Week 1 Round-Up: #May30x30

Friends, it’s been 1 week of the 30×30 challenge (to read more about it, pop on over to my intro post here!) – and I’ve got to say, you’ve been killin’ it!

It’s been an absolute thrill to see the combinations and creativity from everyone in the instagram community. I have definitely gotten some outfit inspiration from all of you to fuel the remaining 4 weeks of the challenge. You can bet I’ll be doing some repeats of your best hits!

Because there’s SO many great outfits, I’ve decided to do weekly round-ups on the blog instead of inundating your stories with hundreds of posts 🙂

The themes of this week seem to be:

Simple & tonal
Thrifted & secondhand pieces
Tied button-ups!

So without further ado, here are my week 1 favourites! Click through to check out each of these amazing humans’ feeds, and show them some love! (and be sure to scroll down allllll the way to see my favourite look of the week!)

Hey hi it’s me, the one who hates taking her own ootd pics unless is a story but I decided to join @petraalexandra ‘s #may30x30 so here I am. Today easy peasy combo: @everlane pants and cotton-linen sweater, @reebok sneakers and my new @portlandleather tote – which is perfect for all my needs, I’ll talk more about it in the future!

Day 2| I actually learned about the #May30x30 challenge very late Sunday night. Scrolling through my IG while waiting for The Game of Thrones S8E03 to go LIVE, I saw @petraalexandra and @candicemtay’s posts about the challenge. Boom! I’ve always wanted to join one of these challenges and I felt like it’s now or never! (I know it sounds a little bit dramatic…) So it’s been decided before the opening credits of the GOT rolled in. I AM GOING TO DO IT! Since I joined the challenge kind of last minute, (and some pieces are in the laundry basket), I didn’t have a chance to do a curated photo or a flatlay for all the pieces yet. I will post my picks in my IG Story later today or over the weekend. A white shirt paired with jeans is my all time favorite outfit combo. And I’m wearing it today! An @everlane white shirt pairing with light blue jeans, and a pair of pointy kitten heels to chic it up. The weather warmed up nicely today and I got one of my favorite outfits on. Very happy indeed.

Get dressed every day. • • Today I didn’t really HAVE to get dressed. But I have adopted this mantra of getting dressed anyway, and it really helps me feel ready to get a lot more done in a day. There have been times in my life when I didn’t need to get dressed daily, but I found that when I didn’t, I would get into kind of a rut. And I would often let not being ready (or not wanting to get ready) interfere with me going places or doing things. I don’t always get “dressed up” necessarily. If I’m going to be doing something messy like an art or home project, or gardening, I change into activity-appropriate clothes. If I’m not doing anything in particular, I still at least get out of my pajamas! That way if I have to run to the store or to work on the fly, I don’t have to be stressed about getting ready. On the flip-side, I do promptly change back into casual clothes the moment I get back home for the day! How do you feel about getting ready when you don’t really have to? Do you like to get dressed every day or would you rather chill in your sweats as much as possible? • • Pants& jacket @lykkewullf Shoes @everlane Top and necklace #vintage #thrifted • • #ootd #May30x30 #ethicalootd #lykkewullf #vintagestyle #everlane #secondhandclothes #chooseused #sustainablefashion #sustainablestyle #ethicalfashion #10x10challenge #noihsafbazaarscore

#May30x30 Day 1! I’m quite excited about this challenge. I’ve been feeling a little “stuck” creatively, and I think this challenge is just the thing to get the creative juices flowing again. I find that when I have fewer pieces, I always discover new ways to wear old items and it kind of forces me to get creative with what I have. Let’s do this! Today I’ve paired a simple tank top with high waisted jeans and a long robe cardigan. I am beginning to question my footwear choices though as I look at the rain outside…I’m hoping there will be some warmer days coming soon! Outfit: @elizsuzann Petra Top in Ivory Linen Gauze @cheapmonday The Donna Jeans (old) @shop_skye Two Tone Cardigan

THIS IS THE TIME ON SPROCKETS WHEN WE DANCE. Okay, had to get that out of the way. if you watch my stories, you'll see that I am playing around with doing the May 30 by 30, and this dress would be the first part of that, if I do it. Theoretically this dress should be a really versatile, staple piece in my wardrobe, realistically I barely ever think to pull it out. . . .

I was gonna try to do a #may30x30 (even though May has 31 days…) but didn’t plan anything out so I guess these items are now included by default! If I remember to plan for it tonight. It might just fall off my radar altogether, which is very me these days. . . . . . . . . . . #ootd #ootdfashion #ootdfash #outfit #outfitoftheday #outfitinspo #outfitideas #outfitdiaries #outfitrepeater #capsulewardrobe #capsulecollection #minimalistcloset #capsulecloset #leancloset #wiw #wiwt #whatiwore #whatiworetoday #whatareyouwearing #waywt #30wears #stsfwears #inmynisolos

My first outfit for @petraalexandra 's #may30x30 challenge and my first wardrobe challenge ever! Sorry for awkward pose 🙁 Outfit one consists of a vintage dress purchased at the annual vintage clothing sale hosted by the National Trust, a gap patchwork jacket that is well on its way to #30wears, and some black ankle boots i bought in Berlin last year.
