As promised, it’s time for me to share my first Top 10 Remix outfit! I got really excited yesterday as I saw more and more comments and tweets streaming in from people saying they plan to try it, and a couple bloggers even did their first post before I did! I gotta admit, I’m relieved. Much like an orgy, a style challenge can seem like a genius idea when you think of it, but it can turn awkward if you don’t get the reaction you expected. Not that I would know. My orgy and style challenge proposals have always been warmly received.

I’m starting off the Remix with my mint Rebecca Minkoff MAC bag. How did I know this bag should be included in my Top 10? First off, it’s mint green. I had to have something mint on the list. Second, I lusted after this bag for months, so it wasn’t just a spur of the moment purchase. Third, it was pretty pricey by my standards, so I had to sell an old designer bag on Poshmark in order to pay for it. In other words, I must really love it. You can see the rest of my Top 10 in this post. If you were thinking of joining the challenge but haven’t started yet, no worries! There’s no cut off. It’s only April 2nd, and you can jump in anytime. Happy remixing!

Happy Friday!

April Fools. It’s only Wednesday. But I did wear this last week for casual Friday.

That is about as far as I go with April Fools jokes. I really hate it when I fall for pranks, so I don’t like to play them on other people. It’s not really a matter of being nice (am I saying that word right? is it nyce? or more like niece?). I just figure if you play pranks on people, you’re more likely to piss them off and make them want to get back at you. So I’m going to just keep being sarcastic because I’m perfectly capable of taking sarcasm. Feel free to leave me some in the comments.

Since it’s April 1, you know what that means (other than a day to NOT play tricks on Sarah)…it’s the start of this month’s Top 10 Remix style challenge! This outfit is the last of my pre-challenge looks from March, so tomorrow you’ll start seeing my Top 10 creations. What is this challenge, you ask? Short version: pick your 10 favorite things that define your personal style, and work 1 of those items into everything you wear this month. If you’re on social media, share photos with the hashtag #Top10Remix, and if you’re a blogger, blog about your experience with the challenge and join the weekly linkup. I’ve already heard from several you, and I’m soooooo excited to see what you all pick! (And I swear, that’s not sarcasm.)
