24 like agent jack bauer. but not really.

I won't pretend this was a conscious choice, but my outfit did happen to be in my 30 for 30 today, so I guess this is number 24. But lets be honest, its not really, now is it?

I got highlights in my hair yesterday, and I like them a lot, except for the fact that I don't like the look of brand new highlights. I love them, when they grow out juuuust a little. But that's ok.

I also got my brows done and they are still are irritated. Booo hiss. Also, maybe a little crooked. Not sure.

Don't you hate in when you drop a boatload of cash on self-beautifying and the results are kind of, yeah, that's pretty good.

Although..I also got the hair professionally blow dried and that pretty much makes up for anything else. I really need to hire someone to do that for me twice a week. I'll pay decently. Who's up for it?

So yep, this is what I'm wearing today:



We'll call this 24. This is 10+15+20, if you were curious.

Shoes: Nine West
Necklace: Eastern Market
Bracelet/Rings: Tiffany
Hair: Fabulous.

nobody likes you when you're 23

This outfit isn't my favorite. But, they can't all be. In other news,
all other news..its really hot. as in over 100 everyday. and humid. i don't think we should subjected to dressing for work in this weather.

ok, here we go!



This outfit is 1+14+23. Okay, I almost mentioned it yesterday, but this is getting weird. On day 21, I wore item 21. Same on day 22. Same on day 23. This has not been on purpose.

Belt: Tabolts
Shoes: Nine West
Necklace/Bracelet/Rings: Tiffany

I'm going to have my first acupuncture session in about 3 hours =) I'll try to get some pics of my lookin like pinhead.

deuce deuce

Morning! I just thought it was Tuesday for a minute. It is Wednesday, right? Yes, Wednesday. Hate when that happens. Although better than thinking its Wednesday to find out its Tuesday.

Here's today's outfit - #22!



This is 3+11+22.

Necklace: Random vendor at Eastern Market (the best kind)
Bracelet/Rings: Tiffany
Shoes: Nine West

blackjack!

After my not so brief hiatus from 30 for 30, I am, as they say, re-committed to the cause. Its a little difficult to jump back in, but I like to finish what I start, dang it.

That said, here is outfit number 21!



Oh right, I need to figure out which numbers these items are...i'm out of practice..

This is 7+15+21!

Shoes: Nine West
Necklace/Bracelet/Rings: Tiffany.

still not quite 30 for 30...

Good morning! So, oops, I did it again. I wore 30 for 30 items except for the shirt. Apparently I should have added more shirts into the mix! I am still a dirty cheater. I assume you still care deeply about what I have on, so..



Today is 16+29+ a t-shirt from Target that is quite a pretty color

Shoes: Nine West
Belt: Talbots
Necklace: j.crew
Bracelet/Rings: Tiffany

it's almost 30 for 30....

Well, friends, I didn't quite get all the way on the 30 for 30 train this morning. My shirt, alas, is not in my 30 items. But I quite like it.

Sometimes, my desire to wear a certain item of clothing overcomes my desire to stay on this 30 for 30 path. I think that's okay. This challenge has actually made me look at everything I own differently, and I think that is the point. Or, I could be missing the point and could just be a dirty cheater. Either one.

Here is today's outfit...



Today's outfit is 14+20+ this awesome shirt from J Crew

Shoes: Nine West
Belt: Talbots
Necklace/Bracelet/Rings: Tiffanys

I just noticed that this shirt comes in a different color that is also on sale. Hmmm. I think mayhaps it is too distinctive a pattern to own two. Yep. No mas shirts today.

i was 19, call me

Monday morning again! The weekends just fly, don't they?

Its starting to become a little hard to not repeat outfits, but I'm doing my best. Here's today's outfit:



19 is 10+16+24

Belt: Talbots
Shoes: Nine West
Necklace: J Crew
Bracelet/Rings: Tiffanys

I feel a little off today, kinda sad. Fred thinks its cause I watch too much Gray's Anatomy. He could be right. You see, I've never watched that show before. And then about 2 weeks ago, I got the whole series on my Netflix. And now I am INTO IT. I'm on season 3. But it is a bit much to take more than a couple of episodes at a time. I missed the whole Friday Night Lights train, too, maybe I'll give that a whirl. Apparently I like my wildly popular TV shows to be over before I'll watch them. Hmm.

18 and Life..30 for 30

Happy Friday! Its been a tough week here in Sara land. Time for weekend goodness. Here is outfit 18!



18 is 7+20+27. isnt' that neat.

Shoes: Steve Madden
Necklace: J Crew
Ring: Ann Taylor Loft
Bracelet/Rings: Tiffany

Still got the blurry photo thing going on - time to give the iphone a bath.

its not a 30 for 30...but i like it

I struggled this morning. Struggled with really thinking this outfit would work, and really wanting to wear it, and wanting to stay true to the challenge, but really liking this outfit.

I also struggled with posting it, or just not posting an outfit today and letting you assume i went naked.

but I like it.

So here it is!



Cardigan: Target
Shirt: J Crew
Pants: Victorias Secret - and they are 30 for 30 - #16!
Shoes: Talbots
Belt: Talbots
Necklace: J Crew
Bracelet/Rings: Tiffany

I'll be back on the 30 for 30 train tomorrow.

