Hey, look at that! A relatively cute outfit, and not a moment too soon. I’m enjoying the restrained colour palette I’m rocking for this 30 x 30 challenge, and this is a good example. Two neutrals (three if you count the bag) and pale blue, plus the slightest hint of yellow. So restrained. I can barely recognize myself.

Wait! Smiling bitch face? Check. It’s still me, you guys. Phew!

Hellooooo, sunshine!

(Note: This is probably the epitome of no1curr, but a quick update. I’m having something of a blogxistential crisis. However, since I committed to the 30 x 30 challenge (and the posts are in the can already), I’ve decided that I might as well let it run for the rest of the month. After that, I don’t know. Thanks for reading.)

So, this was a pretty cute outfit, even though it involves a bunch of random colours that look mismatched but not, like, on purpose. Let’s call this one … Lost in Translation. Sadly, I didn’t manage a close-up, which would show the subtle mix of stripes (blazer) and polka dots (dress) – which, frankly, might have been the most interesting part of the outfit.

On the other hand, I did manage to capture this:

Herp derp face in action!

Classic Adina.

Boring. I know this is boring, and I apologize. There is nothing wrong with boring (it describes 87% of my daily existence, and I happen to be quite fond of my daily existence, on the whole), but riveting blog fodder it does not make. But this is the nature of the beast 30 x 30 challenge. You get the good, the bad, the terribly misguided, and the boring.

I was sorely tempted to make this a wordless post, but I’m not a quitter when the alternative is verbosity. Still, rather than continue to bore you in written form, after exhausting the visual, I figured it might be a good time to open the floor, so to speak, to readers’ questions – style-related or otherwise. Seriously, don’t be shy! Bring them on!
