30 for 30 Remix - Outfit 18

1940s Jean Jumper made by yours truly {pattern review} / Hot Pink Blouse J.C. Penny / Tan Boots Target / Black Belt Forever 21 / Floral Dangle Earrings Etsy {won in a giveaway}

I've worn an outfit like this before on the blog - just with a different belt & pair of earrings. But I knew this outfit looked nice and I needed an outfit fast this morning for work - a dressy one too. Tomorrow I'm going to try and be more creative with my outfit. But I have to be careful and not wear too many red, white, and blue outfits before the 4th. As I love dressing for the holiday's. =)

30 for 30 Remix - Outfit 17

Floral Skirt Made by me / Chambray Tunic J.C. Penny / Red & White Stripes Tank J.C. Penny / Red & White Polka-dot Earrings Etsy / Sandals Forever 21/ Owl Ring Kohl's

Look what I did. I mixed two patterns together again. Yep, I've done it twice this week so far. Woo hoo! What other fashion rules will I break this week? :)

I started working on my birthday dress today. I'm using Marie-Madeline Studio's Summer Shade jumper pattern. And guess what?!? I will be mixing patterns once again. Boy, I'm on a roll right now. =)

30 for 30 Remix - Outfit 16

Cream Tunic Anthropologie / Patchwork Skirt Made by yours truly {post} / Tan Boots Target / Black Skinny Belt Forever 21 / Layer Necklace Bass Shoe Outlet / Owl Ring Kohl's / Pink Rose Ring Etsy / Floral Drop Earrings Etsy

I found my new favorite outfit today. Isn't it simply darling?!? The shirt is really a tunic, but as these are these are the only two pieces of clothing left in my closet for the challenge {I didn't wash my clothes on purpose. This forces me to be more creative.} I decided to just tuck the tunic in my skirt. This gives me so many ideas on different ways I can wear my tunics {including this one}. So be bold. Do something unique. Try something new tomorrow, or even this week with one piece in your closet and post pictures on your blog and let me know that you did something different too. =)

30 for 30 Remix - Outfit 15

Navy Blue & White Stripe Shirt Kohl's / Yellow Sundress Gabrielle made it / Tan Boots Target / Cameo Necklace Portobello Road Market

I traded in my 1950s orange & blue sundress for this yellow sundress. Why? I wasn't inspired at all. Besides, this sundress is a more neutral color. :) And look. I'm mixing prints together. Oh. My. I've always been told, 'you don't wear prints together.' Over the past few years I've watched fashion bloggers mix prints. But I never got the courage to do so myself - until today that is. It took a remixing challenge to get me to mix my prints. :p

Besides this being the half-way point in the 30x30 challenge {15th outfit}. This is also my 500th post on Bramblewood Fashion! Whoopee!

Want more exciting news? Some movie magazines from the 1940s that I bought on Etsy last week came today in the mail. And one of them has an article on Deanna Durbin! I might scan some of the magazine pages and post them either on here, or one of my other blogs {here or here}. :)

30 for 30 Remix - Outfit 12

Shorts Hand-me-down Gap / Burgundy Camisole Kohl's / White Blouse Kohl's / Scarf Target / Eiffel Tower Earrings Etsy / Sandals Forever 21

Here's my very late Saturday outfit post. It's late because the camera battery died while we were taking pictures. Then I had to wait for the battery to charge up so I could download the pictures off. :)

I wore this outfit today - minus the scarf - while working in the yard. Yes, I am a little dressy for working in the yard. But silly me, didn't put any t-shirts in as one of my 30 items. Next time I do this I must remember to include a t-shirt. -_-

Today's outfit is very nautical. With the stripes you know. You know what? I love wearing this red striped tank with my polka-doted scarf. It was my go to last summer. :) Speaking about the nautical trend. There is a fabulous Old Navy nautical jewelry giveaway over @ She Hath Done What She Could. Also @ Respect the Shoes you can win a set of Rebecca Minkoff pouches that are very nautical too. Today is just a very nautical day. Did any of you wear the nautical trend today? -_-
