30with30, Week One
The Soft Swoop
And so it begins.
Here are the first 3 outfits from the 30×30 challenge. My sister Lauren & I are embarking on this challenge to switch up our wardrobe a bit. We got the idea from Kendi, Kendi Everyday, and hope that you’ll join us too!
Outfit # 1
*watch: Target; earrings: Francesca’s
Outfit #2
*necklace: Ebay, earrings: The Limited
Outfit #3
The challenge has started off easy! I think I’m going to have more trouble when it comes to the more casual outfit ideas because I tend to dress up more than dress down. But, we’ll see if I can do it.
And even if the challenge was over now, it was worth it–because my sister and I spent about an hour going through my closet pairing items together. And there was plenty of laughter involved too.
Are you joining us? If so, be sure to link up over at From My Grey Desk! We’ll choose our favorite outfit the monday after the link up, and feature it during the next link up!

You are fabulous! 🙂 My sister and I are close too. I think if all four of us ever met we would have a lot of fun! Keep up the great work.

I noticed the necklace in outfit #2 is from ebay. I found it there a while ago and was nervous to order knowing that it was coming from China!?! Do you know what seller you ordered from or do you have any tips for getting a good product?
I’ve actually heard some back things about the seller I bought from so unfortunately I don’t have a recommendation! Sorry!
I just ordered one on EBay from loveshop80. I paid through PayPal, and they sent me a tracking number just a couple of days later. I can’t wait!! I’ll let you know if I have any problems.
I have ordered from loveshop80 twice now. I purchased the turquoise necklace and when I received it, the chain was broken. I emailed her and she sent me another, no questions asked. I was so pleased with it, that I ordered the yellow one from her as well. I recommend loveshop80.
Where’d you get your tops? I LOVE the grey one!! I love this idea too and want to join in on the fun. Hopefully I can pull something together this week!
the places I bought the tops from are listed on the photos.
Oh I completely missed that! Oops! Thanks 🙂
I love these options! I think they will be great versatile pieces for the challenge 🙂

Kate! You need to go to http://www.mamabargains.com/ today. They have a variety of colors in a necklace that looks a lot like that “fake Anthro” one. Thought of you!
Kate:
All you would need to do to “dress” down is untuck your t-shirts…that would instantly give your look a little more casual look I think…just a suggestion!
Kate- I love all of these looks! I almost bought that JCrew skirt, and whenever I went back to get one, they were all gone! I could kick myself! Lol
Have a great day!
Very cute outfits! I like your skirts. To dress them down, I think you’d just have to switch out the skirts and heels for jeans and flats. I really like your accessories!
Exactly! Switch out skirts for jeans or cute capris- lost the wedges to flats or cute sandals – untuck and be free ~ lol ~
Love this idea! It inspired me to create a challenge for myself to wear EVERY piece of clothing I own in new ways and accessorize each one!
Love all these outfits! Good luck with your challenge!

Hi Kate – I love your blog and have been recommending it to all the gals at work.
For outfit #1, would you mind saying what the color code for the skirt is?
Is it ‘Neon Rose’ or ‘Poppy’
I found it online at this link but could not figure which color you have:

I love all three outfits, but I especially love the second one! You look so pretty!!
I just bought a skirt today that resembles the coral one!!! It was inspired by you! 😉 Is there anyway I could possibly send you a picture of my outfit creation??
