Another New Day: tops

I am joining again this week with Lauren at From my Grey Desk for the Penultimate week of 30 with 30! I am beginning to yearn for some new items for my wardrobe now , but have got fairly used to going into town and resisting buying items here and there. Instead I have created a board on Pinterest called My Autumn Wardrobe and I am pinning possible items of clothing that I like and may purchase when I have finished with my 30 with 30 challenge - I am really quite enjoying this different approach - for now anyway!!!

I decided to try not to purchase anything during this challenge although I know this isn't a rule! I just felt it is so easy to have closet full of unworn items and yet to keep buying . I have also used this time to have a clear out of my closet and have started to list it all on e.bay to help fund my purchases for the Autumn and Winter.

So this for this weeks outfits I have tried to use some things I haven't used so much on my previous outfits and say when I might wear them.

Outfit One: Working at home.

Outfit Two: Cooler Evenings

Outfit Three: The School Run.

Three Outfits.

The Challenge is to pick 30 items from your closet and create your outfits from those 30 items until you run out of ideas!

I am joining this challenge a few weeks in, but most of you who know me will know how I run a little late occasionally on things anyway! I just couldn't fit it in before, but it looks fun and being new to this blogging adventure I thought Id give it a go....

Want to get in on the Fun too?

Every Tuesday (starting June 19th) you can link up over at From My Grey Desk Blog with ONE post that features up to THREE outfits from the 30 items you chose from your closet (which means that the challenge will last at least 10 weeks). Then, you can check back the following week to see if your outfit(s) was picked as our favorite of the week! And link up another few outfits.

I have put the link in my side bar.

So the idea is you pick 30 items from your closet , or for us in the UK , your wardrobe ( such a funny word that one) and you create your outfits simply from those 30 items. I am going to also try not to buy anything new during that time - not even a little cami top or T shirt, no, no , no! We'll see if I fall at the first hurdle there.

Outfits

I am going to try and photograph myself in these outfits , but the weather is so wet I cant get outside to take any decent photographs , so I will lay the outfits out and try and add them later in the week if I can ! My camera has an awful shadow on it with photos that are taken inside - a visit to the camera doctor is in order I feel. You can see it in some of the photos of my little girls room - creepy!

I did try last week on holiday to get a few snaps , but as you can see the wind was our enemy, but hey I'll put them on so you can have a laugh at my expense!
