Day 30- The Grand Finale

What I'm wearing: Gap outlet turtleneck, J.Crew wool mini, Target tights, Target ankle booties, Forever 21 necklace, Forever 21 skinny belt

This is my 30th outfit and what I wore for Christmas Eve. I wore this for Christmas Eve mass and my dad's side family Christmas. I've had this outfit planned out since before the challenge even started because I knew I would want to dress up a little for Christmas Eve (I always do) and made sure to include these items for that reason. Honestly, this outfit is the main reason the turtleneck was even picked as one of my 30 items. I really like how it turned out, especially when I added my favorite Forever 21 necklace. So I finally made it; I'm finished with my second 30 for 30! It took me longer than most, but it was a lot of fun and much more successful than my first time. I'll be putting together a recap within the next few days. The best part of being finished? My shopping ban ended just in time for post-Christmas sales. Yesterday, my Mom and I hit the mall at 7:30 AM. I walked away with hunter green and maroon Hue tights which I have been wanting for forever and were on sale for $7 each, a Calvin Klein winter coat 50% off, a pair of gym shoes for $30 for work, and two calendar which were both 50% off. I think I may have done even better bargain shopping than I did on Black Friday. Nothing beats a good sale!

Day 30- Finally Finished!

Guess what today is? The final day of my 30 for 30 challenge! Its been a long one, but I've finally made it through. I'm proud that I stuck it out, even on the days when I felt like I had zero creativity left in me. I only lasted exactly 30 days without shopping, but I still consider that an accomplishment. I'm super excited to wear clothes outside of my 30 items, especially just in time for the beginning of school and this Fall season.

Occasion: Welcome Week events at my university
What I'm wearing: Forever 21 ruffle tank, American Apparel skirt, Merona sandals via Target, Vintage pocketwatch necklace, Urban Outfitters earrings

I had been avoiding this combination throughout the challenge because I wore almost the exact same thing earlier this summer, but I finally gave in. I figured I may as well end the challenge with my MVP item, the navy American Apparel skirt. I have worn this thing to death since I bought it in July. I was much happier with how today's pictures turned out (special thanks to the boyfriend!). Its going to take a little while to settle into my school routine and figure out when will be best to take my pictures (umm 8AM classes...not exactly sure how great I'm going to look for those). Also, look for an overall 30 for 30 recap either tonight (after Glee, of course. Any other Gleeks out there?) or tomorrow. I'm kind of excited to see all 30 looks together and pick out my favorites :)
