My 30 Items

Here they are, people! My 30 items. I'm pretty happy with them and excited to get remixing. I haven't really mixed and matched these to start making outfit ideas - I'm worried about this only because I don't want to get a week or two into the challenge and realize I can only make but so many looks.

There they are, my friends. Some things I've recently purchased, some I've had for years (seriously, some pieces I've had for four to six (or more) years.). On Monday I will start remixing, creating, and styling these 30 items. I hope to push myself to new creative outfits and entertain you all as well! To all who are remixing - good luck! And be sure to check out my friend Tyra! She's recently created a blog to share her life AND she is doing the remix with me!

Cool Weather Staples

Just when Fall starts rolling around and the weather is verging on cool, I like to sport the shorts and long sleeve look. This look definitely falls into my favorites category. Something about pairing shorts with long sleeves is nautical and fresh, and straight out of a Spring LL Bean ad - I love it.

We were in Gap over the weekend and they were having a sale on striped and solid colored SuperSoft Long Sleeve T-shirts. I picked up four - two solids and two stripes (I never ever follow that shopping rule that states, don't buy several colors of the same piece. my rule is, if it works, it works, so stock up.). They are perfect. And don't let the "t-shirt" label through you off - they are exceptionally thick and warm. So you can be sure that I will be wearing my shorts/long sleeve look until I need some warmth around my chicken legs.

These shirts are also a great buy not only because they were on sale, but because of their versatility. They can be paired with skinny jeans, a blazer, and boots; they can be dressed up with a colorful scarf, ,chunky necklace, or long pendant necklace; and they can be tucked into a skirt for an even dressier look.

It's always a good idea to invest in basics.
