I have been following the blogger Kendi Everyday for a while now and several other of my favorite blogs have done similar challenges. This is the 30 x 30 challenge. The rules are simple:
- Choose 30 items from your closet
- Make 30 Outfits
- Don't buy ANYTHING clothing related for the entire month
I am choosing November to do this for a lot of reasons, but mainly because I have a HUGE vacation that we are savings for next spring and Christmas is swiftly approaching and I should be saving. So, I will say it again - SAVINGS GOOD! SHOPPING (FOR CLOTHES) BAD! Christmas Shopping ESSENTIAL! Okay, I think I am ready. Of course, like everything else in my life it seems like I have to make things extremely difficult on myself. Challenges that might be a bit difficult for this month and this specific challenge.
- My 32 Birthday! I will have $$$ burning a hole in my pocket.
- Business Trip - Big meeting in Houston for 4 - 5 days.
- Thanksgiving - Black Friday Shopping
I will start this by saying that I have kinda already cheated. I know - Day 1 and I am already cheating. I have left a spot open for something. I'm not sure what will end-up here, but I wanted to give myself some options. I have chosen 28 items from my closet including shoes and I am counting all accessories as "1" my "1" accessories includes 2 scarves, 4 necklaces, 2 belts, 1 pair tights. Let the games begin! I am going to need some serious support on this one - so please feel free to leave encouraging comments or constructive criticism. I realize that every outfit is not going to be amazing, and that's okay. Let's Remix It!
I am thankful for my Daddy! My folks live a few hours away and he called to say that he wanted to take me to lunch on his way through town today. What a perfect treat!