Also - love this picture of me, not ashamed to say it. Not sure whats going on with the glazed lens look/ Elizabeth Taylor's White Diamonds ad thing going on here, but I'm not mad at it. Probably some kind dirt on my phone's lens.

I learned the truth at 17..30 for 30

dear blogger, sometimes I hate you. You ate my post. I'm going to have to start writing them in Word now, aren't I?

Anyway..what was I saying?

Right! Outfit 17. I really like this one. So far, this challenge has had two great effects on me.

1) I am appreciating more the other items in my closet, at the same time that I am having fun making 30 outfits from these 30. I can't wait to wear the other stuff! Its like shopping in my own closet. So fun.

2) I haven't been buying as much, because I can't wear it immediately. I'm an instant gratification kind of person. This prevents that. Seems to work. Cool!

Here it is!



17 is 14+29+30
Shoes: Nine West
Bracelet/Rings/Necklace: Tiffany

The half-way mark - Outfit 15!

Good Monday morning all! Hard to believe it is Monday yet again - and June 20th, for goodness sakes!

Today's outfit may marks the first you've seen of these J Crew slacks..and probably the last until I get them altered. They are too big - darn! Hehe. They are part of my "good" suit, so I need to hold on to them..thankfully I have an excellent tailor.



Outfit #15 is 6+11+25
Shoes: Nine West
Necklace: Forever21
Bracelet and Rings: Tiffanys

I was at my parent's house yesterday for Father's Day brunch. It rocked, as usual. My parents moved in to a new house in January, and therefore there are lots of things unpacked and organized and brought to light that may have not been seen since 1999 or so. My mom had a picture of me accepting my high school diploma. I'm barely 17. WOW do I look different!

You don't so much think you look different in the mirror, right? Its gradual change. I'm pretty sure (okay, very sure) that I don't look almost twice as old as I was in that picture, but you know, I am.

What truly amazes me, though, is that I graduated high school 16 years ago, I have lived SO MUCH LIFE since then, and I'm STILL only 33. When you are 16, 17, you can't imagine what that feels like. How young 33 still feels. Its pretty cool.

number 14!

Happy Friday!

Here is outfit #14 - basic black and jeans, can't really err too much on this one. I don't have much to say about it. It'll do.




14 is 3+19+27
Shoes: Nine West
Necklace/Bracelet/Rings: Tiffany

Have a wonderful day!

Monday, very Monday

Good morning all!

I don't have a 30 for 30 post today, as I was running late for work and did not take a picture. Also, I am wearing a t-shirt that is not part of the 30 items. Le gasp. The rest of my outfit is though.

This is due to several factors, including: wow I feel like crap (see post from over the weekend for details) and I should probably stay home but I have a report due in this morning so I need to go take care of that so lemme get dressed real quick and oh, this matches and is clean.

Also, I screwed up at work already this morning. Which wouldn't have been so bad had I checked my email this weekend, which I didn't. See: feeling like crap.

Yes, it is Monday. I hope yours is going better than mine so far!

Happy Friday! And outfit #12

Good morning all and Happy Friday to you! I'm not sure I've ever needed a weekend more!

Here is today's outfit, #12 I beleive.

Outfit 9, 30 for 30

Good morning!
Today's outfit is number 9. Numero nueve. This morning was one of those mornings, not bad, per se..but I put on a whole entirely different outfit, put on the accessories, almost out the door..and then something inside said meh, no. So I changed. Outfit #9 is therefore Outfit #2 of the day. Here it is!



Outfit #9 is 3+14+20.

Belt and Shoes: Talbots (yes, I know I wear these shoes damn near everyday, I'm looking for a pair to supplement)
Rings/Bracelet/Necklace: Tiffany

Look at me with my hair down! Working on those Week 6 goals! Also, trying to enjoy one last reasonably tempered (temperatured?) day before we go all 100+ and insane humidity, and my hair will curl no matter what medieval implements I employ to tame it straight. Yay summer!

Outfit #8 30 for 30

Well here it is, Monday morning again! Today is the 8th day of the 30 for 30 challenge.

Today, I've added another piece into the mix. This is it though! No more additions. Drumroll please, item #30 is..this little floral top from Boden. It's one of those things in my closet that makes me go, hmmm, that's nice, I should wear that more often..but then I don't. Who knows why. I added it in to the mix to provide some motivation for me to figure out what to wear it with..or not, and be able to let go with peace.

Without furthur ado, outfit #8!




Outfit 8 is 30+12+25

Shoes: Michael Kors via DSW
Belt: Target
Necklace, Bracelet, Rings: Tiffany

Friday's Outfit 30 for 30 Day 7

Here is outfit number...7? Sure! Sounds good. It's Friday and I am very happy about that. Also, the uber-hot weather broke and its goooorgeous outside. I really shouldn't be inside. Bummer how work is inside.



Today is - I'm really dressed down, but I put on a nice sweater and jewelry so you can pretend I'm not. It is casusal Friday, after all. Also - shirt not particularly flattering (note to self). But very comfortable.

Outfit #7 is 7+20+26
Shoes: Steven Madden
Necklace, Rings, Bracelet: Tiffany
Ring: Ann Taylor Loft

30 for 30 Day 6

ok, now I'm sleepy and mad. I just wrote a post, hit publish, and...gone.

But what I said was - I'm really really sleepy this morning, for no apparent reason (slept just fine). And I don't have much to say. So here is outfit #6!



#6 is 9+15+29

Necklace: Forever21
