30 Day Challenge: Day 29, Shirt Dress

I do not know why I bought this dress; the color is so unflattering. It is pretty much the same color as my skin. But, this is a challenge, so I am trying to make it work. My goal was to not let the dress be directly next to my skin, hence the addition of the chambray shirt and grey leggings. I am on the fence with this one...

Key Pieces:

• Dress: Gap 2010
• Shirt: G.H. Bass 2010
• Boots: Lucky, via Rue La La
• Watch: Alfresco Unique Group, via Etsy
• Flag Necklace: Jewel Mint

30 Day Challenge: Day 26, Mod

I think I have only worn this dress once besides today. For some reason I think it is too serious or boring or something, so I decided to fix that. Layering the plaid shirt underneath makes it feel a little more fun and casual. My haircut plus the dress is sort of reminiscent of a flight attendant from the 60's, but I'm ok with that!

Please note: when I got inside I had to put on black leggings because it is SO COLD today. The outfit looks good with leggings too :)

Key Pieces:

• Dress: Mango 2012
• Shirt: Americal Eagle 2009
• Necklace: American Eagle 2009
• Bag: Dooney and Bourke vintage
• Boots: Frye 2012

30 Day Challenge: Day 25, Black and White

This is another Spring dress that works well in the Fall. All I needed was leggings and boots. I added the jacket for some extra polish. I feel like my wardrobe has doubled now that I am stretching my warm weather clothing into cooler weather.

Key Pieces:

• Dress: Tommy Hilfiger 2011
• Jacket: Lucky 2007
• Leggings: H&M
• Necklace: C Wonder 2012
• Boots: Frye (last year's splurge!)

30 Day Challenge: Day 20, Rainy Day

I have made it to Day 20, and it is a gloomy one. At least I am warm and comfortable! The color of this scarf brightens up the grey and navy. I have had these rain boots for years, and they still keep my feet dry.

Key Pieces:

• Jacket: Exprit 2011
• Sweater Dress: Old Navy 2013
• Scarf: Brooklyn Industries 2012
• Rain Boots: Tretorn via Zappos
• Unbrella: free from Google event

30 Day Challenge: Day 12, Preppy Yellow

This is actually a dress layered with a sweater to make it look like a skirt. I am starting to really like print mixing. As long as you use different scales of print/pattern it can look really good!

Key Pieces: 

• Sweater: Gap 2011
• Dress: Old Navy 2013
• Boots: Guess 2011
• Bag: Dooney and Bourke vintage

30 Day Challenge: Day 10, Field Jacket

These boots seem to go with everything! They were a good investment from a few years ago. I usually don't like to show this much leg, but the boots make me feel more comfortable. This dress was 20 bucks at a street fair, FTW. You can't go wrong with an olive field jacket.

Key Pieces:

• Jacket: G.H. Bass 2013
• Dress: street fair 2013
• Belt: Madewell 2012
• Boots: Guess 2011
