this skirt used to be a gigantic dress (lulu letty's dress's twin) but after extensive hacking, a few consultations with my mama, and a new waistband it is now dotty-sized!

and with the sleeves scrunched this jacket takes on a miami vice vibe. rad.

this bun looks a little pebbles flintstone-ish. 

and i'm wearing my tucker for target dress backwards which puts the ruffles in the front.  so crazy!  okay, not so much.  i'm beginning to think that it's just a normal dress with the tag in the wrong place.

this skirt is silk and a brilliant magenta hue.

this skirt is not my size at all.  it's paperbag-ish--and not in a good way.  i didn't consider this before including it in my thirty.  oh well.  it will spend the remainder of the challenge taunting all the gray pieces i included.

these shoes made it through dinner and shoe shopping with my college roomie, so i got to be five inches taller for the evening.  

even though everyone seems to think that i missed my index finger when painting my nails, i am still all for the odd finger out nail painting strategy.

i hate the saying "shoot for the moon and even if you miss you will land among the stars".  really, if you miss the moon, then somebody gave you bad coordinates.  i think nasa would back me up on this one.  anyway, this star shirt is super soft.

i went shoe shopping a few weeks ago and my friend and i both fell for the same wedges.  we are awesome like that.

this top is definitely not my size.  there may or may not be a hairtie in the back smallening it.  

i know it's only day one, but i think this is going to be a stellar thirty for thirty challenge.

dotty's summer thirty

i've participated in kendi's thirty for thirty challenge twice before (summer and winter), so i think i'm getting better at picking pieces.  this is by far the most color and pattern i've ever incorporated, so hopefully i won't end up looking mismatched by the end.  the links on the item listings below go to my weardrobe catalog, mostly so that i can reference how i've worn the pieces before. 

dash_thirties
six pairs.  last round i got thoroughly tired of the four pairs i picked, so variety was key here.
tan wedges, cream sandals, gold flats, metallic oxfords, black peeptoes, and yellow wedges.

dash_thirties3
four dresses since they are so simple for summer.
a new-ish steel blue shirtdress, a navy number, my favorite orange dress, and a green cotton one.

dash_thirties5
seven tops because when i added everything up and had extra space i added more in this department.
a black ruffley blouse, a navy tank, a starred tank, a red speckled silk shell, a gray tee, a mustard polyester friend, and a light blue patterned blouse.


dash_thirties4
five jackets and cardigans for layering.
a white blazer, a besequined cardigan, a lavender cardigan, a gray boy's blazer, and a mustard jacket.

dash_thirties2
six skirts because i wanted to incorporate two freshly altered thrift finds.
a blue floral vintage skirt, a magenta silk number, a white pencil, a polka dot one, a gray pencil, and a gray lace mini.

dash_thirties6





and two pairs of pants for when all those skirts lose favor.
a pair of cropped skinny jeans and a pair gray skinny dress pants.

who else is in this time?
