How To Dress Like An RA

…I’ve got to live up to my reputation as the only Apparel major on staff, right?

The first (read: easiest) week of the 30 Day Challenge is hereby finished! You can see the first day’s outfit here.

The hardest part was participating in the Theme Days they added to training week. I had to skip Pajama Day for obvious reasons, but have managed to work the others so far!

Here’s me prancing around RISD…many thanks to my lovely friend Kara for following me all over campus taking photos :P

Day Two

[H&M shirt worn as scarf. Carrying: RA binder & an old issue of Vogue]

Day Three

[My personal favorite so far- this was for "Wear Your Clothes Backwards" Day. When I read it, I was like...have the prostaff been reading the blog? Haha. I loved the way the gray zip-up looked backwards and don't know if I would have thought of it otherwise! Also, rain boots for Hurricane Earl...]

Day Four

[Let the restyling begin! The skirt is the only new piece here, which I made from striped men's shirting fabric last year. Excuse the wrinklies and tiredness- this was after a very long day! Flower pin worn for a ridiculous dress-up dinner.]

Day Five

[All new pieces! This is a F21 dress I've owned forever but never worn, and what better chance than 30-for-30 to push it out of the closet? Today's all about doing room checks on my floor, and there's nothing like an empty loft for photoshoots!]

That’s it folks! Hit me with any questions you have, tell me which one’s your favorite, and have a splendid Labor Day weekend.

Subscribing to email updates here! I promise I won’t bombard you with spam or my face (one 30-for-30 post per week is reasonable, yes?)

    Really love all the days! Day 3 backwards is especially amazing. And I really like the crochet (?) detail at the top of the dress on day 5 – was going to compliment it earlier actually. I’m massively impressed with your challenge so far.

    Thanks Leah! I don’t know if I’d have even imagined backwards day without the theme push, but I’m excited it worked out :)

    Yes! I love that project, and you’ve actually reminded me that I need to get a separate “projects” link section going in my sidebar. Thanks, Connie!
