Clothing Challenge Day One
Today is day one of my six items or less clothing challenge, and I did not anticipate how hard it would be select six items of clothing I would want to wear for the next month. I have been thinking about what items I would select for weeks, but when it came time to make the final decision, I was nearly paralyzed by indecision. As Matt and I looked over our clothes, I kept lamenting that I hadn’t started a seven or eight items or less clothing challenge. If I could just add one or two more pieces, I would be golden. But I guess that is why this is a challenge.
So after much deliberation and outfit-trying-on, I have selected 6 pieces I think will work well for the next month and I will feel good wearing:
Dark wash skinny jeans by Levis:
Dark plum v-neck wool sweater from Ann Taylor Loft:
Teal 4-button cardigan from Ann Taylor Loft:
White long-sleeve peasant shirt from Eddie Baurer:
Purple and Blue striped button-up shirt from Target:
Simple black wrap dress from Target:
As I selected my clothes, I tried to pick pieces that were going to hold up to repeated wear and gave me the option to create lots of combinations. It will be fun to see how long I can go without repeating the exact same outfit.
Here is my day one look. You can see all of my outfits in my Facebook Photo Album.
