30x30: Day 30 The Fat Lady Sings, So it Must be Over!

The last day of the 30x30 is here finally and I thought it would never come. It wasn’t the most hardest thing I have accomplished, mostly because it didn’t have strong rules. But a lot of things I have started I never really finished either, so I am pretty much proud of myself at finishing this.
 30X30 Day 30 028a
Would I ever do this again? I question this to myself all the time, depending on my mood it could be yes and could be no. I think it would lean more towards yes if a few factors weren't an issue. Weather has been the worst part of it this year, NYC got dumped with so much snow that it was hard to be warm dry and stylish 90% of the time. Another factor I wish that wasn’t is my job and it’s wardrobe limitations, I work in a construction yard/garage and its very dirty as well as being unsafe for bare legs and open toe shoes. Granted I could change out of my work boots but I don’t think that it was fair to the whole thing.
Would this work for the normal person, yes I think it would. Perhaps I’ll try it again in the summer when the weather is better. I definitely will be doing a sort of outfit limitation when I go on my trip next month, the thing is Ill have probably around 5 pieces and 7 days to do them in. I figure that one out closer to the actual dates.
This definity didn’t stop me from shopping for more clothes or shoes, I bought a lot of those during the 30 days.
Hello, my name is Nicole and I am a shopaholic.

Haha!
There are a few things that were a positive with doing this remix.I got to be very creative with figuring out outfits, so much so that I was able to find more that 30 outfits with just 28 pieces. I also loved watching how others put together their outfits. I am also glad it got my out of the rut of wearing just tee shirts and jeans to work and always trying to figure out what to wear everyday.
I think it is now time to relax and wear some sweats for awhile, haha just kidding, I don’t actually own real sweats.
I’ll have to see when the next remix if I will do it or not.
Whatever ♥

30x30: Days 25, 26, 27, 28 and 29 Finish Line is in Sight.


I had a little bit of fun this weekend, I spent the whole weekend with my friend and her family at their house. Her daughter even took my outfit shot for Day 26 and my friend and I got to spend some adult time (after the kiddies went to bed) to drink.
My friend is in the process of finishing up the renovation of her house, but the main part of the house is done and I got to use one of the bedrooms.
Day 24 and 25 017
Isn't this bed just gorgeous.
She still has the main kitchen (this house has a second guest kitchen) to do on the first floor and a few other things like an elevator (yes an elevator, the house has 4 floors), the landscaping and some minor trim details. I can’t wait till it is all done, I will take more pictures to show here when it is all done.

Day 25 was a windy day and Day 26 was taken by my friend’s 7 year old daughter
30x30 Day 27 063a
This was my lounge around the house with company outfit, my Aunt and Uncle came over for dinner.  I had a huge burn on my forehead from a curling iron so I had a huge band-aid on it so I covered it with my new scarf.

I almost didn’t take Day 28 because I was so sick, I actually took 3 shots and went to bed and slept until this morning. My hair was in a bun from Monday morning until Tuesday morning so that’s why its is so curly. I am not to enthused with this burgundy sweater so I am putting it into my clothing to be donated a long with the black turtle neck and the black cords.
I cant believe that I am almost done and that I made it this far with 28 pieces of my wardrobe. I almost feel like my Day 30 outfit has to be outstanding but I tell you that it wont be. I haven’t been feeling well so well so I want to be as comfortable as possible.
Speaking of comfortable I’m going to bed.
Whatever ♥
