I was unbelievably excited to get started today. I’ve been thinking about it for weeks and staring at the rack of clothes for a week. Plus the clothes I pulled just happen to be some of my favorites.
I went with this dress today because it’s pretty thin and we have some super cold weather coming this week, as do most of the rest of the United States. Plus it’s new. And I thought it would be fun to start the 30x30 in something brand spanking new.
I don’t seem to have any dress guards. So I may have stuck panty liners in the underarms of the blazer to keep it from getting stinky since I need it to stay fresh for me. I’m not saying I DID, I’m just saying I MIGHT HAVE (I totally did.)
This blazer used to be Nathan’s but he loaned it to me a while back because he wanted to see me in it and I’m pretty sure it’s mine now. You can’t see it in any picture I ever take of it, but it actually has little blue and burgundy/pink/red (depending on the light) stripes. Which made it perfect for my 30x30 mix.
Day one down and feeling confident!

Great blazer. Kudos to Nathan once again. He has great taste.
Good idea taking advantage of the weather to wear somethings you might not be able to wear in a few days.
You are off to the races and lookin good!
The Auspicious Life
oh wow, that blazer fits you so perfectly, I would never have guessed you didnt buy it for yourself originally. Pantyliners? You are too funny.
Those two pieces were MADE for each other. And love the pantyliners trick. Brilliant.
That dress? I want. You look wonderful - what a great start to the 30x30! And Nathan is a genius.
The weather here is scary nasty outside - I'm glad you took advantage of yesterday's warmer temps.
CA-YUTE!
Dude, that blazer was MADE FOR YOU. It looks incredible, and it's perfect with that dress! And the pantiliner trick is absolute genius.
I am not usually a fan of the blazer, but it just works here. I also love the boots. I need a pair like this, stat! As a new reader to your blog, I'm very excited to see what you have in store for the 30 for 30!
pantiliners! hahahaha!!!
That dress is gorgeous! Awesome first post for 30x30!
ohmygosh the DRESS!! I saw it in your flickr stream and I love it! It fits your PERFECTLY! and I love the colorful tights with the Docs. So awesome! :)
That dress is beautiful! It looks like a watercolor, and I love how you've anchored it with the grey blazer! Stunning start!
Hope you don't get too much snow!
Wow, I am in awe of this combo. I'm not huge on blazers in general but it goes so perfectly with the dress (and like many others have said, I wouldn't have guessed it wasn't made for you because it fits so perfectly)!
Huge fan of this 30x30 thingie!
I love this look! I have gray blazer envy because I have yet to find an awesome one for myself. I'm also going to utilize your panty-liner trick. Genius!
Pantyliners? Genius! Great look!
What a way to kick off the start of the 30x30. This is a great outfit.
P.S. Love that you admitted to the PL trick!
This is an AWESOME look Erin! I love the dressed up/dressed down vibe of the whole outfit and that dress is just so, so pretty! Way to start off with a bang!

Pantyliners... oh mercy! I love love that dress! It's a beautiful Monet painting! And it fits you like a dream!
Love this outfit - you're off to a really great start on this whole 30 for 30 thing. We're going to have high expectations for the next 29 days. :) And I, too, may have possibly used pantyliners in my pits once or twice...maybe. Recently.
I'm not saying that I'm going to copy your panty-liner idea (since I'm sure you didn't actually do it in the first place), but I totally am! Love the first outfit.
Sooo cute! I love that dress, and I agree- you would never know that blazer wasn't purchased just for you. Looks great!

