the next time you see me... (details on the 30/30)

Woo hoo! Party time! I am SO geeked about this go round of the 30/30 Challenge (if you want details, go here!). I think having one under my belt helps and also after I chose the pieces I realized that I really, truly loved each and every piece that I chose (minus some new jeans I would like... but I can deal).

Shall we take a peep at the 30? Let's! Drum roll...

I was going to do a run down of some of the pieces and how/why I chose them, etc... but I think I will just chat about that as I post outfits. Including what I consider almost a shocking decision: I only included FOUR pairs of shoes. But I have reasoning and thoughts on all of it and I'll let you know as I go along. I will also chat briefly about new items I bought specifically before the challenge to spruce things up. Any guesses on what's new or how much I spent? I'll dish on it all.

Also, PLEASE NOTE: this will serve as the master link list for all my outfits. I WILL not be linking individual items in my posts for the Challenge. But I will help ya' out and link back to this page if you want shopping details.

Stay tuned on Monday for my first outfit! geeee!!!
