Good morning lovelies! Today I am venturing out on a journey. A fashion journey. A month-long journey that only allowed me to select a certain amount (30 pieces*) of clothing to wear, re-wear and wear again in different and interesting ways. A month-long journey that will hopefully pad my bank account a little and teach me a little more patience and self-control.
I'm taking this journey due to the great adventure that many of my fellow bloggers have had in trying the 30-for-30 challenge, especially Ms. Kendi. She first took the challenge here, and recently finished up her second one here. I'm very excited to try this challenge and hope you'll enjoy it with me!
*Accessories (belts, jewelry, hats, etc.) not included in item count.
Here's what I'll be wearing for the next thirty days:

Love your picks. There are tons of great combinations in there. The first outfit it a fantastic mix of prints! I need to be more brave and try it more. Thanks for the inspiration.

Good luck with your style challenge! I'm really liking those pieces you selected - they've got a perfect later summer/early fall vibe going.
Can you imagine this: http://inspiredoutsiders.com/fashion/six-items-or-less/
Only SIX items for THIRTY days!
Good luck! I love your picks and can't wait to see what combinations you come up with!
Go girl!!! :-) I have to say this would be an easy challenge for me. And wouldn't curb my spending habits. Yikes. Not bragging. I should be scared for myself. and my expensive habit. Anyway- maybe I should set my OWN challenge to actually WEAR what's in my closet. Lol.
how awesome! Good luck! Maybe I'll copy you if it goes well!
I finished Kendi's 30 for 30 challenge earlier this month and really enjoyed 'shopping my closet,' Good luck! I look forward to seeing what looks you put together with your 30 items.
Love this idea!!!
This is going to be fun to watch how you mix and match. :-)
You are so much braver than I am! Cute first outfit and good luck. Make sure to enter my Closet Clean-Out Giveaway!

All your picks are super cute! I'm curious to watch as this unfolds, because honestly, that seems like a lot of clothes for only 30 days. 3 dresses, 6 skirts and 2 pants...that's a TON!! And 7 pairs of shoes!! I think it would be more challenging to style and accessorize if you only had 10 items.
i LOVE that you are doing this challenge. i can't wait to see what you put together!
I love this challenge! I also cannot wait to see what you put together. Love your color palette.
Hurrah! I'm a big fan of (this idea, and!) your first outfit, and I love your new "When/What/Where/Why" additions to your daily outfit posts, too.
Also: "Scott, if your life had a face, I would punch it." "Yeaaahhh...wait, what?"
So were the guidelines outlined somewhere or did you outline it for yourself? Because honestly, like someone else mentioned... that seems like a lot of clothes to me. I'd be happy to just have that in my closet!
I really enjoyed doing this challenge - looks like you picked out some interesting pieces. Look forward to seeing your outfits.
This challenge is such a great idea!
And I love the pieces you picked!
Good luck :)
