I organized my closet so that all of my remix pieces are right in front of me when I go to pick something out. While doing this I saw all the things that would go great with some of my remix pieces. Only 25 days to go.

Here’s Day 4 & 5…My days really are super-casual.

Top: J Crew Silk Tiered Cami
Jeans: J Crew Ankle Matchstick
Shoes: Steve Madden Trouser

Check me out…getting a little brave and adding an accessory.

J Crew Necklace

I was in my workout clothes for most of the day until I finally showered (I know “ewww” and “TMI”).

Blouse: J Crew Chiffon Cecelia Cami
Jeans: GAP Destructed Boyfriend
Shoes: GAP City Flat

Coming up…A possible family date day/night tomorrow.

Fitness: I’m still doing my best to be BFF’s with Jillian. I did Level 1 on Monday and switched it up to Level 2 on Tuesday. I like that level a lot more so I’m sticking with it for a while. I think Level 1 wasn’t as challenging and those stupid jumping jacks…ugh…hate them. I now have Husband using the DVD too! He realized his workout didn’t include cardio. I had a bad food day Wednesday and last night. I had a Coke…and Chik-Fil-A. I haven’t had a Coke in 3 weeks. It tasted salty. Odd, huh? I’ll be on the scale on Sunday and we’ll see what’s happened after 2 weeks. I am feeling better and I can see a little difference in my belly.

How are you doing?

So here’s Day 2. Very super casual with a tee, jean and barefoot.

Tee: J Crew Imperial Tee
Jeans: GAP Destructed Boyfriend
Belt: Lucky Brand

The I had to run some errands and added the cardi and shoes.

Cardigan: J Crew Factory Primrose Cardigan (Factory cardi is cotton not merino)
Shoes: Steve Madden Trouser

Day 3 – Had an appointment today so I’m dressy casual. (Is that a style of dressing?)

Shirt: J Crew Factory L/S Stretch Perfect Shirt
Jeans: GAP Curvy
(I couldn’t find my Essential Jeans **dirty** so I swapped these in. I’ll keep these in the rotation and leave out the Essential. I just wanted a basic dark jean to wear with heels. This pair isn’t too good for flats like my Essential but they’ll do.)
Heels: Ann Taylor Perfect Pump
Necklace: J Crew

I just wanted to share how great the shirt is with the Gray color of the J Crew Sunnie Pencil Skirt.

Have a great evening!

So I’m going to start with little baby steps for this remix. After posting my 30 items last night I went to bed thinking “I need more shoes!” “I don’t have any dresses.” “I have too many jeans.” But I really thought about all those items and tried to mix in some newer items I have that I’ve either not worn or rarely worn.

So here’s my first outfit. Very simple and basic.

Tee: J Crew Drapey Bateau Tee
Jeans: J Crew Ankle Toothpick
Boots: Steve Madden Inragee (similar here – Intyce)

I like the sequin detail on the shoulders. As you can see from my picks I am a fan of Olive Green.

To be honest I was in my fabulous, comfy Wicked Good slippers most of the day until The Boy called saying he missed the bus. Then I put on my boots. But I work from home so no one saw me.

I have to show you what it’s like getting my family together for a group photo. Right when the picture is taken someone else wants to join or we see someone else to join in. So basically, they are all outtakes. These are from a family wedding this past weekend.

Whoops…looking at different cameras.

Wait! The bride wants in.

CRAZY PEOPLE! All family.
What I’m wearing…
J Crew Frances Cami
J Crew Constellation Cardigan
J Crew Marvelle Mini (LOVE THIS SKIRT! I didn’t notice but under the taffeta is a layer of tulle and then a silk lining. When I sat down the taffeta came up but then the tulle layer showed.)
Merona Tights
Christian Louboutin Wallis Mary Janes
My Dancing Shoes were the Toe-Tapping Flats (Anthropologie).
Have a great evening!

hello

I’m participating in Kendi Everyday’s 30 for 30 Remix. Below are my 30 items.

All shirts are J Crew.

All cardigans are J Crew.
I start tomorrow. 
Also, I worked out Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. I danced the night away on Saturday at a family wedding and that certainly counted as a workout. I’ll start back up tomorrow and try to go at least Monday thru Friday. I know Jillian says to do 20 minutes everyday but this past Wednesday I was really sore and “Mother Nature” came for a visit too so I was not feeling well. But I picked it back up first thing Thursday morning. I’m doing Level 1 and will continue with that this week. Next week I hope to move to Level 2. I haven’t weighed myself but I will tomorrow. I have been eating better – better food, smaller portions, more fruit and nuts for snacks, very little sugar and white flour products and no cokes. That was hard this week because I was craving chocolate covered pretzels. It’s usually what I want during that time along with a cold Coke.

I’ll be posting my outfits daily and hope I can stick with this. This remix also includes no shopping for 30 days so I’ve really got to stay busy. I will only limit my shopping to Christmas presents and Husband’s birthday presents. Nothing for me.

Have a great evening.
