In retrospect, this outfit was hugely inspired by this one of Kendi's--I love the look of the pulled up socks with a long cardigan and an easy printed dress. The whole look feels cozy and pretty and relaxed. And what better to start off a 30 for 30 than by an homage to its inventor?

OMG! You look amazing Tania! Well, I'm convinced that this time you'll surprise yourself with all your creativity! Loved this look! Pink + gray fits perfectly, actually, gray is such an easy color to match ;) You're the prettiest fashion blogger! xoxo
Have a great week, gorgeous!
P.S.: You look SO Kendi! ;)
You look great! I love the color of your dress and the layering you've done. What a great way to kick off the 30 for 30!
So cute! I really like this look. I would have never thought to do with gray with brown - I will have to give it a shot now!
You look so great in this outfit. I am incredibly jealous of how well you can wear knee socks and boots.
Gorgeous!!

Well. You look lovely.
I'm slightly jealous as I was planning on something just as lovely today...but it's like cats and dogs over here. So. I'm living vicariously through you. At least one of us is going to look darling on her first day! :)
You're already doing GREAT and it's only Day 1! I'm so psyched to see what everyone comes up with. :) I think this might, by far, be my favorite outfit on you!
Kendi is great for inspiration! I love this look on you, especially the pop of color!
Great first outfit and photo location Tania! I really like the pop of color from your dress mixed with all of the neutral pieces!

Soooo pretty! I love the way you dress, I just found your blog recently, but I have a feeling you're going to help me dress better. :)

I have this dress! And those boots! I'm doing the 30 for 30 challenge too, but I'm a rookie. Love this outfit and all of your picks :)
You look really cute! What I love about this outfit is it's do-ability (I just invented a word, yes.) for nearly every woman out there. I think those are the best. :)
The loneliest number looks loveliest on you, girl! I am all about the grays with browns this Fall!
That is a great shooting location!
I was inspired by that same outfit after she posted it and wore something similar too!
Ooo I love your dress & that staircase! It's a pretty backdrop for a great outfit!!

Great outfit, and nice setting too!
So adorable. Love the dress!
You look totally adorable Tania! Love the background as well.
very cute! love the combo of colors.
You've done a great job.I like the color of the dress.super stylish outfit.
you look so pretty!
What a great outfit! Totally see the Kendi inspiration. I am having second thoughts about my first outfit today, because of the weather...but you look amazing.
i'm in love with the knee-high socks, boots, and dress look and you pulled it off perfectly. love!! can't wait to see your other remixes!

this outfit is perfection for you! it's kendi-inspired, but i think the coral-pink color makes it totally you. :) i can't wait to see more!
Cute! I love the long socks especially. :)
This is such a great outfit!! I love the echoing of the gray and brown colors on the backdrop of the red and white polka dot dress! And not only is the dress polka dotted, it has ruffles!! :)
Can't wait to see how you remix these items!
Small Time Style
mm that dress you're wearing looks so yummy, i love the frills!
I think we're all inspired by Kendi today, my outfit number one was also a dress and cardigan.
That dress is gorgeous though, I'm almost drooling its so pretty.

You are too lovely for words in these photos, lady!
Love the dress!!! You look lovely. Great color!
Gorgeous look - I love how the belt is perfectly cinched and ties together the whole look!
Lovely background as well!

I'm loving the knee high socks and boots combination! I am excited to try that myself!
Your dress and belted cardi look great together. Those ruffles are brilliant. Love it :)
Love this outfit! The socks are perfect :]
You look great!! Glad you didn't give up on the over the knee socks.
I love the gray of the sweater and socks with the warm colors of the rest! very nice interplay.
This outfit looks fantastic, but I think it will make your legs look longer if the socks did not cut you off mid-knee.
Just Better Together
this outfit is adorable! i also went with knee socks for my first remixing outfit.

Love this outfit! I so have to try that sock thing...
I love your color combination here. Great start to your 30!
lovvve that dress! i also love the socks/boots combo. i'm so excited to see what you come up for the rest of the challenge...
Lovely! The gray cardi looks great paired with your bright dress! And I desperately need some thick socks like that.
I'm going to need all the inspiration I can get, so prepare for me to copy this... I guess it will have to wait until after 30x30 is over because I definitely didn't pick out a gorgeously ruffled dress. Drat!

i love that belt!
Fabolous!!
Really, really cute. And I agree... Hail to the chief!
Leaving the House in THIS?!?!
Cute outfit. One question though: when you wear some of your shorter skirts and dresses, you're not teaching on those days are you?
Love it! I'm totally planning to try the sock thing during this remix too - you guys make it look so adorable!
Love the colour of your dress! The ruffles on the neckline are very sweet :)
Wow, you look great! I wouldn't have thought to pair grey and red with brown accessories, but it looks really nice and sort of fall-themed. Lovely :-)
Awesome way to start the challenge!
I love this look, and I need those boots!
Best of luck with the 30 for 30!
Chic on the Cheap
Lovely! That dress looks insanely comfortable, and I'm a sucker for anything grey.
You are braver than I with the exposed socks. My gut says it's silly and I would never try it, but I see the look and you and it's fab! Rock on.
I love the new photo location!

So adorable! I am loving the whole tall socks with boots this fall. P.s. I am jealous of that spiral stair case.
I love your new location! and the over the knee socks..super cute!

So pretty. I love how all of the colors are matched so well...it's really visually pleasing.
The color and fabric of the dress with the rich brown leather boots and belt are so cozy while also being unexpected. A lovely example of unique fall dressing.
Love the colors in this outfit! I dressed this way too today without even thinking about it, I'm really loving long socks right now.
adorable <3 i love the color of your dress. and yes, why not pay tribute to kendi? :) good luck with the rest of the 30 days!
um, is that a PUBLIC spiral staircase? i <3 spiral staircases...
Love the knee highs + boots! Definitely going to try something like that during the 30 for 30. :)
Red really suits you, Tania. That combination is so pretty but relaxed...perfect!

Okay, totally weird question, but I have to ask. I have a very similar thrifted belt. I love it, but it's SO noisy! It makes weird squishing sounds every time I move. I've had to give up wearing it during the week for fear of disturbing the people working around me (I'm also a graduate student). Is yours the same, or is there something specifically wrong with mine?
i'm way late commenting but i love this remix! awesome tania.
Gotta say, I kinda copied you ;)
