30 for 30

I found a really cute fashion blog a few months ago called Kendi Everyday. Usually I steer clear of fashion blogs because they usually don't fit my style, but this one is spot on! 

Here are some of my favorites outfits:

One thing that kept me reading this blog was the project Kendi created called "30 for 30". You pick 30 pieces of clothing (including shoes and coats, but not accessories) and remix them into 30 outfits for 30 days. Also, you can't shop for those 30 days. The idea behind this is learn how to create a working wardrobe and how to reinvent what you already have instead of looking in a stocked closet and thinking "I have nothing to wear."

Why am I telling you about this?

Cause I'm takin' on the challenge! 

Starting... tomorrow!!!

I've picked out my 30 items and I've packed away all my other clothes to eliminate temptation. Honestly, this is going to take a lot of will power for me because I'm so indecisive when I try on clothes so being limited only to 30 items will be tough. I'm going to take pictures everyday (hopefully) to show you how I'm doing and so I can try to keep up with what I've worn so I don't duplicate an outfit. Hopefully by the end of this experiment I'll have a new found appreciation for what I have and also come away with some fun outfit ideas.

Here are my 30 items:

Bottoms: 4

Dark skinny jeans 

Dark bootcut jeans

Dark gray trousers

Black pencil skirt 

Dress: 1

Black w/ pleats 

Coats: 3

Black pea coat

Brown pea coat 

Gray rain jacket 

Undershirts: 3

Black tanktop 

White tanktop 

Red v-neck 

Shirts: 6

Gray longsleeve tshirt 

Black longsleeve tshirt 

White longsleeve tshirt 

Navy and red longsleeve tshirt 

Pink ruffle blouse

Plum shortsleeve blouse

Cardigans: 4

Gray w/ collar

Black button-up

Cream (extra long)

Sweaters: 3

Gray cowl neck

Black cowl neck

Black turtleneck

Shoes: 6

Brown riding boots

Brown ankle boots

Gray knee-high boots

Black pumps

Leopard flats

On paper it looks like a lot, but when I look in my closet I really see where the challenge is. I can, however, wear whatever accessories I want (Thank goodness!!!) so hopefully I won't look too simple/boring with my basics. I took pics of all the items so I'll be posting those soon.

I'd love to share this experience with someone and to know I'm not the only one struggling with ideas so if you want to take on the challenge, let me know!

See you tomorrow with outfit #1!
