If you've been following my posts, you probably know that I've spoken of starting the 30 For 30 Challenge soon, yes? Anyway, the ladies of Within Color have chosen a date! The Challenge officially commences Monday, August 5th!
The rules of the 30 For 30 Challenge are as follows:
1. You select 30 items from your wardrobe and mix and match them to make 30 different outfits over a period of 30 days.
2. These items must include tops, bottoms, pairs of shoes, and outerwear.
3. Accessories (jewelry, hats, scarves, belts, handbags, etc.) are not part of these 30 items. You can accessorize as you wish! In fact, use accessories creatively to give similar outfits a new spin.
4. You cannot shop until the Challenge is complete.
Since I'm a Friday contributor, I will be posting recaps of my outfits then (my first recap post will be on August 9th), but the other participating contributors, Michelle, Alicia, and Toni, will be posting their own recaps on other days. Nonstop style inspiration!
The items I've selected are under the cut.
(clockwise) striped top from Forever 21, chambray top from J. Crew, black t-shirt from Forever 21, star print blouse from Forever 21, cream shell from Zara, white linen shirt from Forever 21, cream tank blouse from Forever 21, and black blouse from Forever 21
I previously stated that my restriction this time around would be that I would only choose ONE polka dotted item. I am a woman of my word. It's hard to see in the picture above, but the chambray top has white polka dots.
(left to right) snakeskin print tank dress from Joe Fresh, leopard print shift from J. Crew, and floral shift from J. Crew
(left to right) paperbag waist trousers from Forever 21, geometric print pants from H&M, floral print pants from H&M, and black jeans from Forever 21
(left to right) black midi skirt from Forever 21, faux leather skirt from Warehouse via ASOS, black shorts from Zara, leopard print mini from H&M, and bronze circle skirt from Forever 21
(left to right) grey cardigan from Uniqlo, camo jacket from Vila via ASOS, navy jacket from Forever 21, and jean jacket from Forever 21
I should note that I have a trenchcoat at the tailor that I'd ideally throw in here instead of the cardigan, but I put the cardigan in there just in case I can't get the coat back in time.
(clockwise) taupe wedges from Target, calfhair heels from Zara, silver sandals from Forever 21, black flats from H&M, red sneakers from K-Mart, and black heels from Forever 21
I'm proud to say that out of these 30 items, I've never featured 27 of them on the blog. Again, e-mail us at withincolor@gmail.com if you want to join us in this challenge! If you choose to follow along via Instagram, tag us at @withincolor and use the hashtag "#the30for30challenge".
