30 Days and Counting!

30-for-30, I’m here to take you by storm! We’re busting out the ultimate restyling skills and never coming back! Ready…set….

…

Actually, I’m more than a little intimidated.

For those of you who don’t know, 30-for-30 is a challenge started by Kendi to create 30 stylish, no-bullshit outfits in 30 days, using only 30 pieces of clothing (including shoes.) Now, I’m a girl who rarely wears a duplicate outfit in a year, much less a month. Massive restyling is my thing. I also own too many clothes for my own good, and this can make me lazy. So when I interviewed Frances and got overwhelmingly positive feedback, I thought, why not?

But as soon as I got back from camp and started unpacking my clothes, my heart started to race. It’d seemed so easy in theory. But can I really get 30 outfits out of this?!

[Raw materials. It doesn't look like very much...]

Fortunately I have you guys to hold me accountable, and I’m committed to this challenge come hell or high water. So, onwards!

Day 1

Here’s what I wore to my first official day of RA (residence assistant) training! Light ruffly blouse and seersucker shorts I’ve owned forever, & red cutout flats from Aldo. I figured I’d give the easy breezy pieces a whirl while the weather’s still hot, even if it means not looking like unicorn vomit, haha.

And yesssss accessorizing is allowed – besides shoes, of course! Promise I won’t wear an enormous scarf that covers half of my body, though! That’s an old Tokidoki bag, by the way, and a feather headband from Forever 21.

I’ll be posting bi-weekly from now on to break things up a bit, as I also have more regular articles coming. Expect to see the rest of this week’s restyling all together in a few days.

If you have any encouragement, input thus far, or just plan to be following along, I’d love to hear from you below!
