Living in Southern California, it is easy to become a mass consumer, particularly in the image arena. Like most 26 year old career gals, my budget it tight. Though my husband loves for me to pamper myself, I need to learn how to make the most of my muchness [things I already own]. I met Minh Le @ The Style Lounge in Carlsbad through my sister-in-law. Minh is amazing with hair, and the best dresser I know. When I found out she does Wardrobe Overhauls, I jumped at the chance, though I didn't know what that meant. After three weeks of purging my closet, having a body assessment done and doing my best to be a good student, I've graduated. Now I face the real world with the temptation to buy and summoning the willpower to not just be content with what I have but be excited about the years, tears, and monies I've put into my wardrobe.
My first project is 59 Days of Style. The goals are simple:
1. Don't buy any clothing or shoes
2. Don't wear the same outfit twice
That means one item of clothing needs to have never been worn with the collection of the others. The only exceptions are if I find the items on my current shopping list. I may buy any of the following items once:
1. Gladiator sandals
2. Opaque black leggings
3. Tom's sneakers
4. A romper, if Jesus provides a nice fitting one
My promise to you is that I will post a photo of every outfit I wear for 59 days.
