Pink & Houndstooth

Day Twenty-Two: I was sick, so I did not take a picture yesterday. I wore a black maxi dress with a yellow and white striped shirt over it. Nothing fancy, but I was comfortable and sick as a dog.

Day Twenty-Three: What's more fun than a houndstooth dress? Adding bright pink and bows!

Bonjour!

Day Twenty-One: Today's outfit started with an inspiration from altantic-pacific.blogspot.com. I love every single one of her outfits, but I don't have nearly the same budget she does.

 She also puts everything up on Pinterest, so it's easy to repin and reference outfits later on. I started by buying a $12 shirt from Forever 21, and using stamps and fabric paint I already had on hand, made my own version of her shirt for about a fifth of the cost.

I then paired it with a bright orange skater skirt from Top Shop, cow print shoes by Guess (because, why not?)

I also added Eiffel Tower earrings because it seemed fitting with the shirt.

Within the next couple of weeks, I'm going to attempt making my own red skirt (hopefully it will turn out similar to the one above!) and then I will pair this same outfit with red ankle strap heels I have.

Jailbird Glam/Turquoise and White

Day Nineteen: A new striped dress from TopShop. Two things I'm realizing about my wardrobe as I'm doing this challenge is that, 1.) I wear a lot more black than I thought, and 2.) I rock a lot of stripes. I'm okay with that.

I wore this dress with plain black flip flops for a birthday party, and threw on an emerald cardigan when it got a little chilly towards the end of the night. I skipped jewelry since the stripes were pretty bold on their own.

 Day Twenty: A new dress from Dorothy Perkins. It's a lot looser fitting than I was expecting it to be, but sometimes that's nice. I added the belt to break up the colours a little bit, and wore cream opened-toed heels.

Only ten more days to go on the Dresses/Skirts Challenge. It's getting tougher since I only have one or two more outfits already planned ahead for.

Black, White, and Red All Over

Day Eighteen: One of those mornings where I started out wearing one thing, and ended up in about two or three different outfits until I decided on this dress. Mostly because it matched my new lipstick. I'm still not sure how I feel about the lipstick, since it's not usually something I wear, but it is kind of fun.

Florals and Neon

Day Seventeen: A fun floral dress with neon flats.

Dress: Prabal Gurung for Target, Flats: Lucky Brand, Earrings: Target

Pink and Orange Striped Maxi

Day Sixteen: I got up at five this morning to go register one of my kids for Kindergarten. I knew we'd be standing in line for a while, and that it would be pretty cold, so I sort of broke my challenge and wore pants because I didn't want to freeze to death. After the two oldest boys were at school later that morning, I went back home and "dressed."

I paired it with silver flats, and fun pink beaded hoop earrings.

Jacket: Ralph Lauren, Dress: Mossimo.

Black and Blue

Day Fifteen: Just keeping it simple with a black pencil skirt and blue top today.

On the plus side, I was digging through some bins at the bottom of my closet and found these shoes that I had totally forgotten about!

Skirt: Nordstroms, Top: Nicole Miller (JC Penny), Shoes: BCBGirls

Today also marks the halfway point of my challenge! Here's to fifteen more skirts and dresses...
