Just Peachy ( 30 by 30: fifteen)

 Dress: Thrifted // Flats & Earrings: Target // Necklace: Mia's Mirror (HEB Plus) // Sunglasses: Forever21 // Bracelet: JcPenney

On accident I assembled an outfit that falls into the 30 by 30 challenge. This is outfit fifteen meaning I'm halfway through the challenge (finally!). I wasn't even thinking about the challenge when I got dressed. I wanted to put together the perfect summer look. I don't think it get's much more summery than a white/cream colored dress accessorized with blush/peachy tones. I'm sort of obsessed with this blush color currently. It goes with nearly everything and it's a color that works in both summer and fall when paired with the right colors ;) I'm looking out for the perfect blush handbag next.

What's your perfect summer look?

I had fun with this photo session as you can probably tell by the massive amount of pictures in this post. It was hard to narrow it down! I didn't manage to get those blue bonnet pictures just yet but there's still plenty of time to find the perfect blue bonnet patch and strike a pose ;) 

I'm really enjoying this spring and the slower pace of blogging. I've thought long and hard a decided that no fuss blogging is definitely for me. So with that in mind I've decided to nix the extra features on HN like my blogger spotlight (Big Thanks to Katie & Gabby for taking part in it!) & I even enjoyed writing a few posts with tips but I've really felt more relaxed lately without scheming new ideas. I'm just not that kind of blogger & I'm cool with that. From here on out this place will focus on outfits, plain & simple. I'm still planning on finishing out this 30 x 30 series (no matter how long it takes!) & after that I'm keeping things around here simple. Funny thing is that has me even more excited to blog again. When you do this for a few years it's super easy to experience burn out and I've definitely been there from putting so much pressure on myself. I've come so close to calling it quits and instead of throwing away everything I've worked on for the past five years I've decided to just do what I want to do.

This ended up turning into more of a rant than I intended it to but my message is pretty simple. In the blogging world it can get really easy to get caught up in what other blogs are doing, and if you try to do what other blogs are doing chances are you'll feel dissatisfied with your own blog, so just do your own thing and don't worry about everyone else.

Hat & Flats: Target // Top: JcPenney // Skirt, Glasses, & Belt: Thrifted // Bracelets: JcPenney & Pacsun

This is the first outfit from my 30 x 30 challenge since I decided to mix it up with regular outfits in between these 30 x 30 remix outfits and the funny thing is I love this outfit. I didn't feel forced by the clothing choices, in fact this one felt completely natural and is an outfit I'll probably be wearing a lot this spring. I just love combining chambray, olive & cognac. They go so well together! 

What's your favorite color combination to wear?

So today I decided to edit the 30 x 30 items. I decided to swap out these flats for my previous selected coat. I hadn't styled my coat so far and with the weather warming up in Texas I don't see it making it into any outfits any time soon. These flats on the other hand will be getting a lot of use this spring so it was sort of a no brainer. I wore this outfit out and about today while looking at apartments with my husband. Pretty sure we found our new home, which is super exciting so you'll be seeing some new settings in future photos. I'm also happy to announce that it looks like spring has arrived here in central Texas. I couldn't be happier. Spring may be my new favorite time of year. I've always loved fall but spring is definitely a close second, & it's finally here!

Each outfit in the 30 x 30 challenge gets more and more, well, challenging. This outfit is somewhat reminiscent of a past outfit with a few changes, as a lot of these outfits have been. I guess that's what I get for including pieces I wear a lot! These black jeans have gotten so much wear that they've begun to fade and look dark blue. I suppose that means I'd better replace them soon. I'm starting to slowly add a few things into my wardrobe to update it for spring anyway. I actually spied a pair of high-waisted black jeans at Target while shopping recently but of course they were out in my size. Still debating if I should order them online without being able to try them on, or if I should just continue my hunt. I'm sort of holding out hope I'll be able to thrift the perfect pair of high-waisted jeans. Hey, a girl can dream right?

 Hat, Leggings, Necklace, & Cardigan: Target // Scarf: A Gift // Belt: Thrifted // Boots: JcPenney

This outfit marks me being one-third through my 30 x 30 challenge. It's hard to believe I'm only ten outfits into the challenge and that it's now spanned across three months. That was never my intention but if I'm being honest, this challenge is a lot more difficult than I expected it to be. It's not always easy to be inspired to create new and exciting outfits from the thirty items I selected for this challenge. This outfit is probably one of my favorites so far, so I think that accessorizing has a lot to do with it for me. I guess I need to kick myself in gear in the accessories department, and also with being consistent in taking outfit photos. I'm going to blame that part on winter ;)
