Fuchsia and Navy

IMG_2517

Top: Tucker for Target; Skirt: Forever 21; Shoes: Target; Sunnies: Target; Bag: thrifted originally Target

As much as I love this top, I have struggled with figuring out what to wear with it since I purchased it several months ago.  It didn't quite look right to me when paired with a black or gray pencil skirt.  But some how, this fuchsia skirt feels right with it!  Discovering new ways to wear clothing you already own is almost like shopping. I heart remixing!

Speaking of remixing, I decided that I will participate in Kendi's 30 for 30 challenge (for the second summer in a row) when it starts next week.  It will be a good exercise in keeping my clothing shopping in check this summer. If you also plan to participate in the 30 for 30, let me know so I can cheer you on in your progress!

    I was going to do the summer 30 for 30, but it requires too much creativity for my office. I wouldn't be allowed to wear half the combinations I came up with!

    I love that skirt so, so much. It's fantastic! I'm glad you found a way to wear that top, too. You look awesome!

    I love that top! It's such a nice print (and so different from the maroon with flowers tucker print that everyone and their mother has).
    I think your pairing is perfect and you look so great in those sunnies!

    Love the fuchsia skirt.
    I was planning to join the 30 for 30. I've never one done before so I'm kinda excited.

    Thanks lady! Coming up with work appropriate outfits with a strict dress code can be a challenge for the 30 for 30.  But you are a great remixer without it!

    Thanks lady!  I liked so many pieces from that Tucker for Target line. 

    These are my favorite sunnies of the moment : )

    I've been loving that pink and red trend. This shirt with a little red blazer or cardigan with jeans would be amazing.

    I love this look!  The blouse looks amazing with the fuchsia skirt, it really brings out the flowers!
