My last and final Lifted Her Look post! I intended to get this up before our holiday travel but that didn’t happen so here we are. Let’s jump right in with my final 8 days of the challenge.
Here was my favorite look out of the bunch:
Day 23
First up, a look inspired by Michelle Quinn. I love the pattern mixing here and had been looking for an excuse to wear my striped turtleneck.

Here’s my version:
My jeans were a great H&M red tag find. They are similar to this pair and also a lot like this pair.
My striped turtleneck was a find from Gap Outlet years ago. It’s very similar to this one from Target.
The scarf is actually a men’s scarf from Old Navy. I bought it for N for our Christmas card photos. It’s still available here.
Day 24
I was really wanting to wear my rust colored sweater from Old Navy. This color was super outside of my comfort zone because it’s almost orange and I hate the color orange. I decided it would go well with enough of my clothes that I took the risk. I’m so glad I did because I love this sweater and kind of want it in more colors.
This look was inspired by Loren from Wear and When.

Here’s my version:
My sweater is the cozy crewneck from Old Navy. It comes in lots of colors.
Jeans are Levi’s 311 Slimming Skinny Jeans which I got off of Poshmark. I’m completely in love with them! After I did my Levi’s try-on I was convinced the 311 were perfect. I sent all of the jeans back via Amazon Wardrobe and wound up finding this pair on Poshmark for $20. You can find them new here.
Booties are BP from Nordstrom. These are the most comfortable winter shoe I’ve ever worn. I walk miles in them every time I wear them and they’ve never given me a single blister or problem.
Day 25
I saw this look from Lauren of Looking Good Mama and totally forgot that I owned dark red pants like this. Since I basically live in jeans these days, it was fun to mix it up with some fun pants.

Here’s my version:
This sweater was a recent find at Plato’s Closet. I totally recommend checking them out if you have one in your area. They can be a little “young” but have some great basic sweaters and good brands of jeans.
Pants are several years old via Loft. They still sell the same ones here.
Shoes are Kristin Cavallari. Unfortunately this color is no longer available and I’m pretty sure Chinese Laundry is phasing out her styles now that they have parted ways. I found two great, afordable alternatives from DSW – these are $39.99 and very similar and these are super similar with a little gold detailing added (which I love) and are $59.99.
Day 26
When I saw this look from Katy at Living My Best Style, I knew right away that I had to recreate it because 1. I had all of the pieces to recreate it and 2. Because I never ever would have thought to layer chambray like this!

Here’s my version:
Thermal henley is this one from Abercrombie. It is so high quality and the white is not opaque at all. I almost want to get it in more colors, that’s how much I love it.
Chambray is old via Banana Republic Outlet but is super similar to this one from Old Navy.
Jeans are Free People that I got on Poshmark. I almost bought this similar pair from Old Navy (because that’s how much I love black denim) but decided I didn’t need two pairs.
Sweater is Nordstrom from last year. You could achieve a similar look with this one.
Shoes are Kristin Cavallari, as mentioned above. Here is an alternative and here is another alternative. Both are under $60.
Day 27
I found this cute, wintery sweater at Plato’s Closet for $7 a while back. I hadn’t worn it much and when I saw this look by Latisha Springer, I knew it would be perfect to recreate.

Here’s my version:
Sweater is from Forever 21 via Plato’s Closet.
Hat is Abercrombie and this color is no longer available but here is an almost exact dupe from Amazon prime. It comes in nearly every color imaginable including a similar cream to this one.
Jeans are Levi’s 311 Slimming Skinny Jean. Again, these were a Poshmark find but you can find them here.
Booties are BP by Nordstrom.
Day 28
I knew I wouldn’t be leaving the house this day and it was rainy and cold. I decided to do a put-together loungewear look after I saw Courtney Shields pair a sweater with her joggers. I didn’t usually wear a sweater with joggers (I usually do a sweatshirt) but I liked how I felt more together even though I was super comfy.

And here’s my version:
Sweater is a great steal I found at Nordstrom Rack – $9.97! It’s sold out online. I would not have paid more than $10 for it because this sucker snagged the first day I wore it and I don’t even know how. I could return it (because Nordstrom has a great return policy) but I love it so much and was able to pull the snag through.
Joggers are Aerie that I got from Plato’s Closet. I love them so much and am convinced Aerie makes the best loungewear (and underwear, for that matter). This pair is similar.
Slippers are old and from Gap. These are similar and $18 from Amazon Prime.
Day 29
This look was one of my favorites of the whole month! Probably because I love this shirt so much. I love this outfit so much that I’m wearing it again as I type this. I saw this via one of my all time faves Lee Anne Benjamin.

Here’s my version:
This button front top is from Socialite from Nordstrom. I got it at Nordstrom Rack for $9.97. They released a new version of it that is still available at Nordstrom here.
Jeans are my Levi’s Wedgie jeans. I love them.
Booties were on super sale via Sole Society and are no longer available in many sizes (but if you’re a size 11, they’re only $49!).
Day 30
WOOT WOOT last day! Liz is a recent find and is a master of the mirror selfie. I loved this simple look from her.

Here’s my version:
My sweater was an H&M black friday find for $10. It’s still available for $35 from H&M. It does run a bit large. I’m wearing an XS here, and I usually wear a S in H&M.
Jeans are also H&M and are an old pair. If I were to buy a pair of destroyed black denim today, I’d buy this pair from Old Navy. I saw them on a friend recently and they looked great. Don’t forget to use ebates when shopping at Old Navy or Gap. They almost always have 8% or more cash back!
Booties were a fantastic find from Express. They are $59 and look sooo much more expensive than they are. I’m so glad I bought them.
I Did It!
And that’s it, friends! I did it! Not quite in 30 days flat but I did 30 days in a probably about 40 days. No repeated outfits and I got out of my comfort zone many many times. I’m so glad I did this challenge.
Later this week I’ll be sharing what I learned from the Lifted Her Look challenge and you guys, it was so much – about style, Instagram, and myself. Can’t wait to share! Thank you so much for following along!
