30 for 30 Challenge: 16-20

Sorry I haven't posted much lately, we have all been passing around the sickness here at home. This is also my last 30 for 30 post, so I guess it's more like 30 for 20. The weather is now in the 80's each day and I picked out sweaters, pants and long sleeves for a lot of my challenge items so for the sake of comfort and not sweating to death, I give up. I give you my final 5:

30 for 30 Challenge: Fifteen

I have always loved gingham, I think it has something to do with being from Kentucky. It feels very southern to me. And southern equals comfort. Speaking of southern, those of you from the south, do people act like you're an idiot because you have a southern accent. I mean I only have one when I say certain words but I notice that people sometimes talk down to me. It's so irritating, I wanna say, 'I'm just as smart as you and nicer to boot'! Us ladies in the south can be super sweet when we want to but don't piss us off cause we can be sassy too. (All the while batting our eyelashes.)

30 for 30 Challenge: Fourteen

I am so behind on posting my 30 for 30 outfits....life has been crazy busy around here lately. I never thought that you could use this mustard yellow as a neutral but it seems to go with everything. I am also mixing brown and black in this outfit which I haven't really done before but I like how it turned out. Yes, this is me living on the wild side...pretty sad.

Do you have a clothing item that seems to go with everything in your closet? Do share!

30 for 30 Challenge: Thirteen

So I pretty much love this outfit, the colors and the comfort are what won me over. I love all shades of blue! Plus, I love this cute little owl pin I got at Target a few years ago.

The weather here in Florida lately has been making my challenge difficult, we've been in the 80's on some days and I have a bunch of cardigans and such in my items. I'm not complaining but it's making it a little more challenging to put together outfits that I won't potentially melt in.

30 for 30 Challenge: 10, 11, 12

Hello friends, I have been a bad remixer and blogger lately. I wore all of these last week but never had the time to blog about them. We had a big fundraiser this weekend so I was preparing for that all week. I give you 10, 11 and 12!

30 for 30 Challenge: Nine & Happy Valentine's

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!
I felt very festive in my heart patterned tights today but they kept slipping down, I think I pulled them up 20 times. I hate it when tights do that!

We had a great day, Syd had a cute 'tea party' at school and got the cutest little valentines from her classmates. I went to her class to take photos and eat with her but she had a meltdown when I left. I felt so bad; I could hear her crying when I was walking out. You fellow Mommies know what I'm talking about. The hubs and I went to dinner tonight which was delicious but of course when we got home Sydney was still awake. (Like an hour past her bedtime.) Ah, the joy of Grandma's, they never follow your instructions. I hope you all had a great day!

Dress, Cardi & Tights: Target
Flats: Sam Edelmen

My little valentine!

30 for 30 Challenge: Eight

This was my outfit on Sunday for a day of furniture shopping and eating lunch at Five Guys (love their burgers!). I love this bird print top from Anthro, it's so adorable and comfy at the same time. Perfect for a Moma on the go!

Shirt: Anthropologie

30 for 30 Challenge: Six & Seven

I think some of my co-workers think I'm a little kooky wearing all these crazy tights all the time. But I really liked this outfit, I thought it was fun and sassy.

Dress, Cardigan, Tights & Belt: Target
Shoes: Sam Edelman

Now this is a I ran out of clean clothes and I want to be comfy outfit. Plus I was having a scary bad hair day, hence the pulled back hair which is rare for me. I do love the color of this cardigan though and I got a lot of compliments on it.

Top & Pants: Target
Cardigan: Land's End Canvas
Oxfords: Kohl's

30 for 30 Challenge: Five

I am really loving this outfit, especially my new (got before the challenge started) blue belt from Target. I can see myself using it a lot in the future. Oh Target, what would I do without you? Probably still have a significantly larger amount of money in my bank account but what fun is that! That's what happens when you live within a mile of a Target, you stop for bread and milk and you leave with about 10 things you didn't know you needed. Yes, I said needed. Who doesn't need a sparkly box of tissues and a dish towel with cupcakes on it?

30 for 30 Challenge: Four

I'm really not mad as it appears in this picture, the sun literally came out for 5 minutes today and it peeked it's head out and shines right in my face as we were taking pictures. This is the least angry looking of the 10 the hubby took. At least Syd looks adorable!

Hope everyone had a great weekend, the weather is still yucky and rainy here but I keep telling myself, 'at least it doesn't snow here'. Craziest moment of our weekend: Syd pooped on the floor! I took her out of the bath and she ran into her room before I could get a diaper on her and she came back to me saying that she pooped. She wasn't lying.....ah the things we do as parents.

30 for 30 Challenge: Three

Casual Friday! I was on the ball today and made sure that I took my picture before I walked around in the drizzly rain all day. (In case you're wondering, that's why my hair looks decent!) I have NEVER been a fan of yellow in the past but I'm digging this mustard color lately. I'm calling this my Fashionable Mustard Lumberjack outfit...hey I did cut a branch off of a tree today. Does that count?

Also, this cardigan made me want a hot dog all day. (Insert joke here.)

30 for 30 Challenge: Two

Good things about today:
Love wearing my sweet boots
Got a new color copier at work = new toy for Sara
Went to Target (fav store)
Sydney said awesome things like, 'I love you Mommy' and 'Ooh Pretty shoes'

Bad things about today:
Frizzy hair courtesy of rainy day
Always feel awkward when I go to Target wearing red
Umbrella rendered useless because of wind blowing sideways

Dress: Land's End Canvas
Cardigan, Tights & Leaf Necklace: Target

I think Sydney is on to how this taking pictures of yourself works, she is always crashing my shots now!

30 for 30 Challenge: One

Day one is in the bag! Woot! I really like this outfit except that when I got outside this morning, I realized that I had an abundance of blue on the lower half of my body. I kinda felt like Violet from Willy Wonka or a Smurf (Smurfette, of course). If I could do this one over I would choose to wear my gray tights to break up the blue a bit. I love this cardi and I always get lots of compliments when I wear it. Looking forward to seeing everyone else's first looks.

30 for 30 Challenge Picks

Well folks, the 30 for 30 Challenge starts tomorrow, which turns out in my favor since I spent today at home in my PJ's with a sick kiddo. Here are my picks for this round. Good luck to everyone who is participating; I can't wait to see what you come up with!

30 for 30 Challenge: Number Twenty Eight

Dress: Target
Cardigan: Target
Belt: Target
Sandals: Aerosoles

This challenge is going to kill me. I am sooooo tired of wearing the same things and it's like 100 degrees everyday here so wearing these cardigans is getting annoying. I am so ready for Fall weather but that doesn't happen in Florida until about December!

I am trying to decide whether I want to get my hair cut or grow it out some more. I usually always have pretty short hair but I'm kinda liking this length. (Most days!) I definitely need to get my highlights done soon, they are scary.

Here are some cuts I like:
