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...

Periwinkle, Aubergine, and Ombre Heels

Day Fourteen: A new striped shirt (that has a fun zipper down the back!) and an aubergine pencil skirt with ombre heels that have been sitting in the back of my closet for a few years.

Top: Forever 21, Skirt: Nordstroms, Heels: BCBGirls, Necklace: Macy's

Cruella

Day Thirteen: I look like a nicer, more sane version of Cruella Deville, but it's fun.

Dress: Prabal Gurung for Target, Shoes: Steve Madden, Watch: Target, Bracelet: Forever 21, Necklace: Macy's, Earrings: Nordstroms

Day Twelve: Yesterday was kind of a lazy (for me) Saturday, so I wanted to wear something really comfortable. 

Shirt: Forever 21, Shirt: Down East Basics (Old), Shoes: Chinese Laundry (really old!)

Black Lace and Turquoise

Day Eleven: a black crocheted lace dress and some turquoise ballet flats. I like the combo, but it feels a tad dressy for the daytime.

The hard parts of the 30 Days of Dresses challenge have been to not only choose something that's fun to wear, and pairing up things I normally wouldn't in my closet, but also making sure that it's appropriate for bringing my kids to school, running errands, etc... I've also learned that "dressing up" every day doesn't really take me that much longer to get ready than if I were just throwing on jeans and a tee shirt, it just takes forethought.

Navy & Emerald

Day Ten: sometimes it's nice to just have a couple things in your closet you can throw together when you're in a hurry, and come away still looking put together. I started out with a completely different outfit this morning, but was running out of time, and wasn't happy with it. Closet staples, like a pencil skirt, but in a fun Emerald colour, save the day!

Peplum, Watercolours, and Buckles

Day Nine: Yellow peplum top over a silky watercolour dress with buckled shoes from Report Signature.
