These are a few of my favorite things!

What up folks!?!  I'm back!  Can you believe they didn't pull my plug?  (Me either...)  So here I am getting ready to post some more pictures of myself which is really weird for me.  I'm usually posting pictures on facebook of my 4 kids never of myself...

So here's the documentation of the 2nd week of this adventure.  Here is a visual list of the 30 items I have picked out for this challenge.  I picked mostly skirts because that's usually what I wear in the summer months.  The weather has been CRAZY here!!!  Hot, cold, hot, cold, rainy... sheesh.  So I've had to improvise with my narrow selection of pants.

  7. I can't wait to see all the outfits you put together! I've never been brave enough to do 30 for 30 but I love seeing everyone else's outfits! I noticed that a lot of your items are thrifted. I love thrifting and every week I host a thrifting link up. It'll be up all week starting tomorrow and you can post thrifted finds or outfits that contain thrifted items. I'd love for you to join in!
