June 30×30, Days 1-4

And we’re off and running with this 30 day style challenge! So far it doesn’t really feel a whole lot different from normal. I don’t really feel constrained yet when getting dressed. In fact, I have noticed the pared down closet makes me quicker at getting dressed, which has been really awesome. I tend to overthink things, and if I have anything significant going on a particular day, I hem and haw over whether my choice will be ‘right’ or not. With a shortened roster of players to pull from, my overthinking has been reduced. Yay!

Day One:

I really like this top. I’ve kept v-necks from my closet for far too long, and I forgot how a low v-neck goes a long way on a small-busted girl like me. I got 99 problems and cleavage ain’t one of them! Initially I thought I’d style this tank tucked in to show off my favorite jeans, but I was feeling sort of lazy and, it turns out, I really like it un-tucked. It’s a good reminder that just because you think you ‘should’ do something (like tuck a shirt), it isn’t necessarily always the only way to pull together a look.

DAY TWO:

This dress is a summer time favorite of mine! I wish I could find a similar to link for you guys, but I can’t. Everlane sold this a few springs ago, and it’s a really lightweight chambray fabric, perfect for hot days. I added Cons and a backpack to the dress to give it a playful vibe, and I love the result. Perfect for a chill Friday, and an evening event at my daughter’s school.

DAY THREE:

Here they are, in all their glory! My KAMM pants. They are pretty amazing. I kind of feel like a hipster in them, and I’m not sure how I feel about that. They look modest in photographs, but they feel so BOLD in real life. I love them because they are so sturdy and that means I can wear the dickens out of them while I play with my kids. Also, this color is perfect for me because it is dark enough to hide dirt/dirty spots, but still overall a light color. I initially wanted the Tobacco color but, in the end, I decided a lighter shade was more what I was looking for.

The rise is so high! Higher than any other pant I own. But that’s what makes them look so good. I sized up and got an 8. I am not really sure if you could call it sizing up though because the 6 was pretty darn small on me (as in, hard to button!). These are quite comfortable, so I am glad I stuck with the bigger size.

I love this outfit 100%. The shoes, the shirt, the pants, I feel so me. It was an outfit that greatly reminded me how much I dress for myself, and not other people. Can’t wait to repeat this one!

DAY FOUR:

Gotta wear these pants while the weather is still cool! On some level they remind me of all the Gap khakis I wore in high school, and I kind of love that. However, this outfit in its entirety did not go down how I envisioned. The poplin fabric on this top is a little too stiff for a front tuck and the outfit definitely felt fussy. It would have worked much better with a more drapey fabric.

Let’s talk about the shoes! My friends at Nisolo were kind enough to send these to me, and I’m excited to share them with you. Initially I was a little nervous because platforms feel sky high after wearing flats 24/7. But these are actually really comfortable! I was debating getting another pair of clogs before I got these, and I think on a hot day these will be a lot cooler because of the minimal straps. I’ve never had a shoe this ‘nude’ before and I quite like seeing my feet. Overall these felt great to stand on, and they are super easy to walk in too. However, they do not work for chasing a toddler (learned that one the hard way). I’ll probably reserve them mostly for the times when I want to dress up a little – if we’re heading out to dinner, or on a date, or to an event – which is great because I often struggle with what to wear in those situations. I’m looking forward to pairing these with a dress to see how they shine.

I’ll be back on Friday sharing my next set of looks. The weather is supposed to drop into the 50’s, so things should get interesting – yikes! Be sure to stop by tomorrow – I’ll be debuting a fun new design collaboration with my friend Haley of Only Child!
