Outfitted :: Nearing the End

Happy Saturday everyone! Hope your weekend is going swell so far. As promised here are another round of outfit pictures from the end of this 30x30 outfit challenge! Enjoy!

Pleione floral blouse (remixed here + here + here) / Vintage floral maxi (remixed here) / Forever 21 wedge booties (remixed here + here + here + here) / Rebecca Minkoff bag

Yet another neglected item in my 30 pieces - the floral maxi skirt. This skirt is very lightweight (and slightly see-through, eeep!) so it was hard to wear it during the weeks of gross winter weather, then I forgot about it as it sat in my dryer for another week. Laundry days always get the best of me ;)

Zara chambray top (remixed here + here + here) / H&M ballerina skirt (remixed here + here) / BDG dalmatian print flats (remixed here + here + here + here) / Jason Wu for Target bag

More bare legs! I told you all I refuse to put on tights anymore. This is such a great springtime outfit I didn't want to ruin it (yes, ruin) with tights. This skirt was also forgotten in my dryer as you can probably tell by some of the wrinkles I couldn't get out :)

Urban Outfitters crop top (remixed here + here + here) / Thrifted faux fur vest ( remixed here + here) / H&M skinny jeans (remixed here) / Steve Madden boots (remixed here + here) / Marc by Marc Jacobs bag

I felt like a modern 70's bohemian a la Nicole Richie in this outfit. Crop top, high-waist denim, fur vest and just to embrace the look entirely I threw on my over-sized fedora, which I will admit was quite difficult to keep on my head with how thick and fluffy my curls have become.

Gap striped dress (remixed here + here + here) / H&M anorak (remixed here + here) / Bucco loafers (remixed here + here) / Etsy clutch

Last but not least, even more bare legs! Can you sense my excitement in these photos?

Any plans for Easter tomorrow? I unfortunately will be at work all day, but you know afterwards I am hitting all my favorite online stores and shopping like there's no tomorrow. Lent is finally over and I have cash to throw down :)

Outfitted :: The Home Stretch

Hi everyone! So I've been a little m.i.a. this week as I've been playing catch up with school and the things outside of posting that go on with a blog. But I have another round of outfits for you today and will be posting another bunch tomorrow as Sunday is Easter! Meaning the end of all this outfit challenge shenanigans! And then we can get back to our regularly syndicated broadcast on KATNP ;)

So here are outfits 21-24, I hope you enjoy!

Thrifted striped sweater (remixed here) / ASOS maxi dress (remixed here + here) / Charlotte Russe booties (remixed here + here) / ASOS boyfriend beanie / Express leather jacket / Marc by Marc Jacobs bag / Elizabeth & James Sunglasses

After what felt like weeks of indoor shots due to snow, wind, cold, hail, or all the above; I finally got back outside again! And to top it off, wearing a dress with no tights! Let me tell you it was a glorious feeling :)

Zara chambray top (remixed here + here) / H&M blazer (remixed here) / River Island faux leather pants (remixed here + here) / Old Navy animal print booties (remixed here + here + here + here) / Rebecca Minkoff bag

I really love the elements involved in this look. The chambray paired with a red blazer is very classic Americana, but throwing in faux leather pants and leopard booties gives it a rocker-chic edge. Also, though it's hard to see in the pictures, unbuttoning my shirt one more button than I would normally made me feel kind of naughty, haha! Not in a 'look-at-my-chest-world' kind of way but more of an understated sensuality, kind of like having a side-slit on a long dress or skirt. The occasional flash of extra skin is very alluring, you should try it some time :)

Pleione floral blouse (remixed here + here) / Timing polka dot blouse (remixed here + here) / Helmut Lang leather shorts (remixed here + here + here + here) / Forever 21 wedge booties (remixed here + here + here) / Michael Kors bag

Oh, and we're back inside again :( I had high hopes for this look, but it didn't work out as well as I thought it might. A mix of polka dots and florals, which definitely works, I just wish there was more of the polka dots showing than just at the top, but unfortunately the floral blouse hits lower than the polka dots (how many times can I say florals and polka dots in one paragraph?). Oh well, you win some and you lose some, right?

