I’ve wanted to participate in a 30-for-30 challenge for many months now; It’s a rather daunting challenge to take on, to say the least. I finally made up my mind to participate after some friends also decided to partake.
I swapped out a few items on 6/28 because it’s hard going without cardigans and a blazer.
Here’s are my best friends for the next four weeks:
1. Bird by Juicy Couture Cobblestone Peplum Blouse with Ties (buy on Net-A-Porter),
2. Charlotte Russe Rosette Romance Corset (somewhat similar version here)
3. LOFT Ruffle Front Cardigan (similar here, here, and here)
4. Ann Taylor Petite Silk Shell with Necktie and Pintuck (similar here, here, and here)
5. Ann Taylor Petal Front Shell (lovely petal shell covered in tiny petals here)
6. Stella McCartney for Target Lace Top (similar here, here, and here)
7. ASOS Lace Peter Pan Collar Blouse (similar here and here)
8. Ann Taylor Cascading Ruffle Blouse (similar here and here)
“Bottoms” make up one-third of my 30 item quota. I hope this isn’t a mistake.
9. Stylementor Pencil Skirt (similar here)
10. Stylementor Slit-Back Pencil Skirt (similar hot pink version here)
11. Forever 21 Lissette Woven Shorts
12. Abercrombie & Fitch Harley Skirt
13. Necessary Objects Pleated Pant with Pockets (similar here)
14. Ann Taylor Petite Exposed Zipper Ponte Pencil Skirt (similar here and here)

16. Pins and Needles Tulle Skirt (similar here)
17. Ann Taylor Curvy Denim Slim Jeans
18. Crewcuts Girls’ Microtwill Pouf Skirt (similar here)
I picked six dresses that I hope will rise up to the occasion and double as both business and casual pieces.
19. Orange Style Petal Sleeve Jeweled Dress (similar here)
20. ASOS Petite Tailored Pencil Dress (buy here, here, and here)
21. LOFT Lace Scallop Dress (buy here; similar versions here, here, and here)

Lastly, the shoes. I struggled with this one but ultimately decided to go with nearly all pumps since I anticipate that I’ll have to do about 25 work outfits.

26. Sugar Tan Women’s Trophy Wife Wedges (similar here and here)
