halfway there

Skirt (remixed like this), Top (remixed like this) & Belt- Thrifted; Shoes- Fergalicious by Fergie; Bracelet- Aldo; Nail Polish- Butterfly by Revlon
The summer edition of Kendi Everyday’s 30x30 remixing challenge is halfway through and I can already feel my creativity starting to wane.  The weather in Ottawa is on and off, one day we'll have a torrential rain and thunder storm and the next day it’s humid and sticky which makes it difficult to dress for.  Adding 8 pairs of shoes into the remix wasn’t my brightest moment either- I think 5 or even 6 would have been sufficient!

However I love the concept of the challenge, it’s so refreshing to find new ways to wear your outfits and go shopping in your closet instead of at the mall (although I do love a good thrift store shopping spree!) I’m yet to decide on my 30th remixing piece, I’m thinking a floral yellow romper to wear to the Canada Day festivities tomorrow but I’ll let the weather dictate that one...

A question for all you fellow remixers, are you finding the summer version challenging or are you staying on track? I personally found the winter version much easier, probably because Ottawa's winters are as cold as Siberia leaving you little option of what to wear, making the clothing selection simple pimple, easy squeezy (I think I inherited that gem of a saying from my Mum!)

    I love the blousey shirt tucked into the pencil skirt. I've never done the 30 for 30, but I'm more of a summer girl, so I imagine that I'd like the spring/summer challenge better... It must get tough towards the last half of the challenge though!

    I've never done a remix. I don't think I could if I tried. I am in awe.

One of my daily joys is reading the lovely comments you leave. It may take a day or two (or three, depending on how hectic life gets!) but I will stop by your slice of the blogosphere soon! xo Emily
