WhoWhatWear 30 Day Wardrobe Challenge // Day 17 // Winterize your favorite summer skirt

Funny that this challenge didn’t stand out to me at first as being difficult, until I looked through my closet.  I don’t wear skirts.  Like….ever anymore!  I found a few, but they certainly aren’t any kind of “favorite”.  So, I took a dress that I love and winterized it 🙂  It’s been raining sideways, so more inside pics.

Ps-can we ignore my blindingly white legs???Blog Twenty8Twelve Dress Joie Boots-1 Blog Twenty8Twelve Dress Joie Boots-2This dress is pretty short, so I either pair it over super skinny jeans, or wear a slip under it.

WhoWhatWear 30 Day Wardrobe Challenge // Day 16 // Monochrome in a Bright Color

I don’t know if oxblood counts as a bright color, but it’s pretty bright for me!  I have snippets of bright colors in my wardrobe, but I definitely trend towards more basic colors.  With the exception of green.  LOVE just about every shade of green, but I didn’t really want to look like a frog 🙂

Side note.  I’m getting way more comfortable whipping out my tripod and taking these selfies, but this is a very busy running trail.  On a nice sunny day, you can just imagine the comments I was getting…Blog Vintage Leather Jacket Lanston Tee True Religion Suede Skinny Frye Booties-1 Blog Vintage Leather Jacket Lanston Tee True Religion Suede Skinny Frye Booties-2 Blog Vintage Leather Jacket Lanston Tee True Religion Suede Skinny Frye Booties-3 Blog Vintage Leather Jacket Lanston Tee True Religion Suede Skinny Frye Booties-4 Blog Vintage Leather Jacket Lanston Tee True Religion Suede Skinny Frye Booties-5 Blog Vintage Leather Jacket Lanston Tee True Religion Suede Skinny Frye Booties-6Um, Mom, where are the bubbles you promised??

WhoWhatWear 30 Day Wardrobe Challenge // Day 15 // 3 Levels of Layering

 It seems funny that I was so overwhelmed by this challenge at first.  I’ve been loving seeing other people’s takes on the challenge on Instagram too.  It’s what I love most about fashion.  Different people can wear almost the same look, yet look completely different.  That also means that you don’t have to shy away from something because you don’t think you could pull it off or it’s not you.  Make it you! 🙂  I had actually thought of a completely different outfit at first, but then it turned out to be 55-yay!  But…that didn’t exactly work with the silk top/sweater/jacket combo I had in mind.  So, I went with lighter layers…Blog Juicy Jacket HM Top Joes Jeans Born Booties-1Love how this top is sheer in the back.

WhoWhatWear 30 Day Wardrobe Challenge // Day 14 Mix 2 prints into your outfit

 I’m on a roll with these now.  Yesterday I showed how I made a neutral outfit interesting by layering and adding a pair of statement shoes.  I really do think I’ll finish all of them.  I’m more of a solid color person over prints, so this one totally freaked me out.  Leopard is kind of becoming a new neutral, so I totally felt ok mixing it with these jeans.  Yay or nay?

Btw, there is a very busy restaurant right off to the side of me that overlooks the water.  Yes, it was lunch time.  Yes, everyone was probably wondering what the heck I was doing… :}Blog Gap Shirt Black Orchid Ikat Jeans Leopard Flats-1 Blog Gap Shirt Black Orchid Ikat Jeans Leopard Flats-2 Blog Gap Shirt Black Orchid Ikat Jeans Leopard Flats-3 Blog Gap Shirt Black Orchid Ikat Jeans Leopard Flats-4 Blog Gap Shirt Black Orchid Ikat Jeans Leopard Flats-5 Blog Gap Shirt Black Orchid Ikat Jeans Leopard Flats-6I think Maya threw at least 87 rocks into the Sound… 🙂 Blog Gap Shirt Black Orchid Ikat Jeans Leopard Flats-7 Blog Gap Shirt Black Orchid Ikat Jeans Leopard Flats-8 Blog Gap Shirt Black Orchid Ikat Jeans Leopard Flats-9“Yay, I did it!” (got it into the water :)) Blog Gap Shirt Black Orchid Ikat Jeans Leopard Flats-10She even got into the “mixing two prints”.  Railroad stripes + checks Blog Gap Shirt Black Orchid Ikat Jeans Leopard Flats-11On me…

WhoWhatWear 30 Day Wardrobe Challenge // Day 13 Neutrals with a Pop

 When I first saw this challenge in my Bloglovin’ feed, I thought it would be so fun to do!  Then, I started feeling overwhelmed.  A week went by, and I thought since I was so far behind, there was no point in trying anymore.  Yesterday it hit me.  There were no rules that said I had to do every day on the day it was supposed to happen, or that I had to do each day.  Once I took the pressure off, it sounded fun again.  I photographed 5 of the days yesterday, and plan on doing a big post at the end with all of them (that I don’t put on here first).  Today’s challenge was..
