Switchzies {19 of 30}

necklace - Kellie Creates (buy)
bracelet - World Market
tank top - Wolfgang (buy similar)
Mossimo pants - Target (buy)
Mossimo sandals - Target

Only a few days into my remix I realized that this shrug didn't go with any of the other items that I chose. So I made an executive decision and traded it out for for this button-down tank top. Learn from my mistakes, friends.

In other news, I thought I'd share a photo from the night I wore this outfit. You know, to prove that I actually wear this stuff in real life:


Added bonus: I also just proved that I have friends in real life. I know you're all relieved.

Parents Meeting Parents {18 of 30}

BCBGeneration necklace - TJ Maxx (buy)
watch - Fossil (buy similar)
bracelet - JC Penney (buy similar)
Xhilaration top - Target (buy)
Saltworks Denim jeans - TJ Maxx (buy similar)
Mossimo flats - Target (buy)

Through pure coincidence, Matt's parents arrived in town to visit him before deployment shortly before my parents passed through town on their way home from a softball tournament. Not long after our families met, two of Matt's shipmates showed up. Needless to say, we had a full house for a minute.

I wasn't wearing this outfit when all of these things were happening, that happened later in the evening for dinner at one of our favorite local spots.

Almost Didn't Make It {17 of 30}

owl locket necklace - Etsy (buy similar)
Tarina Tarantino necklace - It's Eclectic (buy similar)
shirt - Gap (buy)
BDG shorts - Urban Outfitters (buy similar)
Mossimo sandals - Target

I almost didn't photograph my outfit yesterday even though I was wearing remix items. But after shooting a couple of future outfits (yes, I often take my outfit photos ahead of time -- but they don't get posted until they're actually worn!), I figured "eh, I'm wearing the items. I don't have to post them if the pictures don't look so good."

As you can see, I figured the outfit was worth posting. It's a remix, everything goes. Right?

A Mary Janes Challenge

Jou Jou boyfriend blazer - Tilly's (buy)
Mary Janes - Discount Women's Dress Shoes (buy)
bubble necklace - BubbleJewellry on Etsy (buy)
Merona skirt - Target (buy)
Mossimo shirt - Target (buy)
Big Star Dylan boyfriend jean - Buckle (buy)

My fellow clothing addict Jessica asked me to help her come up with a teaching outfit to go with her black Mary Jane heels. I love Mary Janes, they are a timeless shoe and the perfect blend of classic style and modern femininity. I decided to stick with classic pieces for her teaching outfit by pairing a knife-pleated skirt and fitted boyfriend blazer with the shoes, and gave it a youthful twist by choosing a shirt in a contrasting shade of pink. Bubble necklaces are the ultimate on-trend accessory right now, and a pair of cuffed jeans can be traded with the skirt for an after-school drink or date night!

Mossimo sandals - Target

The final day of vacation called for another comfortable-yet-cute outfit since we had to head back to Jacksonville. Matt and I took the scenic route and drove A1A home. If you're ever on the east cost of Florida, I highly recommend a trip along the coast, no matter which part of the state you're visiting!

Oh, and my "vacation" isn't technically over for a week and a half, and I've got some ideas for new blog content. See ya tomorrow!

Wine Walk {15 of 30}

necklace - Kellie Creates (buy)
dress - local surf shop
Mossimo sandals - Target


Our second night in New Smyrna Matt and I went on an art walk that was also a wine walk. A few hours of walking from bar to bar and checking out local artists on the way was followed by a trip to a fish camp on the edge of town where Matt managed to consume a very large platter of seafood. We made some new friends, had some good wine, and filled up on yummy food.

A Bright Start {14 of 30}

necklace - Kellie Creates (buy)
bracelet - JC Penney (buy similar)
shirt - Forever 21 (buy)
shorts - Maurices (buy similar)

I started my vacation with the brightest, most summer-ready outfit I could muster: A neon top and a seashell necklace. It's (really) hot here in Florida and I had a two-and-a-half hour ride ahead of me, so cool comfort was top priority!

Natural {6 of 30}

During the more humid months I can't get away with not washing my hair every day. Since I'm already stressing my hair by washing it more frequently, I try not to flat iron it every day. I know it's silly, but on the mornings that I wake up with natural waves in my hair I get kind of excited. Not straightening my hair frees up almost a half hour of my morning, and it's nice to get a little bit of variety in my life. Add carefree waves to a fun animal print and bright jeans and I've got myself a youthful, happy outfit for summer!

Ahead of the Curve {5 of 30}

necklace - Kellie Creates (buy)
bracelets - Target (buy similar)
Merona belt - Target
top - Loft
Silver Jeans shorts - Maurices (buy similar)
Mossimo sandals - Target

I had no intention of taking outfit photos yesterday. I was a day ahead on posting and needed to get a custom order done, but I miraculously got the necklace done with enough time to spare to get dressed and take photos (both of my outfit and of the necklace) before having to run to the Navy base to bring my sailor some things he'd left at home. I even got the photos edited before I had to leave!

If only every day off could be so productive!

Weekender {4 of 30}

necklace - Target (buy similar)
bracelet - World Market
sunglasses - Fossil (buy similar)
Green Envelope top - Marshalls (buy)
Silver Jeans shorts - Maurices (buy similar)
Mossimo sandals - Target

A quick stop in to work and a few errands calls for something mostly comfy with a little bit of cute. Matt and I don't have a washer and dryer at the new place, yet, and our lease on the old apartment doesn't end until next week, so a laundry trip to our old digs was in order to make sure all of my remix items were clean. I never thought I would look forward to acquiring appliances, but man am I excited about getting our very own washer and dryer!

From Work to Play {2 of 30}



BCBGeneration necklace - TJ Maxx (buy)
bracelet - JC Penney (buy similar)
Kathy Van Zeeland purse - Burlington Coat Factory (buy similar)
ikat tunic - rescued from a roommate (buy similar)
BDG shorts - Urban Outfitters (buy similar)

I had forgotten how easy getting dressed becomes while doing a remix! I got home from work on Wednesday (in the outfit I posted yesterday) and needed to get dressed to go to a Navy-related meeting with Matt, so I just switched the skirt with a pair of shorts, changed my accessories and put my hair in a side braid. Good to go!

Style Blocked

bracelets - Delia's, Express, Forever 21, JC Penny
belt - Delia's / Calvin Klein button-down - Marshalls / Bullhead shorts - PacSun
O'Neil flip flops - Aqua East

I know things have been a bit quiet around my corner of the internet. At the risk of this becoming a "pity me, my life is so hard" post, I will give you a brief list of what's been going on:

1. I got an order for 48 necklaces to be completed before a hatching festival in August.
2. Matt got back from three weeks of being underway.*
3. Matt was underway for three weeks.*
4. As soon as Matt got back we moved, unpacked our new place, and had a 4th of July party.

*Numbers two and three are both very different, I assure you.

On top of all of the craziness, my drive to blog and my inspiration to put together an outfit that (in my opinion) is worth photographing has sort of gone out the window. I need to do something to reset my brain, and shopping isn't much of an option at the moment. (Is it just me, or is moving freaking expensive?!)

With all that being said, I plan to head home today to my new (tiny!) closet, pull out some items, and do an old-fashioned 30 for 30 remix. I've been waiting for another one to be announced, but I realize that Miss Kendi has her plate pretty full these days.

Thanks for sticking around.
