30 for 30 - It's here!! Day 1

My gosh it's February already, can you believe how fast January disappeared? Well the beginning of February signifies the beginning of something else too...Kendi Everyday's 30 for 30 challenge!

Now I know I said this week I wasn't going to be able to start the challenge on time but amazingly I managed to get my little behind in gear and get myself organised, just in time. As I undertook this challenge last year, I decided to challenge myself a little extra this time and try to incorporate more colour into my outfits. I was actually quite surprised by how little colour I included last time as I am a fairly colourful person.

Plus there is a personal challenge made by my best friend, Heather, who decided to send me 3 items to try and style. 1 is kinda my style so is fine (the blue flower dress) and 2 piece are totally...totally not me, and she knew that!! If you have been reading my blog a while these 2 piece will stand out a mile, as they are so un-me (the Leopard top and the PINK shirt!) Damn her, but I shall not shy away from a challenge.

So here are my items for the challenge.

Grey Dress - Jane Norman (1)

Bowling Outfit

Its about time you got to see a new outfit post. This outfit was for a friends birthday on Monday and I am wearing my new cloche hat that Jon bought me last week. I love the 20's style cloche hat and had been looking at a few recently so was over the moon when my honey came home with this one for me. It's perfect, grey wool with a big black ribbon rosette.

Cloche Hat: TKMaxx

Coat: Clockhouse, C&A

Top: Nygard Collection

Skirt: Wallis

Shoes: NewLook

Necklace: Vintage

Bracelet: Gift from Aunty Mags

Bowling Shoes!!

I came 2nd in our team!!

That D is me, the J is Jon! I beat him and came 4th overall.

Yesterdays Friend Friday post seems to have elicited quite a lot of discussion. And strangely lots of us have the same turn offs when looking at other blogs. Automatic music playing seems to be our number 1. I don't know why exactly we all dislike it so much, but for me its just intrusive. I will often be watching the TV or listening to something at the same time as reading blogs. So when they auto play it irritates me and I will often close the tab, unless I am reading something really special, then I will mute my computer, if I am not listening to something through it.

Other dislikes of ours seems to be:

Posts that are too long

Blurry Images

Blogs that just show Catwalk and Magazine editorial

Blogs that are only pictures with very little content

Blogs that take too long to load

Blogs that are visually chaotic or jarring to the eye

Over advertisement/sponsored posts

Too many celebrity photos

We were all pretty similar with what we don't and our tips to other readers and I think if you are new to blog it may be beneficial to read some of our posts. All of which can be found on Modly Chic

If you checked in earlier this morning you may have found a sunday post. That because I have clearly gone mad and didn't even know what day of the week it was and scheduled the wrong date. Anyway that post will be back up tomorrow, on Sunday!! lol.

Thats all for today