J.Crew neon sweater (remixed here) / H&M boyfriend jeans (remixed here + here + here + here) / Akira graphic cardi (remixed here + here) / BDG dalmatian print flats (remixed here + here + here) / Marc by Marc Jacobs bag / Elizabeth & James Sunglasses

Last but certainly not least, I told you all you'd be seeing this neon sweater throughout the end of this challenge, haha! This is my 'running errands' uniform - slouchy sweater, slouchy boyfriend jeans, flats, too lazy to do anything to my hair so I tied a scarf around it and I was ready for some hardcore grocery shopping ;)

A lot of prepping is going on this weekend for my trip out to L.A. for Lucky Fabb next week! I've been a regular jetsetter these past few weeks, huh? Colorado, now L.A., where to next I wonder, haha! I hope you all have an awesome weekend!

Outfitted :: A Forgotten Sweater

J.Crew Sweater (similar, also obsessed with this) / ASOS Maxi Dress (remixed here) / Joie Boots (remixed here + here + here) / Thrifted Scarf

It's outfit 20! Only 10 more to go can you believe it! I want to give a big thank you to everyone who's been so supportive and encouraging throughout this process, you've truly kept me motivated and willing to push a little harder throughout this challenge :)

Here's a surprise, throughout this whole experience I haven't worn this sweater once and I love this sweater! It's chunky, over-sized, and in a bright pink - what's not to like about it? I can't believe it was so neglected for the majority of this challenge. So with that said get ready to see it in at least 5 out of my last 10 outfits ;)

In other news, I'm officially banning tights from my wardrobe. I'm ready to bare my legs to the world and in my mind if I start dressing as if it were warm out then maybe I'll convince Mother Nature to make it warm. If it's still cold where you are I suggest taking the same stance, nothing like some good ol' peer pressure to change the weather patterns ;)

Any fun plans for the weekend? Mine is going to be full of work and midterms with a little break for a Second City show with a group of pals. Whatever your plans are I hope it's a great time!

Outfitted :: Happy Spring

Hi all! Spring is, technically-speaking, finally here! Though the sun is shining the temps have not decided to match what, from indoors, looks to be like a gorgeous day as it's still around 20 degrees here in Chicago.

But nonetheless with the coming of Spring means the coming of Easter which means the end of my outfit challenge! (oh yeah, you remember that thing? lol) I won't lie, I'm kinda over this challenge and I'm itching to go shopping and actually buy new things.

But alas there are still just over 10 more outfits to go. So let's get to it, shall we? (side note: I'm cutting the number of outfits from 40 to 30 as our week in Colorado totally threw me off since I basically wore ski gear or loungewear the entire time. Nothing outfit post worthy, haha!)

Peter Jensen Sweater (remixed here + here) / Free People Neon Blouse (remixed here, check out more blouses from Free People here) / H&M Boyfriend Jeans (remixed here + here + here) / Old Navy Animal Print Booties (remixed here + here + here) / Gifted Michael Kors Watch

Missoni for Target Zig Zag Blouse (remixed here) / River Island Faux Leather Pants (remixed here + here) / Forever 21 Magenta Booties (remixed here + here) / Marc by Marc Jacobs bag / Random scarf purchased in Italy / Gifted Oversized Fedora + Michael Kors accessories

I find it funny as I was going through past posts looking for when I remixed each item that some of these I've only worn once before, yet I feel I've worn everything a million times over. Another sign that this challenge needs to end soon, lol ;]

Pleione Floral Blouse (remixed here) / Helmut Lang Leather Shorts (remixed here + here + here) / Thrifted Faux Fur Vest (remixed here) / Urban Outfitters Dalmatian Flats (remixed here) / Target Sweater Tights / Rebecca Minkoff Crossbody / Gifted Michael Kors accessories

Last but certainly not least, tomorrow (Thurs, March 21) is Cheeky Chicago's Annual Spring Fashion Show at the 900 Shops on Michigan Ave and while tickets are being sold for $25 I've got a special discount for you fashionable readers to purchase them for $15 off! Yayyy!
