For me, visiting college campuses is always a bittersweet experience.  And our little excursion to Harvard this past weekend was no exception. While it’s nice to be reminded of all the fun I used to have in college (tons of freedom with very little responsibility other than going to class), it’s also a wake up call that I’m no longer the fresh-eyed coed I used to be.  Oh well, I like to still think I could at least pass as a grad student!

Closet Confection: A Match Made In Heaven

{H&M Tank, Skirt and Scarf, Vince Camuto Ankle Boots}

I fell in love with this skirt when I saw it in the store a while back, but I had a lot of trouble styling it.  The first time I wore it, I paired it with a navy blue tee.  Let’s just say that the resulting outfit was lackluster at best.  So as you can imagine, I was over the moon when I recently spotted this matching scarf tucked away in a bin under one of the display tables.  Talk about a match made in heaven!

When: Monday, January 31st, 2011

Ok folks, the remix has officially begun!

I decided to throw in some more challenging pieces this time around, and this sheer, tie-front, snake print, blouse/cape-thingy definitely fit the bill.  It’s not something I’d normally be drawn to, but it’s turning out to be an extremely versatile little number.

I can’t wait to show you guys the amazing pattern-mixing I have planned for this baby in week 3!

In the mean time, I have a bit of a confession to make:

Even though I wore my first remix item on January 31st, I rationalized to myself that the 30 for 30 Challenge doesn’t officially begin until February 1st. And of course, the necessary result of that conclusion led me to one last shopping excursion after work.

But that’s it!  I’m officially sticking to my guns from here on out for the next 30 days!
