Another BIG PLUS that has come of this challenge: I've literally planned my outfits for the next week (taking weather into consideration and all) so I just wake up and it's already planned out for me. Big time saver!

Day 7
I spent way too much time looking down at my outfit to make sure it looked okay...and you can see that from these pictures. So, in honor of my fake insecurity, I hereby name this constant action of mine: The "Check-Yourself-Before-You-Wreck-Yourself". That is a fitting name, no?




What I'm Wearing
Fur Lapel: H&M
Red Wool Blazer: thrifted
Chain Print Blouse: thrifted
High-Waisted Shorts: H&M
Leopard Belt: Talbots
Houndstooth Tights: H&M
Brown Tights (underneath): Forever 21
Leopard Flats: Steve Madden

Day 8
As soon as I went out to take these photos, it started snowing. Sigh. I'm not ready for snow yet. Let me at least get through this 30x30. Ma'Nature, you hear me? It is brick city outside so I wear a coat every day but it wasn't until this day that I decided to switch it up. Instead of wearing my everyday black parka, I chose a coat that would serve as an accessory to the outfit. And.. I LOVE this coat. Pssst... peep the scarf? It's bringing all the solid colors of my outfit together into one big ole party. Here's the best part: it was $3.




What I'm Wearing
Cape Coat: H&M
Cream Blazer: thrifted
Paisley Printed Scarf: thrifted
Red Lace Shoulder Tee: Talbots
Chrome Belt: Wet Seal
Wide Leg Denim: Old Navy
Brown Pleated Leather Boots: Vince Camuto

Day 5
I thought it'd be interesting to try a mustard/yellow monochromatic look. I scored this lovely chunky gold cable knit sweater from my trifting escapades in Boston for just $6.




What I'm Wearing
Gold Cable Knit Sweater: thrifted
Gold/Mustard Cashmere Blend Scarf: thrifted
Mustard Skater Skirt: Chicwish
Maroon Cable Knit Tights: H&M
Cream Socks: Forever 21
Brown Combat Boots: Charlotte Russe

Day 6
As a result of my limitations, I've decided not to care too much about wearing the same items on consecutive days. So, I present to you, the gold cable knit sweater... again. Hehehe.




What I'm Wearing
Gold Cable Knit Sweater: thrifted
Floral Chambray Shirt: thrifted
Slate Blue Zip Ankle Pants: Talbots
Brown Combat Boots: Charlotte Russe

Day 3
I'm normally not a t-shirt person, so, when I put this white tee on with this outfit, I immediately disliked everything about it. The shirt seemed way too casual for the blazer. So I found a scarf, belted it and, basically, covered the entire shirt. You can barely tell it exists in the outfit. (The cream blazer I'm wearing is my forgotten 30th item.)




What I'm Wearing
Cream Blazer: thrifted
White Pocket T-Shirt: Talbots
Aztec Print Scarf: Charlotte Russe
Black Skinny Belt: H&M
Leather Patched Leggings: H&M
Studded Booties: C Label from Charlotte Russe

Day 4
November 4, 2013 was Black Solidarity Day. For those of you who don't know, Black Solidarity day is the first Monday of November and is observed annually on the Monday before Election Day to remind the nation, and people of African descent across the diaspora of the collective strength and political power of the Black Community.

In honor and celebration of the cause, we are encouraged to wear all black and, go figure, I don't have one black shirt in the 30 items I chose to wear this month. So, I'd like to introduce you to my leather suit. (I do have an inner shirt underneath that jacket though--and layered tights again!. It's cold out here!)




What I'm Wearing
Leather Jacket & Skater Skirt: H&M
Snakeskin Leggings: H&M
Vertical Striped Tights: River Island
Studded Booties: C Label from Charlotte Russe

Four days into the challenge and I am LOVING it. (I know, I know. Today, Nov. 4th, is technically day four and I'm only showing you outfits for the first two days. Bear with me people! I have a lot to do an not enough time to do it all!) It literally takes about 3 minutes or less to plan an outfit. It's amazing. I just look at my big compilation picture, think about the weather, the occasion (work, school, lunch, etc.) and voila! An an outfit appears!

Day 1
I find it important that I accessorize to give every outfit a unique personality. When limited to 30 items for 30 days, your imagination has to travel to uncharted realms.
Day one's realm: layered tights.



What I'm Wearing
Red Lace Shoulder Top: Talbots
Red & Black Buffalo Plaid Scarf: old
Leather Skater Skirt: H&M
Red Tights: JCPenney
Black Criss Cross Bow Tights: ROMWE
Bronze Bag: H&M
D'Orsay Flats: PacSun

Day 2
You wouldn't believe it, but I thrifted the scarf for $3 and the skirt for $8. Am I lucky or what? Plus, there was something about this leather and silk combo that made me feel elegantly dangerous. Is that possible?




What I'm Wearing
Cream Zip-Sleeve Blouse: H&M
Gold Cashmere Blend Scarf: thrifted*
Navy Silk Midi Skirt: thrifted
Leopard Flats: Steve Madden
Leather Jacket: H&M

How do you like the first two looks? Are these outfits you think you would have put together from the items I chose?
