Pin It & Spin It

I'm so excited to introduce you to Melissa from Melissa Rey Styles.  She is super sweet and has great style (for both herself and her home!).  

Each week we will choose a pin from Pinterest as our inspiration and put our own "spin" on it.

We will also feature a different blogger from time to time to participate in that weeks outfit!

So, if you are interested in being featured leave a message in the comments!

Now, on to week 1 of Pin It & Spin It.  We chose this pin as our inspiration this week!

I approached the outfit pretty literally this week! I bought this skirt last summer and have yet to wear it, so as you can imagine, I was beyond excited to incorporate it into an outfit!  

I chose to forgo the jacket, and incorporated the brown in my shoes (which you can't see anyway!). 

This outfit brought to you unintentionally by Target!

Shirt: Target

Skirt: Target (old)

Shoes: Target

Watch: Target

Gold Bracelet: F21

Necklace: Avon

I hope you enjoyed the first installment of Pin It and Spin It!  Also, be sure to check out Melissa to see her "spin"!

30 for 30 Challenge

This challenge was started by Kendi over at KendiEveryday, here . This is such a great challenge to get you to use what you have in your closet instead of going shopping everyday, which I found myself doing lately. If you haven't heard of the challenge, the rules are very simple:
 1: Choose 30 items from your closet: tops, bottoms, dresses, and shoes
 2: Create a new outfit everyday
 3: No Shopping!

 This should be very interesting for me as I continue to get larger! I may end up bending the rules a bit or swapping some of my original pieces for items that I can fit into.
 I will stay true to the no shopping rule!
 My plan is to start this challenge September 1. Only a few shopping days left!
Please feel free to join in the fun, I would love to see some of your outfits! Just leave a comment in the comment section with a link to your outfits!
