Day 29:
Earlier this month a lovely blogger asked me if I wanted to swap buttons to post on each other's blogs. I thought that was a great idea, except I didn't have a button. Well, my sister came to my rescue again and made me one. I thought it would be fun to do a free button swap for February, so if you're interested, grab mine and leave a comment, and I'll stop by your blog and do the same. Nothing better than sharing the blog love :)
Now, onto my outfit: I honestly can't believe how versatile this dress is? It works perfectly as a shirt today. Silly me had this put away with my summer clothes until I began searching for my 30x30 items. This challenge has really made me rethink what I truly have in my closet and how I chose to wear it. I feel like I need to get up on a soap box and teach about the power of restyling, but honestly that just sounds like too much work today.
Also, I was nominated for the Leibster award again by Vita at PixieVita, stop by her blog and say hi :).
