That's right!
Jasmine and I managed to sneak another
Dynamic Duo into both of our challenges using the same sailor top that I can't get enough of. I love that we both paired the top with a dark skirt but in different ways. This is Jasmine's 14th look (she's doing the 21 for 21 challenge) and this is my 9th look (I'm doing the 15 for 15 challenge). I'm almost 2/3 of the way there! I have to say I'm definitely learning the value of my clothes and the benefits of remixing.
I remember my high school days where each item of clothing would have an assigned outfit. Every time I wore a specific top, it would be in the same exact way I always wore it. Thinking back on those days I'm surprised I didn't get bored of the same looks repeated every two weeks! Don't get me wrong, I still have those guilty days where I repeat an outfit (you guys just don't see it posted!) but now I use one item to create various looks. You get so much more out of your clothes and the need to buy more and more vanishes - although, I have to admit, the
want never completely disappears.
Guess where I took these pictures? At my middle school - again. This time the track wasn't occupied by random citizens doing push-ups or taking an afternoon stroll so I decided to occupy it with a little asian girl and her tripod. There was an abandoned desk nearby (and a chewed up pencil I probably shouldn't have picked up) so I decided to take some shots there since my suspenders gave my look a little bit of a school-girl feel. :)
I just wanted to point out how much I love Jasmine's white oxfords from Aldo. I still have yet to find that perfect, affordable pair of oxfords for the fall! I've been craving a pair for about half a year now and I was hoping my craving would eventually disappear. Unfortunately, it hasn't.
The fedora I'm holding in my pictures is from a giveaway Lora hosted on her blog:
In Bug's Drawers. I love it to death but there's just one problem...my head is too big. :( Don't laugh, it's seriously a problem! It wouldn't be so bad if my head was so big because of all the knowledge inside of it. I'm pretty sure it's just full of absolute nonsense though.

Oh, and I would just like to point out how ridiculously sexy my white mini-van is looking in my photos.
