Finally! I’ve finished posting my 30 for 30 challenge (you can check out all 30 of my looks by clicking on the “30 for 30 by A.” tag below). I really enjoyed this little experiment, even if it did take me twice as long as I had planned. That seems to be the way things most of my life plans go (eh em… dissertation). But, it’s done now and I am quite happy with most of my looks. I think I will save the recap for another time.
For outfit #29 I combined the my workhorse skirt, which I surprisingly only wore for 3 out of 30 outfits, and my ruffly patterned top. I included this top in my 30 items because it was new and I was worried about working it into my regular clothing rotation. The challenge helped show me it’s versatility and now I can’t wait to mix it in with the rest of my closet.

For my final remix I tried a little bit of everything! I wore an item purchased just before the challenge started (the sweater dress) and an old standby (striped skirt). I picked and item repeated over and over in the challenge (flannel pumps) and one worn only once before (the plaid blazer). I mixed my neutrals and my pattens (wide stripes, pin stripes, tweed, and plaid). I also wore a dress as a top. I like the richness of the textures and colors and the playfulness of the silhouette and pattern mix. All and all I think it’s a good way to end this little style experiment. Now I can move on to outfits featuring some Christmas gifts!
Thanks for sticking with me and for having a little patience as I slowly plucked away at my 30 for 30!
Outfit 30 is just so, so, so amazing! I love the silhouette of the skirt, and the shoes are really beautiful.
YAY, all done. Outfit #29 is hands down my favorite. I think the colors/print/silhouette are just incredible! Excited to see your Christmas gifts :)
You did it!
I have always loved the skirt in outfit 30, you just don’t see a lot of full A line skirts around here. Cannot wait to see the new duds.
Congrats on being done, I think I love these two outfits the best out of all of them!
Outfit 30 is BEYOND gorgeous. I love everything about it–it’s my epitome of academic dressing. The mix of stripes, the slightly rumpled skirt, the colored pumps with tights. It’s just amazing.
I love both #29 and #30! There’s something so fantastic about those UO pumps, and these are both such classy, yet totally “A” outfits (not that you’re not classy…). :)
congrats on finishing and for sticking with it.
