Or: a very tired Nina swaps in two items at 5:30 AM. That is right, folks, I took photos before heading out to Philly for the day for a campus visit. Dedication, thy name is 30x30. This challenge is really kicking my butt into action-- not in terms of remixing, since I do that with nearly every outfit, but with trying to get pictures of every outfit. Which has worked almost perfectly (I took some terrible shots of an outfit that I may have to dress up in again so 30x30 doesn't end when I'm 74.)
*purple striped CPW button down * grey H&M grandpa cardigan * red Target pencil skirt*
*navy tights--Calvin Klein * studded belt--ebay * red flower earrings--F21 * brown jelly headband *
Last week, I went to target to get a mouthguard so I can stop grinding my teeth down to nubs in my sleep. While there, I noticed this adorable little skirt marked down to... $6.24. I may be doing 30x30 but I ain't no fool. Red pencil skirt, less than $7? Welcome to my closet. Though I had intended on wearing my navy jersey dress, this was the only thing I wanted to wear when I woke up that early, so I swapped it in (I've only worn 24 items so far. Yup, I went through photos and counted.) Something about the bright red with the collegiate cardigan and stripes screamed "Take me into your graduate program instead of retiring." At least it did to me. Hope the prof I met with got the same message.

Oooh, I love your outfit! The red skirt is awesome.
That pencil skirt is so flattering on you and I love the color of it. Great outfit!
This is one of my fave outfits on you - it is so crisp, clean and classic. And what a gorgeous and flattering skirt steal!
Whereas I want them all to retire so those of us on the market for 2-3 years running can finally land a tenure track job.
I love the red pencil skirt!
This outfit is awesome! I love the red and gray--such a great color combo.
Love the gray-red-white-black combo, one of my faves. =D You look great, are you a morning person Nina? =)
I think that skirt screams confident professional. I absolutely adore red! You look great.

that red skirt was NOT at my target yesterday! i just love it. and i think the color is so great on you. i can't wait to see what else you can do with it.
Haha...no you ain't no fool. This was a great purchase. It makes me want to hit my local Target to see if there is one with my name on it. Seriously. I've always wanted a nice red, pencil skirt.
I also love the styling - the skinny belt and the cuffed sleeves just make it to crisp.
