30 for 30 day eighteen

jacket (second hand store), white shirt (old work),

shorts and thongs (hand-me-down), pearl necklace-gone-bracelet (stolen from best friend :D)

i still love this jacket months and months after i bought it. i think it is so cute and unique! it really picks up a relatively boring outfit when combined with my totally stylish sunnies (haha) and the pearl necklace. however, i'll be totally honest, it was too hot to wear it most of the day but it looks good in the photo!

30 for 30 day seven

oh my gosh! i am a week in. i had the impulse to go second hand store browsing this afternoon, and i even walked into one, but i was well behaved and didn't buy a thing!
mondays are now officially jigsaw day! (sorry... lack of photographers in the house again!)

IT WAS SO WARM TODAY!!! i had both the windows down in my car! summer is coming! i am so excited!!!!! (excessive exclamation mark excited!)
okay, sorry. i'm calm now. today really was super warm, so it was all singlets and shorts for me. i wore a black boob tube under the singlet. and my karate hoodie for inside or in the shade :)

30 for 30 day six

sun(shine and gelato)day!
the sun was beautiful today but the breeze was icy, so i just sat in the sun all day eating gelato :)
 

sunnies (cotton on), white blouse (old work), cossie top (thrifted), shorts and thongs (hand-me-down).

i've been playing around with the special effects on my camera, can you tell? haha. i think it makes the photos more interesting! and it's fun to play with all the goofy effects.

30 for 30 day four

oh my gosh. day four already.
i was actually pretty happy with myself for juggling todays outfit the way i did (can you see how modest i am?). but seriously, i went to a wedding, and then went straight to work, and managed to style an outfit in a way that i only had to change one item to make it kid friendly.

blouse, thick stockings and shoes (mum's 2nd hand store), beige singlet and denim shorts (old work, blah), pocket watch necklace (tree of life), bangle (thrift store), amazing jade ring that you can't really see but there will be a post about soon (mum's 2nd hand store).

and for work, i just swapped the silk blouse for a plain comfy tee (and took off my jewelery).

the final picks (for the 30 for 30 challenge)

drum roll!
after much desperate debate, i present to you, the final contestants in my 30 for 30 wardrobe! from the top down...

 it's coming into spring where i live, so i had to be careful with my jacket choices. light but still warm? i went for a mix of both (and i just had to have the panda in there. daggiest, but softest ever).

 

yes, i know that there is a few shirts (and by a few i mean, perhaps slight overkill, but they're a staple ok!). i picked these in particular because i needed shirts that could be dressed up or down, so i can get multiple looks out of one item (kind of like a 30 for 30 cheat, or the subtle purpose of this exercise).

 

dresses because it is spring and getting warmer! (yay!!)

 

playsuits and cossies. loooots of love here.

 

jeans for chilly spring, shorts for warmer spring, and a skirt for dressing up :) slightly dodgy photo of the tights, but you get the idea. they are high waisted too :) fun!

i will most likely spend the majority of my time in my thongs (top left), because they are sooooo comfy! but for colder days i have my loafers. new sexy heels for going out, and clogs because i am so in love with them :)

wish me luck!
