Happy Holidays

I had a really great Christmas with my family, and am still in the holiday mood now. Too bad all of the Christmas baking has been eating! Hope you're all having a good holiday/happy December.

30 for 30 Overview

Sorry for pushing this 30 for 30 overview so far back. I've had a a wonderful holiday so far and my mind hasn't exactly been on blogging, but I want to post this before I post anything else.

If you came late to this, the 30 for 30 challenge was started by Kendi of Kendi Everyday and the rules are to use 30 items in your closet to create 30 outfits. You can click here to see the 30 items I chose, and click here to see the 30 outfits I created in more detail.


This is where I would say "click for larger photo" but I'm really bad at the internet so uhm...sorry it's so small?

The easiest item to remix was my black skirt from Old navy, by far. I probably could have worn it for all 30 outfits.

The hardest item to remix was my leopard print City Chic dress. I'm not sure why, I thought my striped sweater dress ewould be harder to remix but I had such a hard time with that leopard print number.

My favourite outfit was number 18 - it was a totallty unexpected combination, but I loved the prairie-chic vibe.

My least favourite outfit was outfit number 22, but it was also an outfit a wore a lot so I felt it was important to share. Everyone has their casual days.

All in all, this challenge was a lot of fun. It made me be a bit more creative when creating outfits, and I found myself more comfortable phototgraphing and sharing "everyday" outfits. It was a lot of work and I found it to be a big time commitment though. I'm not sure if I would do it again, If I did it would likely be during the summer.

Colourful

I was a bit out of ideas for my 30th outfit, so I decided to be a bit silly and go for the fun art teacher/colourful flight attendant look. What do you think?



Wearing a sweater as a skirt won't really work in the long run, so I'm now on the look out for a striped skirt.

I'm so relieved to be done the 30 for 30 challenge! It was a lot of fun, but I was getting a bit sick of looking at photos of myself. I'm on my way home to Edmonton this afternoon, but I'll post a round-up of the challenge in the next few days. Thanks for reading & commenting during this little blogging marathon!

Cozy Chic

I absolutely love this cozy chic outfit. Nothing's better than a dress that looks great but feels like pyjamas.
