21 Day Challenge: Day 21 i.e. The Grand Finale!

Day 21
   Create your own killer outfit


Ahh...it's the end of the challenge!
I'm so glad that I happened to stumble upon that big orange button {see above} and decided to participate in this challenge. Kayla did a great job and the fact that she's been tracking points for the prizes, is pretty amazing since there has a ton of people participating.

I really tried to step outside of my box for this outfit and I was very pleased with the result. Starting from the beginning of this challenge, I had noticed a lot of people, Kayla included, who would pair their dresses with a top and then wear a belt so it would look like it was a skirt. I had never really thought about doing this so I tried it out. Tons of inspiration came from the many striped skirts I've seen and have been wanting and since I have a striped dress, I tried to make it look like a skirt with the addition of a black top and belt. I was a tad over ambitious with the boots, but I just changed those later. I made the flower pin and loved the pop of color. 

Striped Dress- Old Navy
Top & Belt- Target
Boots- Payless
Flower Pin- Made by me

If you didn't do the challenge this time, I hope if there is a next time, that you'll participate as well! It was lots of fun and it really stretched my thinking on my "boring and old" wardrobe. 

21 Day Challenge: Day 13

Day 13
   Wear neutral with a pop of color

I had my eye on this cardigan for a while but I really wasn't in the mood to pay full price since everything at Target eventually goes on sale. Alas, it went on sale and now it lives in my closet. I like it because it looks leaopardy even though it's not. The belt was a total score at Goodwill for under 2 dollars! I've had these shoes for probably over 4 years now but Steve Maddens usually hold up well. And last, my necklace that I made the other night. I'm liking the pop of turquoise with this tank and I honestly would have never put this outfit together if it weren't for this challenge, so thank you Kayla!

My hand in my pocket makes my pant look weird....oh well.

Cardigan- Target
Tank- Target
Capris- NY&Co.

And in case you were wondering, today is 50% off day at Goodwill, so if you happen to drive through this small town, you know where you can find the Lettuce Family!  {wink}
