I couldn't let you down and not post 5 outfits this week, so here is #19. I can't wait for next week, and to be 3/4 of the way through this challenge! It has been difficult to take decent pictures and keep up the creativity with each item, but I've definitely learned how to push myself to think outside the box. I have some fun outfits to show you next week, so make sure you check back again soon!
Can you tell it was cold? I had to throw on my trusty legwarmers which never let me down.

Just as a Preface to these outfit pictures, for some reason I cut off my feet in every picture. I do have feet and I am wearing shoes just in case you got worried. I'm sorry for the reappearance of the glasses so soon, but I can't get enough of them. I went for the studious student look today so of course I had to wear my trusty glasses. Or for those of you who follow The Man Repeller, my Birth control glasses. For those who don't follow, it's basically saying that every straight man despises these glasses and therefore acts as another form of birth control. I know it sounds ridiculous but it's so true. I'm surprised my BF didn't refuse to take pictures of me while wearing them. He has come so far.

I thought I'd let out my inner geek today. I know the glasses are a little over sized, yet ridiculously fun! I felt inspired by my newest blogger crush Atlantic-Pacific, she totally rocks them. I have been trying to experiment with new looks lately so please don't be alarmed by this unrecognizable hottie in the 2nd half of this 30 for 30 outfit challenge.

I don't know about you, but I am so ready for the weekend. I find that my weeks have been getting busier and busier, which I don't mind, but I can't wait to sit back with a nice cup of tea and cuddle up with my bf. It is also a long weekend for us Ontario-on's (?) which makes it that much better! As far as the outfit goes, I decided to keep things neutral for today and I actually quite enjoy it. I thought the belt and tights still added that bit of interest to the outfit that it needed. I wanted to say a quick shout out to my new followers! Thanks for joining in on the fun, I hope you all have a great weekend.

Today is a mix of comfort and style.

Happy Valentine's Day!
I got to go skiing with the BF for our Valentine's celebration on Saturday, and I was thankful that the temperature was above freezing so we could spend a full day on the slopes. I was exhausted by the end of the day and my body was so sore, but thankfully I didn't take any big spills, and came back in one piece. So, in the spirit of Valentine's day I thought I'd wear my red tights. I typically would have never worn these tights with these shoes, or a grey sweater with beige shoes... but I am pushing myself to take more risks and open myself up to new possibilities with my closet. What do you think? What risks have you taken while doing the 30x30 challenge?

I pulled out my favourite head scarf today to add a little hippie flavour to this outfit. This thing was my saving grace after a bad haircut mishap, so I thought I'd give it a little love and show it to the world. You like? I had to take these photos after work today and the sun was almost set, so sorry for the weird colouring. I can't wait to have my pro-star photographer back tomorrow aka the BF. I'm so happy it's the weekend. Friday's just rock my socks.
On an exciting note, I am now accepting sponsors! If you are interested in Sponsoring or Advertising on my blog please send me an email. You can read my Contact tab for more information. Hope you have a great weekend!

I debated whether or not to post this outfit cause I really am not a fan of how the leopard tank looks with this blue sweater, but I didn't want to leave my wonderful readers without a 30x30 post today. The sudden snowstorm made these pictures a little blurry, plus the fact that I was freezing and just wanted to get the heck off that hill! If you noticed, my boots are covered in snow, that's because at the bottom of that hill was a giant ditch! While running up the hill I sunk all the way through up to my knees. Good thing I had my knee high boots on and not my converse!
On a side note, I'm getting excited for Valentine's Day! Since I only see my bf on the weekend, we are 'celebrating' on Saturday. We're going skiing! Yay, I can't wait to be a snow bunny for a day. There's only one problem, I have no idea what to wear!? Any advice on what to wear for a day on the slopes?
