{Spring 2012 30x30 Remix}

WHEEEEE!!! I am so dang excited to be doing another 30x30 remix!  I have been wanting to do one for a while (remember that crazy idea I had when I said I was going to do outfit shots on our cruise and document a Holiday 30x30??? hahah.. ya, that never happened........ obviously...) so needless to say I am chomping at the bit!  

Anywho, if you are new to Just Us, can I just, right quick, introduce you to the 30x30 Remix concept?  It's not my idea and I am not the first person to ever to it, but I kinda sorta love it and have actually gotten into the habit of applying it to how I dress everyday.  (Hi my name is Jessica and I dress myself everyday.  So novel, I know.)
The basic outline of it is, you choose 30 items from your closet (including footwear) and remix them into 30 different outfits for 30 days. :)  Accessories don't count (belts, scarves, purses, flower clips, etc and jewellery, if you wear it).
You can read about it all here and if you play around on her website, you probably can find all the remix's Kendi has done.  
{Just as a side note, I love Kendi.  Everyday.  (hahah.. see what I did there?) But I really do.  Her style speaks to me.  She keeps it classy, but isn't afraid to sass it up.  I love her. LOVE.  Side note over.}

I have done two remixes myself (a winter one and a summer one)... I am excited to do a spring one!  Really that just means a combination of winter and summer stuff right?  'Cuz one day it could be 15 degrees and the birdies are chirping and the next day we're getting pelted with a sleet storm.. So, I am excited about the challenge of trying to combine these two seasons without looking like a complete wacko.  Wish me luck.
Oh yeah and did I mention that there is (generally) a shopping ban during the 30x30??  :) 

So let's get started shall we?!  Below are the items I have chosen for this remix and starting tomorrow, you'll get to see my pretty little face (HA. HA. HA.  you can take that as a sarcastic or evil laugh. It's up to you, really.) for the next 30 days as I stumble/fumble/rumble (what?) my way through this challenge.  I forewarned you that you might not be able to get rid of me now that I'm unemployed. ;)
  Here we go!
