30 x 30 Challenge

I love to shop. I love to window shop when I can't afford to shop. I love the smell of malls, the hustle and bustle of other shoppers and I love to see new trends and try to make them myself, from consignment and thrift store finds. This challenge's origin is from Kendi at Kendi Every Day (if I am wrong, please let me know so I can give due credit!) This challenge is simple. You choose 30 items and make outfits for 30 days. 30 x 30. I am doing this to challenge myself to shop in my own closet and to use what I have in new ways! It requires creativity and possibly a bit of boldness! Some of you might only have 30 things, while others may have a closet jam-packed full of things you don't wear. Either way, I challenge you to do this with me! If an entire month isn't for you, choose different parameters...7x4, 10x10..what EVER suits your fancy! :) I have posted my pieces below and will be starting the challenge tomorrow! I would love to see what you come up with, please email me paigetolle(at)live.com and I will post your photos as well. Get creative. Be Bold!

I am going to post outfits to the blog in a weekly post, but there is a good chance my facebook or Instagram will be updated daily, so follow me! I look forward to seeing your outfits!

Have a Happy Day!

  3. I have 5 weeks left of pregnancy! I guarantee I have no more than 30 items to choose from at this point :P I love minimalism, especially since I DON'T like to shop! Good idea 30x30! Laura W

    1. I am in the same boat, only I'm in the awkward, post-partum everything is either too big, or too small stage! :) Hope to get some photos if you decide to participate!