Happy Day 1!!
Such a great outfit to kick it off! I love the colors in your dress and it fits you so well.
Pantiliners - GENIUS! I'm totally stealing that.
You look FABULOUS in that dress! I love it with the blazer, that's such a great idea and you look awesome.
That blazer looks made for you! And I like what you did with the photos showing each piece.
You make me laugh.
Clearly you are off to a rockin' start with this outfit. AND you are now my new hero for using pantyliners as dress guards. Now that's resourceful!
That dress is just so utterly darling! It's one of those dresses that looks 100x better on, isn't it? Those are so hard to find, because I NEVER THINK TO PICK THEM UP AND TRY THEM ON! I might just be in love with it.
The dress and blazer are great together.
That blazer is awesome! I wore one of my lighterweight dresses today, but I'm afraid that I might need a couple extra layers by the time I need to go home. Yowza, it is getting cold out here! Might have been a two pair of tights day.
Great first outfit Erin! I love that dress - it's so flattering.
Sidenote, I've had your blog up since about 10am this morning and I am just now getting around to commenting! Busy day, what?
I love it! (and am totally stealing your improvised dress shield idea!)
this outfit is incredible! I absolutely adore that blazer with that dress! And so funny that her lent it to you and it now it's a 30x30 item... I'm pretty sure it's yours too! haha
I love the watercolor-y pattern on the dress! Boy's blazers are the best, and it's so cute that you stole it from Nathan!
Love your dress. The water color pattern is so beautiful.

The print on this dress is gorgeous. Great pairing and cool underarm trick!
crazy challenge - but i really like it's idea. i suppose i feel a little bit the same by doing 'WearLessBlack'. there aren't too much pieces in my closet that are not black. so ihave to mix the same items again and again. blah blah...
i really love the first look of the your challenge. Nathan's blazer looks so perfect on you. it should be yours!

I love how you added that blazer to that floaty dress!
love the florals paired with your/nathans blazer! the only clothes of marks that i get are sweaters of his that i *accidentally* shrink ;)
I love the print on that dress, and all of the great prints you included in your 30 picks. Have fun!
I have a link up on Wednesdays for everyone who wears jewelry with their outfits.

I love!!! this outfit! I read most blogs on my little netbook, so I get the fun of watching an outfit evolve as I scroll down the page. With this one, it went "Business! Girly! Whimsicle! Edge-y!", and when you can have all that in one cohesive outfit, you must be doing something right!
Love the dress with the boots; the blazer looks great with the outfit; you've got a great start going. I can't explain why this is so much fun, but it is!
That dress is stunning ! I just love to see how everyone is doing with this challenge yet !
I love how the femininity of the dress and pastel tights are contrasted with the boots and blazer. Sweet, tough and professional. Youre starting strong!
Love that dress. I think pairing it with the blazer and boots was a great idea.
Did you know that you almost match your header today? :) :) Can't wait to see how you'll remix that beautiful dress.
Hysterical over the panty liners!
What a great way to start off the 30x30...and with a new dress to boot?? luck you!! Great outfit..loved the "handed over" jacket...you are totally going to rock this...sounds like you are so excited too!! That will make it tons more fun...looking forward to the next 29 girl!!
Stop by and say Hello:)
Check out my 30x30 Remix….Let’s do this!♥
Hi Erin. I ordered my new glasses today and I had you in mind when I did it. In one week I will be rocking my new raybans. I hope I do you justice :)

<3 mode.

This is one of my favorite 30 for 30-1 outfits. I love how fantastic you look in bad-ass boots (both in general and in this post)!! And that blazer...nice call, Nathan!
I love that dress! Great first outfit, your style is so fun and unique. Can't wait to see what other outfits you come up with!

If you confess, I'll be brave and do it as well: I've done the panty liners thing too!
It was on a shirt that easily became a total mess in the first 30 minutes of wearing it. And I had to get some use of it, you know.
Lovely dress, and great blazer, by the way!
So chic! I love how you paired that flirty, girly dress with those moto boots.

Dammit dammit dammit! Your blazer fits soooo well and I can't believe you got it thrifted! I wanted to go out and buy it. I've been wanting a good grey blazer for a good while!
Luuuuuuuuuuuv this outfit!
I love this! The floral dress is adorable and looks great topped with the blazer!
I have that same dress and love it! I almost didn't buy it because I had bought the same dress in a different print a couple weeks before, but meh, A good dress is a good dress!

Great dress! Great blazer. Pretty much love everything about this outfit. And that fossil bag from your other OOTD is haunting me! It is just too cute.
