Day 5- The Classics

How is everyone holding up so far on the 30 for 30 challenge? I'm a little frustrated that I'm so far behind, but my weekly routine forces me to wear a work uniform 2-3 days a week. I'm doing what I can though, and I'm hoping to get a little more caught up this weekend. Yesterday was Day 5, and I was in the mood to wear something simple but classy. And what's more classic than stripes, a cardigan, riding boots, a Tiffany's bracelet, and stud earrings?

What I'm wearing: J.Crew beaded cardigan, Gap striped tee, Gap Always Skinny jeans, Ciao Bella boots via DSW, Tiffany's bracelet (gift), Vintage ring, Pink Box earrings

To top off the look, I added my Old Navy coat and
a Burberry scarf (ebay!)

The Burberry scarf added a nice little British touch, which was appropriate because last night I saw a midnight showing of Harry Potter 7, part 1! No matter how old I get, I will never outgrow Harry Potter. The movie was one of the best ones yet, and it was a super fun night...totally worth getting there 3 hours early to get good seats :) Any other HP fans out there?

Day 5- Black and Blue

Todays' mantra: I will be productive, I will be productive, I will be productive! I have been back from New York for a week now, and I haven't accomplished nearly as much as I had planned. My room is still in a state of complete disarray, there is a stack of clothes that needs to be handwashed/drycleaned (and some of them are my 30 items, yikes!), and my life is basically in need of some major organization. So today I am determined to get motivated and get things done! Starting with this post on day 5 of my 30 for 30 challenge...

Occasion: More errands and cleaning
What I'm wearing: Gap dress (2008), J.Crew Outlet tank, Forever 21 belt, Banana Republic Outlet sandals, Bangles from Old Navy & New York and Co.

Yes, after seeing this closeup of my bangles, I realize how badly I need to paint my nails. I might as well add that to the to-do list too! I have worn this dress many times with the tank/belt combination, but never with these particular pieces. I had never thought to pair it with black, but I like how it turned out. I guess that really is the whole point of this challenge--its truly making me look at my closet in a whole new way.

Here are my first 5 days of the challenge; only 25 to go! I think I like day 2 or 3 best. Do you have a favorite?
