30 for 30: The recap for Winter 2011
Saturday, March 05, 2011Whew! I am DONE. Who wants bubblies? It's on me *pops bottle*
Just a couple of thoughts to close out the last 30 days:
1) Did ya notice a theme? Bows galore! Staring at these pictures have really opened my eyes as to how many items I own with bows on top. And if it doesn't already come with a bow topper, I create my own. I'm officially bow crazy. (Everyone know I'm beyond help when it comes to scarves, so we don't have to go there, hehe).
2) My favorite outfit is from day 10. When something feels right, you just know. Also, like how I knew day 23 was a disaster -- but I still wore the outfit out. Still don't know what went on in my head that day.
3) Not shopping wasn't nearly as tough as I thought -- until this past week. I couldn't close out my browser fast enough, so I ended up reading (and lusting) after gorgeous picks by so many bloggers. If that isn't bad, the sale prices almost killed me. But no worries, being the lemming that I am, I plan on going binge shopping soon.
On to the picture recap with my 30 items:
Thank you for taking the time and following along with me on my first 30 for 30! All your kind words and encouragement meant so much. As of right now, I don't know if I would participate in another one (need a long nap to clear my head). But who knows? I may feel the itch come spring :)
My mini-hibernation from blog posting officially starts... right now.

8 is my all time favorite...I think I even saved pictures (haha creepy much?) from that day in my inspiration folder. :)
ReplyDeleteYay congrats on your shopping ban ending, can't wait to see your "binge" results :)
Looking through your recap, I just realized you have great poses. For some weird reason I can never come up with any good poses when I take my pictures. I never know what to do with myself or my arms. I just stick the to arms-at-the-side or hands-on-the-hips poses.

@Elle - Haha! No you're not alone cuz I've done the same thing :D So if that's creepy, then we can be creepy together.
ReplyDelete@Jenn - That's such a nice thing to say because I feel like I resort to the same ol' poses. I try to stick my hands in pockets (if there are any), cross my legs, bend my legs, cock my hip, play with my hand on my bag, or any of the above combinations. I'm not sure if that helped :)
I love seeing all your pictures together. I was going to tell you which one was my favorite, but I narrowed it down to 13 looks and hadn't even got through all of the pictures yet! Enjoy your posting hiatus.....and I'm looking forward to seeing what your shopping binge brings!!
ReplyDeleteWow good job Cee!!! It must have taken you forever to post all the pics at once:) Amazing! I couldn't decided between several...how about just major HATS off to you for completing this challenge! LOL :D

i love all the different ways you styled the chambray shirt. and you did a great job of mixing up your outfits!
ReplyDeletecute and little
@Callandra, @AubreyOhDang! - Lol, that's nearly half the outfits!
ReplyDelete@Really Petite - I started compiling the pictures every few days. I knew if I waited until the end, I wouldn't have gotten around to it, lol.
@May, @Lisa, @Madeline Weber, @kileen - Thank you for the kind words!
@Tara, @The Little Dust Princess, @Lisa - I am really, really surprised so many people like #8! If I'm honest with myself, it was one of my least favorite.
@Judy Nguyen - Just for the 30 for 30 challenge only. I don't do this often :)
@SewPetiteGal - You know, I'm glad I forced myself to wear dresses a lot more the past month. I really wish I had put in a couple pairs of heels too. I certainly don't wear those enough. Maybe next time? :)
I love all of your high-waisted styles and skinny belts! I'm also a huge fan of the striped shirt + colorful scarf combo. Great style!
ReplyDeleteyeah right now, i'm totally not feeling like i could handle another 30/30, but you never know!! your outfits were all fabulous, but i especially liked 26, 15 and 3. :)

ReplyDeleteThis is my favorite post when a blogger one of these challenges. So much goodness to see, all at once! Congrats again on finishing! :)
ReplyDeleteI love how you mix and matched everything. It was like everyday you have a brand new outfit. It really does a lot of wonders if you know how to layer your clothes. I learned a lot from this post! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteLove them all but my favorites are Day 8 and Day 25! Awesomeness!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to hear from you. Constructive criticisms welcome!
