I know the last two posts have been centered around Thanksgiving and that's because it's pretty awesome! Think about what other holiday allows you to eat a lot, have two paid vacation days, and is followed by the best sales of the year. Seriously guys, Thanksgiving has it all - family, love, appreciation, food, and bargain shopping!!! I don't know if Kendi knew what she was doing by starting the 30 for 30 in November, but I definitely feel like I'm missing out on some Black Friday deals. Black Friday isn't Black Friday with no shopping. I love the satisfaction of getting something I love for a "steal" price!
For example, I saw this AWESOME Christmas sweater in Anthro, and the only reason I didn't get it was because the store was closing when I saw it. It's killing me...well, not KILLING ME, but it is making me envious of other people who are shopping. How am I supposed to not shop with all these sales? I'm a bargain shopper, I don't pay more than $50 for ANYTHING, and I get things that were originally priced in the hundreds....
I'm rambling, but I'm also writing this to say don't judge me or hate me if I slip up and buy something because I love it, and I know I can only get it for a great price today. I'm not saying it's definite, but I am saying it's possible...
I won't judge, promise. I will say though that you are rocking this challenge with the items you have. This outfit is so cool and you look absolutely gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI like this look, it's very preppy with a twist just because the skirts is so bright. I really like that mustard yellow skirt...hmmmm...on the search for wishlist!! :)
ReplyDeletei'm amazed at how different all of your 30 for 30 looks are--i practically can't tell that you're working with a limited wardrobe.
ReplyDeleteand i love the colors and textures here--lovely!
Your hair looks lovely! Did you do a two strand twist? If so, how long did it take you? (They look so tiny!)
ReplyDelete@ Anon - Thank you!!! These are actually mini-braids, and they took me 10-12 hours. I did them over a 2-day period, working well into the night and finished them the following morning. I plan to keep them for a month! I hope to get around to posting a video about them soon...
