Day 17, 18, 19 & 20/30

Outfit; cardigan-Etsy, dress-Warehouse & boots-Steve Madden.

Accessories; necklace-Tiffany, belt-H&M, ring-Accessorize & tights-M&S.

So 20 down and 10 to go and I'm learning a lot; accessories are key to any outfit, things look really different on camera than they do in the mirror*, as much as I love trousers I really do look better in skirts and dresses (although I'm also liking the shorts & tights combo)-something my hubby has been telling me for years! I'm sure I'll learn a few more before this thing is done.

*Makes me think of Clueless (which was mine and my sisters favourite film when we were younger) Cher never used mirrors and always took photos of her outfits to decide what to wear. Maybe I need to watch that film again and see what other useful tips she had, I loved her wardrobe organiser!

Four outfits for the price of one, bad 30 for 30 blogger! My hubby has been using our laptop a lot for work so apologies if you've been waiting with baited breath and if not why not?! So I think day 16 will also become one of my favourite outfits and I got a compliment on day 15 so maybe I'm getting better at this? I've also realised I'm over half way through already and I haven't yet missed the other things in my wardrobe yet, sssshhhh don't tell the hubby!

Accessories; necklace-Accessorize & belt-H&M.

So another combined post for which I have no excuse this week! You may notice day 9a is missing due to a blip, we've had really funny weather this week ranging from 26c on Monday to 12c on Wednesday. It also rained pretty much all day Tuesday which meant I unintentionally stayed in my gym gear all day waiting to take my daily walk/push the pram up the hill. Hence day 9b and I'll add an extra on at the end!

Day 7/30

Accessories; necklace-Accessorize, earrings-Accessorize & bangle-M&S.

So I'm trying out one of my new belts today, I've really liked the high waisted look for a while but wasn't sure it was me-I think it works let me know what you think! I must also say how much I love this skirt I've had it for about 7 years (wow is it really that long?!) and I still like it as much as when I bought it.

Day 4, 5 & 6/30

So this is a combined post so hold tight, day 4 I had technical difficulties with the camera and laptop and my hubby was out. Day 5 my little boy was sick, so here I am day 6 with three days worth of pictures. I'm really enjoying this challenge, it really makes me think in the morning about how I should look and more so because I know I have to post a picture on here!! Today I went accessory shopping (as I desperately needed some more) with my good friend Mrs P, she always accessorises well so I just had to take her along! So here's my booty; two new belts which has doubled my whole collection. Two scarfs one of which I was eyeing up in the week, a new long necklace (long ones are my favs) a bangle, two pairs of long socks and another pair of tights. Did you see the purple tights made an appearance today, those are the ones I said you'd notice when they arrived but I'm not sure they look quite as bright on here as they do in real life!

Day 3/30

Outfit; cardigan-Etsy, t-shirt-Topshop, shorts-Victoria's Secret & shoes-Steve Madden.

Accessories; butterfly earrings-Accessorize, necklace-a gift, bangle-Accessorize & scarf-Accessorize.

So today I wasn't looking forward to getting dressed I hadn't planned in advance what to wear so I dawlded a while and came up with this. I'm actually pretty pleased with the result and it's definitely not a combo I've worn before which is the whole idea of this challenge. It's also the first time I've worn my top tucked in probably since I was at school! Just a shame I won't be able to wear it again for another 27 days! ;) I'm wondering if the trousers work, been 5ft 2" the style police would probably say they make me look smaller but I guess I'll let you all decide. I could always get them cut into a more flattering style when this challenge is done.

Day 2/30

Outfit; cardigan-Etsy, dress-Warehouse, tights-Next & boots-Ugg.

Accessories; necklace-Accessorize, bracelet-Links of London & tights-Next.

Today I wore a dress on a weekday! That normally doesn't happen I prefer trousers or shorts and more rarely a skirt as it's easier for me to get down and play with my boy. It was a nice change to feel glam during the week, I just hope my fellow supermarket shoppers appreciated my extra efforts! I did however accompany my son to a casting for a modelling shoot so it wasn't all milk, veg and fruit.

I tried to grab some accessories earlier as we were running past H&M but my lil man wouldn't stay still long enough for me to decide on a belt so hopefully I'll get to go back at the weekend. I did however get some tights so watch this space for those appearing, you'll know when they've arrived.

Day 1/30

Outfit; cardigan-Gap, vest top-Zara, jeans-Gap & shoes-Steve Madden.

Accessories; earrings-Accessorize & bracelet-Links of London.

So looking at these photos I feel like I wasn't very adventurous today, I did however take more time to get ready than my normal just throw something on. I even wore some earrings something I've not done for ages and did something different with my hair. I've already learnt I need to accessorise more, I put one of my two belts on this morning but felt it didn't look right so took it off. I hope as I progress I can make more use of colours too. My hubby took the pics, I tried to get some earlier when the light was better but couldn't get any good ones. Oh and the last picture is of my lil man who just had to get in on the act too!

My 30 items.

So here they are the big 3-0, it took me about 45 minutes to pick them out and I really struggled to get 30 as it appears I have a distinct lack of clothes in my wardrobe (my hubby would disagree strongly here!) especially tops. Something I've learnt already is I have way too many grey, blue and black items! So here it goes; tops and dresses....................

bottoms....................
