I'll just go ahead and put this out there- I was not very happy with this outfit after photographing it. Some things look better in my head than on my body. Even though this sweater is still a favorite top, I don't really like it with the skirt. I doubt I'll ever repeat it. Maybe a cropped or shorter sweater will work, but not this one. I like tucked in blouses better with this skirt.

 

 I had an anniversary reception to attend tonight and wanted to dress up but not wear a "work" outfit. This is where the 30x30 gets tricky for me and I feel limited in choices. This is what I came up with and I went with it.

The remixing continues.... the blouse was seen on day 4 and the pants were worn on Monday. I'd rather not repeat pieces in the same week, but not repeating tops in a week is the best I could do.

 

Happy Friday. Hope you've had a great week!

For a work outfit, today I'm pairing the shirt from day 1 with the pants from day 2. So far I'm not bored and still enjoying the ease of the 30x30 challenge. Have you ever done a 30x30 remix? I'd love to hear what you took away from it. Did it change your style or thought process about outfits? I'm definitely focusing on accessories more.

I love grey and mustard (or yellow) together. Aside from wearing this blouse with teal, grey is the only color I've worn it with. I need to expand this blouse's wear, thus it's in the mix for my 30x30. I'm loving the leopard with this also. I wouldn't normally pair leopard with grey, but the mustard is tying it together nicely.

It should be a given that red and blue go together but I had never thought about cobalt and red until I mixed these pieces from my 30x30 choices. So I warned you that the remixing would begin- you saw the sweater on day 2 and the pants on day 4, but I'm sure you would agree these are totally different outfits.

What unexpected color combinations have you come up with lately?

I'm over a week into my 30x30 challenge and I haven't repeated clothing items or outfits yet (other than shoes). The remixing will likely start tomorrow, so stay tuned.

 

This is a very simple outfit, but sometimes it's good enough. Simple gets overlooked when you are trying to come up with a great outfit to blog about, but really works well. Sweater + slacks+ layered necklace+pumps= dressed for work.

I had this leopard and orange combo in my head all last fall but never got around to wearing it. So I threw the orange skirt in the 30x30 mix as a wild card and so I could wear this outfit. The leopard shirt is a great piece to have in the mix because leopard is a great neutral and pairs with almost anything. Leopard can be worn year round but I'm more drawn to it in the fall.

 

I wore the skirt to church and for the rest of the day I wore the blouse with white jeans and the bow flats. I love a versatile piece of clothing.
