#29 - Boot Mix-Up

One problem with having the same pair of boots in 2 colors is that you are more likely to get confused and wear black boots when you meant to wear brown boots.  I have no idea how I ended up in black boots on this day, but I didn't notice it until I was in a meeting at 3:30.  Sitting at my desk, I don't see my shoes, but sitting at a meeting, I was surprised to find that my boots were not brown, as intended, but black.

I think the outfit is still okay, but I would have preferred my brown boots.  I also realized that this outfit is basically the same as #5, but with my vertical striped dress instead of the horizontal striped skirt.  I'm so creative!

#25 - Try, Try Again

After my first attempt at styling this striped dress, I was worried it was a little too juvenile for me.  My second try is much better (partially helped by outdoor photos)!  I think adding the color with a cardigan instead of crazy tights is a better idea.

I'm so far behind on posting my outfits.  I'm officially done with the wearing portion of the 30X30, but I'll be finishing up the blogging portion next week.

#21 - Forever Young

This is an outfit I created on Polyvore, and it looked like a good idea on the collage.  Then I put it on, and decided the polka dot scarf was too much.  Then I felt like I was trying to look younger than I am.  Each of these items is somewhat "junior-ish," so combining them all just didn't quite work out.  But I had to get to work, so I just went with it.  Not my favorite look, but hopefully no one judged me too harshly.  Be honest, do I look like a 29-year-old pretending to be 19?  Because if you can't trust strangers on the internet to give reliable feedback, who can you trust?
