Shoes: Sperrys, denim: Anthropologie, shirt: J. Crew, jacket and scarf: Forever 21, necklace and bracelet: Tiffany & Co., ring: from Ireland, shades: Ray-Ban.So...plaid on plaid...I like it. A lot. What do you think? Too Christmasy? Too plaid-y? The remix is almost over and I'm trying to get a little creative. I found this photo on pinterest and was inspired.

7 days left!!!

30 For 30 Remix, Day 17: Cuffed

Flats: Nine West, denim: Anthropologie, shirt: J. Crew, sweater: The Limited, bag: LV, necklace: Forever 21.I cuffed my jeans this morning, which I don't normally do, and which you probably didn't notice.

I had recently read an article in a fashion magazine (Lucky's March issue) about where your pants hem should hit. The conclusion...well, read the magazine, because they offer a page and a half of answers to that question.

Anyway, the article did inspire me to try something new and cuff these jeans, since they are a little bit long and I am a little bit short. I liked the subtle, simple change. And I think they showed off my orange flats a bit more.

It's all in the details, guys...

30 For 30 Remix, Day 15: Wu Hoo!!

Flats: GAP, denim: Anthropologie, top: Jason Wu for Target, jacket: The Limited, shades: Ray-Ban, necklace and bracelet: Tiffany & Co., ring: souvenir from Ireland.

So, you may have heard that Jason Wu recently designed a super cute and preppy little collection for Target. And that it sold out in hours, just like their Missoni collection. Luckily, I was able to pick up some cute things on Sunday morning. At 8am. When Target opened. Despite the early morning hours, there were plenty of women there ripping clothes off racks. Ugh.

Getting up at the crack of dawn for designer collections at Target is super lame, but a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do, right? My dad was shocked that I was out of bed that early on a Sunday, but when I explained why, he understood and said, "Ah, the Wuster has crowed." He's a funny guy.

Anyway, I had a sweater in the mix that I haven't worn yet, so I decided to replace it with this top and include it in the remix. I'm thinking of pairing it with a black skirt...if I ever wear the skirts in my remix. (I'm trying!)

I also got this and this but they are not part of the remix. Anyway, I'm just really excited about Jason Wu's collection. What do you think?

30 For 30 Remix, Day 14: Comfort Zone

Heels and bag: Coach, denim: Anthropologie, tunic: Splendid (via Anthropologie), sweater: Old Navy, shades: Ray-Ban, ring: souvenir from Ireland, bracelet: Tiffany & Co.

I'm learning some things about myself through the Remix. One of them is that I rarely deviate from my comfort zone...which is jeans and some sort layered top/sweater or top/blazer combo. Part of me thinks this is okay because it's....me. But another part of me really wants to get creative and try something totally new.

Other observations:

I love animal prints. (Did I mention that this sweater was $12.50? Yeah, that's ridiculous.)

I just love jeans. They're like, my thing.

I don't love skirts. I have 3 skirts in my remix and have worn one once so far. Major skirt fail. I'll have to start wearing them more. Or, maybe not...

I love this pink tunic I got for Christmas (also see it here). It's a tad long for layering like this, but it works, I think.

I'm trying to figure out what other patterns are emerging through this process about my style. How can I really mix things up?! Any comments/thoughts?

30 For 30 Remix, Day 8: 101 Dalmation Dots

Denim: Anthropologie, dalmation-print sweater: Old Navy, leather jacket: The Limited, black flats: GAP, shades: Urban Outfitters, bag: Coach, ring: souvenir from Ireland, necklace and bracelets: Old Navy, silver bracelet: Tiffany & Co.

What’s black and white and spotted all over? Dalmation puppies? YES. And this little sweater from Old Navy that I paid $12.50 for. (RIGHT?!) My love for animal prints is no secret. I liked pairing these dashing dots with the leather jacket...I think it gives it a retro vibe. Seriously…there was a red motorcycle in the parking lot that I almost hopped on today.

I think I’ll layer this sweater with the pink tunic for a future remix…? We’ll see. You’ll definitely spot it again soon though. Spot…get it? See what I did there?

30 For 30 Remix, Day 4: Perplexing Plaid

Denim: Anthropologie, plaid shirt: J. Crew, black blazer: Nordstrom, flats: GAP, bag: LV, necklace and bracelet: Forever 21, ring: The Limited, glasses: Urban Outfitters.

I've always been hesistant to wear plaid. A long time ago, a weird view developed in my head that plaid should be something that only paper towel endorsers, hunters...guys should wear. It's definitely a more masculine look...

But that's okay. Masculine can work, especially paired with blazers, pearls, or even sequins. Yes, you can wear a plaid shirt with sequins! Look how cool my exact shirt looks here. I die.

I am perplexed no more. Plaid is amazing and comfortable and versatile and preppy and punky and classy, all at the same time. And you don't need to have "chop wood" on your to-do list to rock it.
