30 for 30: number 2: a little 80s?

ok, here is my second outfit! i am a little confused of my on vibe, a little rocker chic or 80s? i'm not sure. but either way, it was comfy and i was able to de-layer when i had to! again, sorry for the pics, i am really rocking out this self timer. at least i made it outside today!

gotta love the ray-bans...

lucca's accessory of the day...her giant bone! 

so there it is. number 2. 

30 for 30: number 1: back to basics

alright y'all. here it is. my first outfit in the 30 for 30 remix. for this first outfit i went back to basics. skinny jeans, and a black tee. i did add a pop of color with my purple pashmina and a pop of print with my leopard print flats. please excuse my lack of make-up. i had a small allergic reaction to some face cream and i am avoiding all make-up until that gets cleared up! as for the hair, i have no excuses. also, sorry about the photos, i had to rock out the self timer. the hubby was working late, and it was dark out, so that is why i am inside.

simple black tee and skinnys. purple pashmina. leopard flats. 

close up of the accessories. 

and again. had to get a photo of the purple bling i got from my hubby on our wedding day!

lucca wanted to show off her outfit of the day. she decided to go with her brown leather collar with her name stamped in it. 

then she wanted to try on mom's pashmina for a pop of color. i think it looks good on her!

so that's it. number 1. and i have no plans for tomorrow. we'll have to see what i think of!

30 for 30

alright, here are my 30 for 30 choices. You will note a lot of solid color items. I noticed while choosing these things that I don't have many prints in my closet, especially my winter wardrobe. After the 30 for 30 is over and I can shop again, perhaps I should purchase some prints! With that being said, these 30 for 30 items don't include all of the wonderful way I can accessorize. Can we say pashminas?!?!? You will also note I picked a lot of things I can layer. The NC weather has been crazy lately, it has been COLD the past few days, but next week it is supposed to be 70! It is hard to pick 30 items with the weather, but I tried. Ok, enough chit-chat, here are my 30 items!

note about number 30: I have been going crazy looking for some new brown boots, frankly, these are falling apart and I am hoping for some new darker brown riding boots. i have not been able to find ones I like, however, i did find some at the nordstrom 1/2 yearly sale recently. buttttt...they didn't have them, but i bought a pair and they are trying to locate them for me. blah, blah, blah. anywhooo, if these new boots ever make it to me, i reserve the right to replace them with these on my 30 for 30. i'll try to avoid wearing these current boots (pictured) until i know if i have new ones or not!

so that's them. my 30 for 30. i'm nervous. let the remixing begin! 

p.s. i shop at LOFT alot. oops.
