Gray and Burgundy

Hey everybody! I'm definitely 'matchy matchy' today, however the vest totally gave this gray dress a new life. I'm searching for a replacement for the dress--it's seen better days.

Hey lovely bloggers!! I had a chance to use my husband's backup camera to document this outfit. My oldest daughter did an excellent job capturing me chillin' :)! There's nothing like the simplicity of a black & gray outfit. What's awesome is that I got this necklace for FREE from a coworker. It pays to be nice to people!!

I really like how the addition of a small leather belt gives this blouse a little more definition near my waist. The darker blue of this blouse is rocking my world!

I'm featured in FabFindsUnder$50 calender for today--yay! Here's another take on pastels :).

I really like this combination of light pink and green.

My baby has been sick practically all week so I'm definitely at my creative best taking pictures with a clingy baby nearby, lol!

Academichic recently linked to a really cool color scheme website. It's awesome stuff! colorschemedesigner.com/ Playing around with the site, I decided to try a hot pink triad.

I've worn all of these things multiple times but never together, oooh! lol! For today's outfit, I took inspiration from Kimberly's calender which calls for a colorful skirt, cardigan, and fun belt combo. While I didn't have a fun belt, I did tie up the cardigan which looks cute, lol!

I can't wait to come into some serious money 'cause it seems like I'm wearing the same things over and over! What was I thinking by signing up for this 30 outfit challenge!?

Not my best work, but I'm being diligent about documenting everything, good and not so good :). It has been getting a little tough trying to come up with different ways to wear my items. What do you do when you get into a clothing rut (besides buy new stuff)?

I'm so proud of myself for rocking this skirt as a shirt. I am definitely going to try this again!! Woohoo!! Everything has been worn before.

In other news, I tried a Caramel Frappe from McDonald's for the first time--it's actually pretty tasty! I'm sure it probably contains a day's amount of sugar, however, haha!

While figuring out what items to include in the challenge, I knew I wanted to try different color schemes with this skirt. I've worn it with purple, lime, and pink. Cream and gray gives the skirt a soft feel which I love! I didn't include any pants in my chosen items so I've got to get real creative with my dresses and skirts. I'm up for the challenge!!
