My Iphone screencapture of some of my 30 day items
And away we go! Last night Nicole and I had a blast preparing for this challenge (read my intro here!). There was much giggling, culling through clothes, and drinking of wine. It was kind of like playing barbies but on a grown-up scale. ‘Ken’, A.K.A my husband Andrew , wisely stayed on the other side of the house. One thing that was interesting to us was how few clothes were needed to make 30 days worth of unique outfits. You can check out the items in more detail yourself on Lucky’s Outfit Page, but essentially it involves: 3 dresses, 3 skirts, 4 jackets, 1 vest, 1 cardigan, 6 tops, 2 pants, 1 pair of shorts, 2 belts, 2 scarves, and 5 pairs of shoes. To me, a person who fantasizes about having a closet with a room of its own, that is not a lot of clothes!
Like Mother like Daughter
A place for everything and everything in its place!
I thought it would be fun to give them their own place, so I brought in a rolling rack that I normally keep in the laundry room. I’m not going to lie, the tiny type-A in me loves it! It is going to make finding my items a snap in the morning, and my daughter Calliope is already having a blast playing with my shoes: be still my beating heart!
At any rate, my poor closet is not going to get much use for the next month with the exception of my underwear drawer .
Anyway, without further ado, The OOTD (‘Outfit of the Day’ for you non fashion blog obsessed folks):
Outfit Deets: Top-XXI, Skirt-Thakoon Target Go International, Belt-XXI, Shoes-Target, Nursing necklace: me made!
Working on my soon-to-be mad posing skills
Now that there’s pictures, how did the first day go?
Welp, when I put this baby on and came out into the kitchen my husband remarked, “Aren’t you starting your challenge today?” Once I replied that I had and that this was the first outfit he said, “Oh, I thought you would look different, but this seems like something you would normally wear.” <—–TADA! I couldn’t have said it better myself! I feel like Lucky broke me in easy because this is definitely something I would come up with and wear. The Thakoon Target skirt in particular, gets a ton of normal play in my wardrobe. Maybe not the most exciting or inventive outfit for me, but it is comfortable. To be fair, the original top is supposed to be a 3/4 sleeve striped boatneck, but 1. this is Florida and its hot. 2. Boatneck= impossible to nurse in. As an actively BFing Momma with a child who likes to snack, easy access is key! As you will see later on in the challenge, I had to swap a shift dress for something a little more boob-airy (BFing girls need air! ;D) even though I actually have a beautiful shift in my closet.
First day on a scale of 1-10. Ease of wear: 9, Excitement:4.
How ’bout you, What would you give my first day? Do you think it was cheating to switch out the boatneck for something more boring? And most importantly, how are my posing skills?
See ya tomorrow!
