**nitaw** 31 for 31 challenge ?s

[adlove]

I'm thinking of joining you! I guess I'm a little late haha but have some questions for you. When you were deciding on which items to use, did you have any guidelines to start with? For example, 4 bottoms, 5 shirts, 3 dresses, etc.?

Just wondering what the process was. Anyone else who has done a similar challenge, please weigh in!

Adlove - My biggest thing was trying to find pieces I could work both at the office and casual. I have a LOT of suits, so it's easy for me to just wear the same thing over and over and over. And it's hot as Hades in Memphis, so I haven't really worn a suit since a dang all day meeting. Too hot for that ish.

So, what I did was take a couple of skirts, dresses and lots of sleeveless tops that I generally wear casually, but can be dressed up with a jacket or cardi.

I'm going to put my clothing choices in here so you can see what I selected. I meant to do it earlier, but got sidetracked.

Pants (7) - White slacks, lightweight denim trouser pants, black, white and tan linen slacks, 1 denim capri, 1 pair of shorts.



Tops - (8) -

Cardigans - (4) - I debated on the linen one, but it works great in my office setting so I kept it. I wear a lot of linen in the summer.



Blazers (3) - Yes, two tan, but it's too hot for black and navy.



Dresses (2) - Teal and Orange


Skirts (2) - Black and Denim


Shoes (5) - I omitted my black pumps, but it stands to reason I may have to bust them out with the skirt if I have a meeting. They are on standby. LOL

And by all means, join me so I'm not alone! LOL I tried to convince Smo, but she told me Hell to the Naw. LOL

Ooh this is awesome!! Thanks for posting pics! I love all of your choices, it's really cool to see what you've picked out. Are you adding accessories (outside of the 31)?

I actually stay at home, so my choices will be much more casual, but I think I'm going to do it!

And actually, to make myself accountable, I'll try to take pics of my choices this afternoon too so I will really stick to it. Stay tuned...

[NitaX]

Yep! I'm adding accessories as well.

Here's my outfit 1. Crappy lighting, and there was a tiny human on the floor in front of me so no shoe shot.



The scarf was much cuter, and I needed it in case it was cold at church (we do casual wear during the summer, so I'm not dressy in the photo).

Yay! Do it! We can be our own support group. ;D

Thanks Mav!

Ok nita, here are my picks. Sorry my pictures are probably huge but I don't feel like resizing all of them haha.

12 tops/tanks/camis:



5 dresses:


7 pants/shorts/skirts:




10 shoes/accessories:



So it's a total of 34 things, but I figured the earrings and necklace don't really count, right?

[NitaX]

Love it Adlove. I ADORE that printed skirt.

[adlove]

Thank you!! Can't wait to see how you put your pieces together, this will be fun!

[adlove]

Hmm I think I need to add another pair of shoes or two. Trying to figure out which pieces to leave out. This isn't easy!
