Day 19 of the Who What Wear 30 Day Wardrobe Challenge was "pair your favorite denim pieces together"…..but I ended up pairing all of my favorite items in one outfit. I wore this to a Closet Edit at my favorite boutique (Fab'rik) to share how to clean out your closet, organize and replenish for the Spring…..you can see the steps of the edit on the Facebook page here.

Day 8 of the Who What Wear 30 Day Wardrobe Challenge was "wear an item you haven't worn in at least 6 months"…..which just so happened to be my Sam Eldelman Okala pumps. On this particular day I was super busy with 2 meetings and event (and obviously Doodle was with me)….so I needed to look put together yet still be able to chase around a crazy 2 year old. A leather jacket, boyfriend jeans and interesting (yet comfortable) shoes helped me pull the entire day off…..with a little help from some coffee and Kashi granola bars. 

Speaking of keeping busy…..

Day 4 of the Who What Wear 30 day Wardrobe Challenge was "boyish" which is obviously achieved with the sweatshirt, boyfriend jeans, beanie and leather jacket…….but i love balance with any look so the powder blue heels and statement bag did the trick.

PS a couple of updates…..last Sunday the Doodle Bug peed in his potty for the first time #humblebrag; also I started a Tumblr page which you can find here because I love to keep all of my visual inspiration on my desktop (Yes, Pinterest, I'm cheating on you)…..and last thank you again for everyone who came out to my Loft event last week….you can see the pics and get some spring style tips from the event on the Facebook page here.
