Outfit 9 of 30. In my quest to add color I was trying to figure out what else I could work with while sticking with the 30 for 30 clothing items. I looked in my closet and wished I had put this blue sweater in the challenge items, but then I remembered I had worn it as a scarf last winter and it worked perfectly. So I grabbed it and figured it would work with this floral shirt. Plus, I’ve been having trouble figuring out what to wear and pair this shirt with. In my opinion, this shirt is difficult to wear and it a little shapeless, so I like it better with a jacket.
I’m chilling with the family this week… so I’m keeping this short.
Tip: Try to reinvent something and utilize it in a different way than it was created to be for.
Pants: Paige Denim, grabbed at last swap
Shirt: Old Navy
Jacket: Target
Scarf: Express
Shoes: Payless
Earrings: New York & Co.

I love the sweater-as-scarf! Lately I’ve been looking to repurpose some clothes to stretch out my 30×30 options as well – inspired by dotty’s skirt-as-scarf, I recently wore a tank top as a cowl.

I love the idea! So cute and I wouldn’t have known that was a sweater unless you had said! I found my way here the other day via monkey face and I’m so glad I did.

I love this idea! I think I have a sweater that would work perfectly! I love your pointed toe kitten heels (? I think) too. The embellishment gives them a little edge!

I thought of that the other night when I got out of the gym and realized it was too cold for my normal gauzy scarf! Unfortunately, it did not look as good as how you did it here!
Have a Happy, Happy Valentines!
