Name that candy bar

9/30 Thrifted dress and bag; Charlotte Russe belt; Payless wedges

This is another one of those pieces that I've considered hemming...I think it'd be super cute it if hit right above the knee, but maybe after the whole midi-length thing goes back out of style. What do you think?

I actually wore this a few days ago to a baby shower. Now I'm sure I'll want kids sometime down the road...but being around all things baby for a few hours pretty much confirmed that I don't want them anytime soon. I think the 'name that candy bar' game will do that to you...

Three ways to wear: black dress

It's easy to get into ruts when it comes to a particular piece of clothing. For example, I usually wear this black dress from Express with a belt and a simple necklace and that's it (example). Not that there's anything wrong with that, but I know that I'm really limiting myself by only wearing such a potentially versatile dress one way. So I'm taking a cue from Tania and sharing three other ways to wear it.


6/30 Thrifted scarf; Target flats.


7/30 Old Navy scarf; Target wedges.


8/30 Charlotte Russe necklace; Payless wedges.

This was probably the easiest remixing I've ever done; I just switched out one accessory and the shoes! (Have I mentioned how much I love scarves by the way?) I almost can't believe this dress has been in my closet this long and I hadn't really tried anything different until now. I'm sure you'll see several more ways to wear it as this challenge moves along!

Risk taking

5/30 Banana Republic shirt; Old Navy shorts; Thrifted scarf; Target wedges.

Can you believe it's almost July?? It honestly freaks me out because I swear just yesterday I was panicking how it was June already.

Anyway, I'm usually not much of a pattern-mixer, but I really liked pairing this printed scarf with something other than just a white v-neck. And I know I'm definitely not the first to wear florals with stripes or anything, but in my little hometown, I still felt like a risk taker.

Knot it

4/30 Thrifted top and shoes; Old Navy dress; Bandaid.

I'd been dying to do the knotted-shirt-thing ever since I saw Kendi do it here, and then just the other day I saw Brittany from Try It On Me do it here. Anyway, I'm pretty much hooked now, and I'm glad to have even more ways to remix these Old Navy sundresses (the other two seen here and here).

P.S. Did you notice I'm wearing flats today (for the safety of my poor knees)? I wouldn't want to have to rock a bandaid on the other one too.

And then disaster struck.

3/30 Express v-neck; Old Navy pants; Thrifted belt and scarf; Payless wedges.

You guys left some awesome feedback yesterday for being better at walking in these wedges. Apparently though, I still haven't had enough practice because right in the middle of taking pictures for this outfit, disaster struck.

I completely busted in the middle of my driveway, and tore up my knee, and these pants. My knee is fine (I'll probably be rocking a band-aid tomorrow) but I'm not sure what to do about the hole in these pants....I'm thinking I'll try and convert them into shorts, but we'll see.

Anyway, I originally meant for this post to be about how awesome my headband is, and how I'm finally figuring out more ways to wear all the scarves that I've accumulated so...just focus on that I guess.

Fried pickles, and newborn giraffes

2/30 Thrifted top, bag and belt; Gap (thrifted) shorts; Payless wedges

I just accidentally deleted a post entirely about fried pickles....probably a good thing now that I think about it. Long story short, they're awesome.

Anyway, on to the outfit...for some reason this top reminds me of when they sing beauty school dropout in Grease. Also, these are probably my new favorite shoes but I sort of resemble a newborn giraffe when walking in them. I've never really had trouble with heels before, but somehow these make my center of gravity off...any tips? They're super comfy otherwise, but I just feel like I have to concentrate on not falling way more than usual, which is not so fun.

Thirty Items

I'm only a week late posting these, but better late than never, right? These are the items that I'm going to be using for Kendi's 30 for 30 challenge to make 30 different outfits. (I've already posted my first outfit here.) I still haven't decided if I'm going to put myself on a shopping ban yet as well...although I'm sure my bank account would appreciate if I did.

Anyway, I know the suspense has been killing you:
