YOU GUYS
30X30 IS BACK!
Dani, Sarah and I got bit by the bug again, so we're doing it. It's my fourth 30x30 and I'm going to be trying to finish before the holidays, so expect some days with two posts. Also, since it's my fourth, I might be shaking things up a bit...
curiosu to join, but wondering what 30x30 is? The plan is to take 30 items in your closet, and wear only those items for 30 outfits. Not all at once, mind you. (Though that would be very warm.) Kendi's original 30x30 involved shoes as part of the picks, but Dani, Sarah and I prefer to consider shoes as accessories, which don't count toward the final total. Coats, necklaces, scarves, mittens, tights, camisoles...none of this stuff counts toward the 30 items you wear. Skirts, cardigans, pants, sweaters? Part of the 30. Got it? Good.
I also want to stress that you can take your time. I'm rushing through this 30 because I'll be living out of a suitcase for half of January (more on that later!), and I don't want to not get done until February. But really? There's actually nothing wrong with that. It's the holidays, we're all crazy busy, and btw did you guys know it's also finals time? Oy, why are we doing this again right now?
Because we got bit by the bug. That's why.
So tomorrow, keep an eye out for my picks, as well as those of Dani and Sarah, and then we'll have liftoff!

By far the best thing about a turtleneck is when you first put it on. You pull it over your head, and it basically cocoons you. Your face, your hair, your neck. It's like a burrito for your upper body. You're cozy, soft, warm, safe. You feel the heat radiating off your face and onto your sweater and back, and it feels like bliss.
And then you have to pull your hair out and peel the neck off your face so you can breathe for crying out loud it is so humid in here, and just like that, the magic is gone.
Until next time, turtleneck. Until next time.

Here is this week's inspiration for Style Imitating Art! This is a good one. Salazar is hosting this week, so please send her your photos and post links by the evening of December 3rd. Go forth and dress yourselves!
This guy locked himself in the dog crate. Happy Thanksgiving indeed.
It's Style Imitating Art time! Yessss. This week's inspiration was The Great War by René Magritte. Awesome stuff. Let's see the submissions!
First is Dawn of Suitcase Vignettes. She told me to pick between the two photos but I liked them both, so here they are!
Next is Jen of Librarian for Life Style, who said her outfit could compare to Son of Man as well. I AGREE!
Rebekah of From the Mixed-Up Files... has an awesome purple/white/purple combo going. Perfect fall outfit.
Next is Stephanie, who's new to SIA! And she looks great--I adore the scarf.
Here is Noelle of Tilly's Notions' interpretation. The lace! I have no lace in my wardrobe so I'm really glad someone else did!
Next is Kezzie of KezzieAG, who has such a lovely, flowy dress. So pretty.
As always, Pao of Project Minima looks almost exactly like the painting! Epic.
Lastly, my cohost and cocreator, Salazar of 14 Shades of Grey, who always kills it. Doesn't she look lovely?
And me! My full outfit post will be up later tonight.
EDIT: Teddi sent in a late submission! She thinks she looks like a taxi driver, but I think she looks awesome!
Thank you to everyone who submitted outfits this week! You all did a great job with the inspiration!
