- layers

- print-mixing (kinda)

- a statement necklace OVER a button-up shirt’s collar

- plaid for fall

- all within the confines of my 30 for 30 guidelines

Ta-da!

day 22

Nothing super-impressive on this day (as compared to Day 21), but not shabby - a white cable-knit sweater, striped pencil skirt, and booties.

Neutrals, stripes, taupe, white, and bare legs in a skirt with a warm sweater,

these are a few of my favorite things…

30 for 30: day 19 & day 20

day 19

 

  

 

Day 19 consisted of plans to run in the morning with my Dad falling through (his fault – he kept filling my wine glass the evening before when we had company), breakfast (mostly bacon), and then BBQ for lunch with good friends.

My photographer friend even took these outfit pictures for me, and that genuine laughing smile is courtesy of her husband making a joke.

day 20

 

 

  

Just some favorites – black skinnies and a chambray. IF I had a “uniform” of sorts, this would most likely be it: skinnies and a button-up shirt. Swap out boots, flats, or sandals for the appropriate season, and same with a scarf. Not sure if I’m ready to adopt something so official like that yet, though…

30 for 30: day 18

Day 18 was a really busy day. First, I ran a 5k with two of my friends, Chelsea, and Amanda.

Mid race potty break & obligatory bathroom selfie.

And then we ran to breakfast. We've started this "thing," where we run together, and then get breakfast afterwards. We're debating making shirts that say something along the lines of:

"Will run for breakfast"

or maybe

"Will run for bacon"

However, we did not run AFTER breakfast...

Then we drove to see my parents and pick up some things.

And then...

We got to see one of my best friends and her little guy. She came over for dinner and we all took turns holding him and bouncing him and swaying him. 

His cheeks are EVERYTHING.

And his thighs.

And his hands.

And his feet.

That's my Mom holding him. He's such a cutie-sweetie-pie who gives the best smiles :)

30 for 30: day 17

Happy Halloween!! We're really looking forward to trick-or-treaters at our house for the first time! We never got them at our apartment, so this is a "first" for us!

The Mr. brought the pup to my office on a Friday afternoon and he (Turbo) made the rounds to say hello - most people heard him before they saw him... We were planning to go watch a parade with the pup and were even on our way there on this lovely fall day when I got the wild idea that we should instead head to a patio for a beer.

Or five.

Whatever.

So, instead of watching a parade, we did some patio drinking and eating. We met up with friends, ate some fried food, drank some beers, and were really entertained by all the people passing by who wanted to love on The Turbs.

He lapped it all up - when people would leave after petting him, he'd bark after them as if to say "Wait, what? You've leaving? Have you SEEN how adorable I am with my tongue sticking out?! I mean, look at me." 

I'd thrown the sweater and jeans in my car that morning before heading to work, knowing that I'm always cold and that the sun would set while we were still out. I'm so glad I had the extra layers and pants - sitting on the patio got pretty chilly, but I was bundled up (a jacket AND another scarf on top of this leopard one). But I wasn't too cold, and wound up with another outfit to share on this here blog. Another two-fer, right there.

30 for 30: day 15 & day 16

day 15

Pairing this ikat-ish print scarf with this pink/blush-colored skirt never crossed my mind before this round of 30 for 30. But, fancy that, there’s a wee bit of pink in this scarf.
A neutral tee (gray. *swoon* have I mentioned lately that I love gray? Because I do), and booties.

Ta da!

day 16

  

 

Hey hey, what do ya know? Some print mixing. If you didn’t see this one coming from a mile away, well, then…you obviously can’t read my mind that well…

This is one of my favorite outfits I've put together - not just this month, but in the past several months. The print mixing, the colors, the accessorizing.

*pats self on back*

Florals&stripes&teal faux leather for the win!

30 for 30: day 14

candy corn earrings from my sweet godmother
just being festive, y'know ;)

Lacey sweatshirt over black skinnies. Oh, and sandals. It's been really warm for fall, so I've gotten away with sandals. And wearing long sleeves can even be a bit much some days. I'm not complaining thought - snowy mornings and freezing temperatures will be here soon enough. #eww
