30 for 30: My Picks
Okay, folks. As I mentioned earlier, I’ll be participating in Kendi’s 30 for 30 challenge, winter edition. For the next 30 days (aside from a 10 day jaunt to Hawaii which necessitates different clothing and the ability to shop) I’ll be wearing an outfit made up of some combination of these 30 items. Wish me luck!
