30 for 30: Twelfth of Never Edition

So, I've been kind of off and on with the 30 for 30 Challenge. Hot and cold. Hit and miss. Today I think I'm wearing all 30 for 30 pieces.

This is a vintage beaded necklace with a bit of my pink office Christmas tree peeking out from the bottom of the frame.

My problem lately is that I have a lot of ideas for posts, and I start drafting them, then never come back. Oh what my blog could be! But I'll get to them. Soon.

Tune in tomorrow for the start of my Favorite Christmas Songs Countdown!

30 for 30 Day 12: Go USA!

I got these (footless) tights on clearance at Target. I thought the thready-things were all different colors, but when I put them on I realized they are actually just red, white and blue.

But I like them! Along with the tights, it's black dress, long gray cardi (I love this thing), boots and another one of my favorite pendants:

One guy's climbing on to the truck; one guy just fell off. What? Yeah, I don't know either.

This weekend and next week I have BIG PLANS to cook, bake, clean and reorganize. And nap. What are your plans?

30 for 30 Day 11: Spec-tacular

I wore my glasses today.

I don't love them, but I wanted to give my eyes a break from contacts. I'm thinking about getting a new pair.

Purple sparkle pants! And white turtleneck sweater.

Want to wear something flowy and comfy tomorrow, but have no idea what. Will definitely be changing my polish tonight.

I think one of my problems with the 30 for 30 project is that I didn't include enough separates. For instance, I only have one skirt and maybe three tops total? So the rest is mainly dresses. This is limiting my mix and match options. But I will carry on! Mostly!

30 for 30 Day 10: Old Faithful

This dress is such a friend.

It's a great background for accessories. It's comfortable and fits well. And I'm pretty sure I got it on clearance at Ross. Win, win, win win win. Long gray cardi, blue/gray tights, black peeptoes. Turquoise necklace, citrine ring.

Really need to do some laundry tonight if I want to stay on the 30 for 30 straight and narrow.

30 for 30 rolls on: Day 3!

This is actually an outfit I wear all the time. Black cotton dress (with pockets!) and long colorblock cardigan, both from Shade, the now-defunct "modest" clothing purveyor. Black tights, black pumps. Gray pearl earrings, picture pendant. I go back to this outfit often because I love it.

30 for 30 Day 2

I'm still not sure about this one.

I love this cardigan but I think it looks better with dresses. I can't tell if I like it over long sleeves or not. The little brooch I got at a church sale last weekend; the black bangle was a gift from my best friend's mom, the shoes I LOVE are by Sofft via 6pm.com, which, if you didn't know already, is the Zappos clearance site. 

This is definitely a combo I never would have put together if I wasn't doing this project. I was ready to cheat this morning--I was running late and getting frustrated--but I'm glad I stuck with it!

30 for 30 Day One: In a Room With Some Lace and Paper Flowers

Sometimes I like to play a game called "What Would Stevie Nicks Wear to the Office?" It's fun! I think she might wear this, but with a fringey shawl and some platform boots:

My first 30 for 30 remix: Carnival dress (DownEast Basics), long gray cardi (Target clearance), black tights, black pumps (not pictured because I did not give my husband appropriate photo instructions). Big brown plastic bangle (also not pictured, same reason), and this necklace, which was my grandmother's:
