2 of 30: we get on



For some reason, this first outfit was a little daunting, since it feels like I have a lot of freedom and choice. I also didn't want to wear something super awesome, since I did my own pictures today. Hehe. Do you guys ever do things like that? Save super great outfits for when someone specific does your pictures?

Kept it simple today. Clothing-wise and with accessories. Just wore Robert's class ring, which he gave me a bit over two years ago. I used to wear it every day, but sort of stopped. He bought me the chain to wear it on for our first Christmas together. I've started wearing it again for old times sake, just since the long distance is almost over :)





I actually put this outfit together because of these sneakers--which I included in my 30 because I like them, but never wear them. I'm not really much of a sneakers type of girl. I hate it when my feet feel bulky or clunky, which is why I love flats to death. I thought this outfit was interesting, since I usually style this pretty dress in a really soft, girly way.






Also, don't know if anyone caught this, but this is 2/30. Why? Because number one is actually an outfit that I'm saving for a guest post, which will happen later this month :)

    To cute, the class ring story is just adorable. I'm not a fan of clunky shoes either, I just can't get into the 'wedge' trend. But these sneakers are cute. I also really love your polka dot dress!

    Yes! Great start. Leggings under a dress is the best option when you want to look cute but not overly fancy. Epic kung-fu (i think?) pose.

    Haha, I definitely plan my outfits for occasions or locations but haven't yet for a specific photographer (as I take most of my outfit pics myself). I think you did a great job with the outfit as well as with the pictures.

    This dress is super cute, I love how you styled it an I'm happy to see I'm not the only one who included sneakers in the remix. Yeah for being girly and comfy!


    I'm really happy to have discovered your blog and will gladly be your newest reader :)

    See you soon,

    Virginie

    Lea, you're sooo adorable! You make shooting photos on your own look fun :) loving that pose with the hanger, haha! Also, those are really unique sneakers. I like how there are leather patches on them, way to spiffy up an otherwise ordinary pair of sneakers.

    I'm excited to see the rest of your 30 for 30 outfits! :)

    I kind of want to try this 30 day thing because I'm always poor and shopping too much. And if I have to wear the same things for a month, maybe I won't buy anything? Nah, I probably would find things to buy anyway =/ But it still sounds super fun. I love that dress so much and the sneakers are really cute. That picture with you and the hanger is the greatest thing on earth hahaha.

    Those sneakers are so cool! They're very cute with the dress. I also love your photos today...I should be more experimental with posing, but oh man, whenever I try to change things up, I just end up looking seriously crazy.

    I actually thought I missed the first outfit, but now I understand. :)
    I love wearing sneakers with leggings and dresses, so comfortable and fun!
    Hehe, that's a great photo where you're using the hanger as a weapon. It should be in Charlie's Angels or something similar. :D

    What a pretty top! The shoes actually look great with this look! (I'm like you - I typically style pretty with pretty and probably would've never tried sneakers!) And the class ring as a necklace is such a sweet idea :)
