Due to uncertainties with the government shutdown, I am implementing upon myself a shopping ban for the foreseeable future. To make this ban less depressing more interesting, I am doing a 30x30 remix! Here are the pieces I plan on using:
 |
| 1. JC Penney | 2., 3. Old Navy | 4. - 7. Target | 8., 9. Gap | 10. Kohl's |
 |
| 11., 12. Post Exchange | 13. thrifted | 14., 16. Target | 15. Old Navy |
 |
| 17. Old Navy | 18., 19. thrifted | 20. TJ Maxx | 21., 23. Target | 22. JC Penney |
 |
| 24. Kohl's | 25. JustFab | 26. WalMart | 27. - 29. Target |
And I somehow managed to forget to include my Target striped dress in the pictures, but that's piece #30. I am including shoes in the 30 items, but not accessories.
I know most of these pieces are pieces you've already seen on this blog, many of them more than once. I can promise you one thing: I will not repeat outfits you've already seen. Keep in mind the goals in my closet are: 1) remixability, 2) sensibility as it applies to my lifestyle and 3) looking put together. Those are the three things you can expect from this remix. Notice that "ground-breaking" was not one of the things, so I'm sorry if the outfits for the next few weeks aren't overly interesting. I'll give it my best effort, though!
You'll also notice that I included my grey skinny jeans in the remix. Several of you convinced me that I needed to give them another chance, so another chance they shall have!
I hope you'll bear with me through this, but this is truly the ultimate test of how remixable my wardrobe is and hopefully I can discover more holes along the way. I will still be posting recipes and will post a few outfits per outfit post. I may not get to 30 total outfits, depending on how long this goes on, but that is my goal. Wish me luck!
Way to take on the challenge (and with the grey skinnies, too)! I can't wait to see what you come up with.
ReplyDeleteI love this challenge; it is always amazing to see how little clothes we really need. Did I just say that? :D --Bec
ReplyDeleteThanks! Hopefully I can figure out ways to make them work!
ReplyDeleteShhh... don't tell our husbands! Lol
ReplyDeleteGreat idea. I actually thought of doing it myself but am too timid to limit my closet at the moment. Can't wait to see what you've put together- I see a good mix of fun and staples!

YAY! This is going to be great! I love seeing how REAL women wear real clothes from limited closets in NORMAL life! Haha! And guess what? I wore my gray skinnies today, in your honor. Hehehehe. Wow. I don't get out much.
ReplyDeleteHave i even MENTIONED how excited I am for you???
ReplyDeleteThanks, Nina! I'm excited to play with them!
ReplyDeleteHaha aww, that's so sweet! Thank you, hopefully this will be worth your time!

Thanks! I'm only a couple days in so of course it's been easy so far, I'll let you know how it's going when we get closer to the end! haha
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great idea - I tend to organize my closet into "capsules" and dress from the same few items every so often, just to get excited about my closet again, determine whether pieces I have should be kept or donated, save money, etc. Can't wait to see how this all pans out for you!!
