Twenty-nine and THIRTY: Finished!

I'm done!  I actually wore these two outfits this weekend but with company visiting I didn't have time to post them!

(Dress: Marshalls, Cardigan: American Eagle, Boots: Kohls)

I am so happy to be finished with this project!  I did learn a lot though, and I'll post tomorrow with a recap of all 30 outfits and all the lessons I learned.  Until then! 

Twenty-eight: Wantin' Ain't Gettin'

(Shirt: J. Crew, Skirt: Gap, Cardigan: American Eagle, Shoes: Shoe Station, Belt: Marshalls, Necklace: Pac Sun)

When I was just a small child, still content with neon shirts and slap bracelets, my mother's co-worker shared with her a phrase that still runs through my head today: Wantin' ain't gettin'.  My mom loved this phrase so much it was her go-to response whenever I started ooohing and ahhhing over something at the mall.  I hated it then, what teenager wants to hear those words?  But I find it popping into my head all the time now when I'm shopping.  (Just another sign that I am slowly turning into my mother... which may not be as scary as I once thought)  In honor of the sentiment of that phrase, here's a list of items I'm currently wantin'.  Some I may eventually get... but only once sales roll around... I'm not a full price kinda girl.

 Dorrie Skirt: Yes!  Great shape, decent length and I NEED the blue!  And the toffee!  And the white....

Blowfish Sandbox: The red and white really appeals to me, what do you guys think?  Navy and white would probably get a lot more wear.  I love these though, in either stripe.  

 Gingham Sonoma shorts: So adorable.  And remixable.

Blowfish Shiloh: I have something similar in gray from Blowfish last year and they always get compliments.  Want in whiskey!

I also want some florals and some brightly colored belts!

Thanks for stopping by!

Twenty-seven: I Heart March

(Shirt: Macys, Jeans: Banana Republic, Scarf: Old Navy, Shoes: Mudd)

March has always been my favorite month of the year, because it is my birthday month!  Then, two years ago, A and I got married in March.  Also, most years, March hosts the annual science conference I attend, which has gotten even more exciting in the last couple years because it's become like a reunion of all my favorite people from grad school.  Oh yeah, and all those fun little birthday coupons stores and restaurants email to me!  (World Market, Moes, CVS... yes I get excited about CVS.)  Last but not least, March brings warm weather!!!  This year February tried to one-up March in that respect but I still expect great, warm, sunny things from my favorite month. 

Might as well kick off March with polka dots!  I copied this polka dot shirt + polka dot scarf from a magazine, and I am proud of myself, because that's a first, and people in magazines usually look way more put together than I do!  On one hand, I like that the colors in this outfit are all dark and similar, and on the other, I also think it would look great with all dark plus a bright red or something. 

Happy March everyone!

Twenty-six: Wind and Wrinkles

(Shirt: J. Crew, Skirt: Banana Republic, Shoes: Shoe Station, Belt: Marshalls, Necklace: Thrifted)

Love this outfit!  Are you guys tired of seeing my cognac shoes/belt combo?  I still love it but I will be glad to be able to wear different shoes come the end of the remix!  

It was windy today taking these pictures and you can tell by my hair!  You can also tell I took these at the end of the day.  The trials of a desk job. 

Twenty-five: Some Sequins

 

(Shirt: Loft, Jeans: Banana Republic, Shoes: Mudd, Scarf: World Market)

Just some quick bright happy yellow sequins to add something special to a dark outfit!  Happy Friday!
