30 for 30: Recap & Reflections

It’s time to share a recap of my winter 30 for 30 remix! There were two main reasons that I decided to participate in my second 30 for 30 challenge. First one being that I’ve been feeling a bit discontent with my wardrobe lately, and I needed to see my closet through fresh eyes. The second reason is that as a new mom, I needed a little kick in the pants with being creative with my wardrobe again. I’ve been pretty good about getting dressed everyday, but I too quickly fell into the habit of putting on a “mom uniform,” and I was getting bored. This challenge was just the refresher I needed.

Except for just one day, I took all of my own photos for this challenge. I’ve been wanting to start taking my own outfit photos for flexibility’s sake, and I figured that this challenge would be the perfect time for me to start using my tripod and self-timer on a regular basis. I know that indoor photos are not ideal, but being that it is the dead of winter and I need to sneak my photos in while my baby is napping, I’ll take it!

Here are the 30 outfits I created over the past month, with handy links beneath each photo if you want to see more details about any of them.

(25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)

Each of my 30 items was worn at least twice during this remix challenge. As for my most worn articles of clothing, there was a tie between my grey jacket, chambray shirt, striped t-shirt dress, black mini skirt, and red skinnies, which were all worn four times. The shoes I wore the most were my black booties with leopard detail, which were a part of nine outfits!

Here are my four favorite outfits from this challenge:

So, with two 30 for 30 challenges under my belt, would I do another one? I sure would, but with one stipulation. I would really like to do one during a different season, since both of the remixes I’ve done have taken place in the winter. I’d love to have open toed shoes or sandals in the mix, and be able to go without tights!
