30 for 30 - It's here!! Day 1

My gosh it's February already, can you believe how fast January disappeared? Well the beginning of February signifies the beginning of something else too...Kendi Everyday's 30 for 30 challenge!

Now I know I said this week I wasn't going to be able to start the challenge on time but amazingly I managed to get my little behind in gear and get myself organised, just in time. As I undertook this challenge last year, I decided to challenge myself a little extra this time and try to incorporate more colour into my outfits. I was actually quite surprised by how little colour I included last time as I am a fairly colourful person.

Plus there is a personal challenge made by my best friend, Heather, who decided to send me 3 items to try and style. 1 is kinda my style so is fine (the blue flower dress) and 2 piece are totally...totally not me, and she knew that!! If you have been reading my blog a while these 2 piece will stand out a mile, as they are so un-me (the Leopard top and the PINK shirt!) Damn her, but I shall not shy away from a challenge.
So here are my items for the challenge.
Grey Dress - Jane Norman (1)
Blue Pattern Dress - H&M (2)
Blue Tunic Dress - Primark (3)
Vintage Pink and Grey check skirt - Jacqman (7)
Spot pattern skirt - Topshop (5)
Daisy Skirt - I.N.C (4)
Colourful Flower Skirt - Amari (6)
Green Trousers - Tommy Hilfiger (9)
Jeans - Dorothy Perkins (8)
Black Trousers - M&S Limited Collection (10)
(I decided not to included the beige tank with the black lace trim, but had already taken my photos, so please ignore it, lol)
Black Top - Nygard Collection (13)
Leopard Top - New Look (11)
Cream Jumper - Primark (14)
Purple Bow Back Jumper - George at ASDA (15)
White Top - Primark (16)
White Ruffle front Vest - Primark (12)
Teal T-shirt - Tommy Hilfiger (17)
Purple Stripped Cardigan - SWS (21)
Pink Shirt - Dorothy Perkins (18)

    I don't think I have 30 things that I could use everyday :(
    I had to throw away so many things that I didn't look good in so I only have like a rotation of 6 outfits that I am trying to work with, heh.
