Gearing up for the Winter Edition of 30 for 30 Wardrobe Remix

Well, I've thought long and hard about my wardrobe remix pieces. I've done this remix in the past and stopped about halfway through--I hope to make it all the way to the finish line this time, go team go, lol!

Here's my clothing items for the challenge:

3 pairs of pants

3 skirts

2 blazers

5 cardigans

3 wrap dresses

7 tops

3 sweaters

4 pairs of shoes

Velvet Red & Stripes

Lately, I've been inspired by a few fashion bloggers. Today, I'm giving a shout out to Hillary of byhillary.com She sure can rock stripes like nobody else! Here's the inspiration outfit that I based my look off-- byhillary

I really like how Hillary combined both red & blue with stripes. Although I have a blue skirt, I decided at the last minute to rock pants. I think it came out fabulous! What do you think?

This skirt makes me feel very pretty :). I found it at a thrift store last week and was going to pass on it, but I'm so glad I decided to get it. I'm especially excited over the patterns and textures that I've got going on in this outfit.

I recently thrifted this purple cardigan and thought it would look fabulous with burgundy today. Apparently I need some new slacks for work as these (along with my black pair) are fitting loose. Suggestions? I'm thinking about buying the Gap Perfect Fit trousers.
