Fall 30x30 Challenge: Days 25-30

I'm participating in the Fall 30x30 Challenge, where you pick 30 pieces from your wardrobe and mix them up for 30 days of outfits! You can see the 30 pieces I picked here. And, now, we are at the END OF THE MONTH!! YAY!!!

Ok.... time for some honesty.... I spent days 24-30 on a Caribbean cruise and wore absolutely NONE of these boring winter clothes!! LOL! Here's what most of these days looked like:

So what did I learn from this challenge - at least for the days I participated? I could definitely get BY with a WHOLE lot less than I have in my closet. Yes, it's possible. But is it fun? Not really! These pieces starting feeling very repetitive by the middle of the month and OMG!! I can't WAIT to start wearing all of the other goodies that were taunting me all November!! 

Great job everyone!! This was such a fun experience and I look forward to trying it again with all of you sometime soon! :D

Fall 30x30 Challenge

Eek!! Time for a new challenge and this is definitely one that's going to push me out of my comfort zone!!

I'm excited to be participating in the 30x30 Challenge with Aubrey over at Dreaming About Someday and lots of other brave souls! LOL! This is a wardrobe exercise where you pick 30 pieces and remix them for 30 days. I am choosing to include only clothing items in my pieces - accessories, outwear, shoes and jewelry are anything goes!

One of the biggest things for me to consider when picking my pieces is specific activities scheduled throughout the month. I am a SAHM in Louisville, KY, and we are out and about all the time doing lots of things that require specific clothes. This month I have a kiddo competing at an all-star dance event (requires mom fan clothes) and the other kiddo has an all-star cheer competition (requires different mom fan clothes). We also have 5 or 6 University of Louisville football/basketball games, which require some combo of red, black and spirit wear. Plus, the weather here is already dreary, so I need lots of cozy things and layering options!

I'm more than a little bit of a clotheshorse (and shoe horse, and accessory horse... LOL). Here are a couple of quick snaps in my closet to show you how hard it is for me to edit! Haha

When I first started pulling items, I thought, WOW, 30 is a LOT, this is going to be a piece of cake! When I hung them all in a cleared out specific bar in my closet? Um... not so much! They look sad and I'm more than a little scared about my limited options!! LOL!

I made an effort to include some things that still have tags on them. I'm thinking that becoming bored with my limited options will be a great motivator to wear something new! LOL! Here's to a great month of mixing it up!! :D
