I notice that a lot of the blogs I read are using Bloglovin' so I thought I'd check it out. It's cool so far! Check it out!

I had meant to buy myself a new pair of Jeffrey Campbell shoes that I'd had my eye on, but silly me I tried to not shop during my 30 for 30 challenge as part of the rules and by the time I'd finished it, the shoes that I wanted were sold out in my size. Bollocks! So rewarded myself with these babies:
Tunic: Violet et Claire
Pants: Old Navy
Watch: Etsy
Boots: Aldo McDade on major sale right now!
Ignore those incredibly embarrassing books behind me. *ahem* Someone please remind me to hide those in my bedroom. I don't want you all to think that I have a crush on Justin Bieber and that I have Robert Pattinson's eyes tattooed on my back so he can watch me all the time instead of just while I sleep. (Creepy! Creepy stalker vampire boyfriend!) Do the Hunger Games and Girl With the Dragon Tattoo trilogies redeem me? Please say yes.

p.s. I have no idea what I was thinking when I was making these crazy faces!
*squeeeeeeeeee*
This is my first outfit post since finishing my 30 for 30. I wore this to go out for lunch and to do some shopping with my cousin. I wanted flat boots because she's 8 months pregnant and I thought I'd be helpful if I chased her toddler around for her. Great fun for me, rest for her. My first inclination was to belt it, but I was going out to lunch, y'all. I was going to eat.

My cousin was perplexed when I was shopping for some bling. I live a relatively bling-free existence which really must change! She asked me why I needed to buy stuff that was more "flashy" so I said, "Because I take pictures of myself wearing clothes and post them on the internet."
*crickets chirping*
She looked at me as if I had just told her that I'd started producing live webcam shows of a dubious nature! I explained that no, there is no nudity involved and I really don't think she believes me. I'm pretty sure I'm the family porn star now in the gossip grapevine.

Because, why not? Shoes are girls' best friends, not diamonds. I've seen other bloggers do a Shoe of the Week feature, but we all know that I'm not reliable like that. So for March I thought I'd start with something simple.
I had been looking for a grey suede slouch boot which was flat but with buckles, for a long time. The only perfects ones I'd found were from Fiorentini + Baker, and let's face it I don't have a blessed job, much less the bank to fund such an extravagance. I searched in vain for months, and it was making me crazy. When I have my mind set on something I can become... slightly obsessed.
One day the perfect flat grey slouch boots with buckles showed up on my doorstep: on my cousin's feet! She told me she bought them at Walmart, and for less then thirty dollars! They're made of fake suede, but that's better for me because it's far easier to take care of than real suede and it's also vegan friendly which is cool seeing as how two of my friends started their own vegan cult and have recruited young children to their cause. (I'm kidding! For reals!) For that price, I can wear them around in wet or mucky weather, I can abuse them, I can neglect them and it's all good.
Another thing which I realise is actually quite ridiculous, however: I fit into the 8.5 and didn't have to go for 9. Vanity: Score! Do all tall people with giant feet have the same problem as me? Discuss below. They're a little too wide in the calf (to accommodate the calf-size of a Wal-mart shopper? I am sooooo pretentious!) but they don't fall down like some of my other boots do and it's easier to fit the skinny jeans inside without having to jam them in while cursing.
Boot: Walmart!
Normally I'm stuck-up and won't buy anything if someone I know has the same thing, but that's just nonsense! When the boots you've been looking for are staring you right in the face, you'd be a fool not to grab them while you can. Shoe shopping applies to life.

I can't believe I actually finished something. I never finish anything! It's my most tragic flaw. Yes, it took me forever, was a pain in the ass and I missed my other clothes, but I persevered for once and I feel good about that.
Strangely enough, I felt like I could keep going. I wore many more outfits from these items than what I've actually photographed, just that some days I didn't get around to taking pictures of myself. This one I thought was boring but I was going to church and this is the only skirt I have that doesn't make me feel like I might accidentally flash the choir. Jesus would approve.
Jacket: Smart Set
Tank: Calvin Klein
Leggings, skirt: Old Navy
Boots: Aldo
I nearly forgot! I was wearing the thin, white cable-knit sweater under this jacket when I went to church, but I didn't have time beforehand to take pictures. Then when I got home I spilled and stained my sweater so badly with salsa that I probably will have to get rid of it now, so I had to change shirts and I figured that the white tank would suffice. Such is my life. White is not white for long around me or the spawn.

Oh my gosh. One more after this! One more until I can put away the portable closet-rack thingy with all of the 30 for 30 items on it and have that spot on my floor all to myself again! Also, shopping! Getting to wear other stuff again, and maybe even taking pictures of that stuff too will be wonderful as well. Mama has her eye on a new pair of Jeffrey Campbells, and she promised herself that she'd wait until after the challenge was over to spring for them. She also talks about herself in the third person.
I have no idea what is up with this face, but at least it's honest?
Almost a smile.

I always feel more like myself in platforms, structured jackets, and some flares. I wanted a trench coat and a beret though, because I felt like I should have looked more French. Plus tard, peut-être, non?
That's all/C'est tout,

Oh. My. Gosh. How long has this taken me? This was supposed to be a Fall 30 for 30, and I've stretched it out all through the winter and in some places, people are beginning spring. Not me though. Nope. It's been snowing for approximately 678 days, give or take a few (hundred).
I'm almost done! I can see the light at the end of the tunnel! Granted, I haven't really been dressing much lately... I seem to have a fierce aversion to clothes of any kind quite recently, save for perhaps camis, frilly knickers and yoga gear, but there is no way that I'm ever going to be showing pictures of that.
This is the infamous blogger's "I have to pee!" pose:
Shirt: Old Navy
Skinnies: Guess
Shoes: Jeffrey Campbell Lita
Belt: Le Chateau
Bracelets: Oh, pretty much everywhere.
I felt huge in this outfit, so I'm pretty sure it will never be worn again. I'm so ready to scrap my skinny jeans, especially since I've gained hella winter weight this year and spring does not seem very forthcoming! I want skirts with bare legs. And sandals! Ooh, sandals how I've missed you!
That's all,
