And here we go! It’s May 1st so it’s time for the big 30×30 spring challenge! I am joining up with Kelly over at Mrs. in Training, along with several other bloggers for this challenge!
How it works:
I pick 30 items from my closet to mix and match all month. That’s tops, bottoms and dresses! I didn’t include shoes because I only really have a few pairs of cute shoes so that wouldn’t be very exciting. I could have done necklaces but I only wear interesting jewelry when I go out, so I figure that’s an exception for a few outfits!
Things to know about me related to this challenge:
I work from home. Therefore, I do not need “work” outfits because I can wear whatever I want to work! So, a lot of my outfits may be a little more casual than some of the other bloggers! Something else you should know is that May is weird month here for weather! I did not include any sweaters in this challenge but I might have to wear one or two, especially the first weeks or so when temps may be up and down into in the 50s!
Here is what I picked:
Group 1: (from top left and clockwise)
2 dresses and a maxi skirt (grey dress- Jcrew, black dress- Gap, skirt- Jcrew)
3 pants (Jcrew jeans, Jcrew white jeans and Express mint skinnies)
3 shorts (both prints are from Jcrew outlet, white shorts from Express)
Military jacket from Loft and 3 t shirts- I love my Old Navy vintage tees and i knew I couldn’t go a whole month without them!
Group 2: Shirts, shirts and more shirts!
I grouped my shirts by type:
Long Sleeves(from left to right): Jcrew, Limited, Jcrew, Express
Short Sleeves top right: Target and Jcrew outlet
Short Sleeves bottom left: Jcrew, Jcrew, ASOS and Limited
Sleeveless: Jcrew, Express, Jcrew, and Loft
What I have learned so far:
1- I have a lot more white shirts than I thought!
2- I really need to clean out my closet and donate stuff I don’t wear or like anymore!
3- I have no skirts that I would wear, only longer (knee length) skirts that I used to wear to work!
4- I need to branch out in my style just a little bit! All my clothes are from the same 4 stores!

Love it! I learned that I shop at the same 4 stores too! I also learned that I have waaaayyy more blue in my closet than I thought I did… although a few of those items were gifts and not really my fault. Love your shorts!
I am so excited about this challenge, how fun! Can't wait to see what you come up with!!
What a great idea. And a good way to see what you do and don't wear.
I'm really excited! I already knew you shopped at all the same stores 🙂 But that's okay, they make what you like. Are the Express shorts new, like this season, or older? I'm looking for some good white shorts and most of my shorts are from Express cuz I don't like them too short and everywhere else seems to do too short or high waisted.
All my clothes seemed to be from Target or Old Navy! So I REALLY need to branch out 🙂 Can't wait to see what you put together.
Hmmm. I am sort of wanting to do what you did with shoes, just not include them. We'll see. I need to get my items together tonight! I love all of your striped shirts!!
yay another jcrew loving girl!!! I love shopping there becasue the clothing is so timeless and classic and good quality!! Love the polkadotted shorts and the paisely print shorts!! Can't wait to see what else you come up with 🙂
As I was prepping for this last night I cleaned out 2 bags of clothes! I'm already benefiting from the remix. Haha. Good luck!
What a good idea!! Have fun! 🙂
now that i have calmed down a little from my freak out, i am totally excited about this.
Love those mint jeans and paisley shorts – SO cute!! Can't wait to see your outfits!
I am not a skirt person either! I still have some hanging in my closet "just in case" But really, I should just add them to my donation bags. 🙂
Though late, stopping from the North East Bloggers weekend hop. I'm thinking if some guys, such as myself, did this, it would be quite hard to pick 30 days worth of clothes. 🙂
