The Challenge - Rewind

...so...

50 days, 8 dresses, 19 cardigans, 7 skirts, 11 pairs of trousers, 27 tops, 5 shirts, 5 jumpers, and various accessories later, and The Challenge was successful. I am currently still on my way to compiling all the items I haven't worn, and I will of course provide photographic evidence. In the meantime, here is a little round up of my last 50 days:

The Challenge - Day 50 THE FINALE

I've actually done it, 50 days of The Challenge, and here is the grand finale outfit:


My very awesome (well, it does have anchors all over it) Vivien Of Holloway dress. The cardigan is from Collectif, and the belt vintage. I got some funny looks today, but also some lovely compliment, all in all a success I'd say.

Thank you for following The Challenge, I will do a little round up shortly of course, and Rockintage will continue nonetheless, now that I've gotten into the swing of things, daily outfit posts will continue!

The Challenge - Day 49

I can't believe the challenge is almost over! As promised, today it was dress time:


The very first Collectif dress I ever bought, the Regina Feral Dress, I do love a bit of leopard print (and by a bit I mean lots), vintage belt from Shrewd, and a trusty black cardi, tied at the waist, may as well highlight the best parts (certainly not the hips in my case).

Have a wonderful weekend (I shall be working)!

The Challenge - Day 48

...again, a super boring day of work trousers. My hated, hated work trousers. They are officially being binned today, and over the weekend (the challenge ends on Saturday) I will be purchasing new and more interesting work related clothing. At least something to look forward to. I'm sorry about the awful picture, but I am still spot central. Eugh. Hence no face (and instead a cheeky cigarette - no wonder I'm spotty).


Boring work trousers, plain black top (from New Look) and a trusty black cardigan. Though I'm hardly one to complain about weightloss (albs so far whoop) its not useful when it comes to existing clothes. Oh dear.

The good news is, for the remaining two days of the Challenge, I have two dresses lined up, a Collectif one tomorrow and a Vivien of Holloway on Saturday. Finally :)

Movement!

This whole challenge has been so much fun, and I love blogging everyday, so I'm keeping this up, and in the spirit of this, I finally have my business cards! Exciting stuff, they're smaller than usual cards, aren't they adorable?! (front and back view)



I am now also the proud owner of rockintage.com! It will take me a little while to sort it all out and get it up and running, but there is definitely exciting times ahead!

The Challenge - Day 47

Finally the red leopard print skirt has had an outing, though I did regret it on the way home in the rain. I did venture to work in trainers, jeans and hoodie, but foolishly thought I would be ok on the way home.


Ignore the bright red nose, apparently that particular area suffered the most in the rain. The red leopard skirt and black shirt are both Collectif, the usual belt, and a trusty cardigan tied at the waist. I like this outfit :)

The Challenge - Day 46

Oh no...another boring day... I had my outfit all laid out, then it was raining, so unfortunately, it was boring work trousers, and as I am taking my new diet very seriously (apparently I've lost 9lbs - but I'm not sure where from, were my toes fatter before?) a friend and I from work, walked 2.6 miles on the way home, so it was trainer time. I don't want to bore you with pictures of the dull work trousers, and I had to forgo make-up today (many growths on my face - big enough to name), so here we are with some chest only.


I got the jumper of eBay, I love it, though it is a bit short, so I usually wear it tucked into a high waisted skirt, and the necklace was bought in Warsaw last year.

Let's hope there is less rain tomorrow so I can break out the red leopard print skirt!
