Fashion Friday: 30x30 Remix Recap

I made it! One more thing to cross off my 26 before 27 list! This was definitely a learning experience, but it was a fun and creative challenge. One thing I learned throughout this process was that putting in a little extra effort in getting ready really made me feel better overall. I felt better about myself and more confident in myself. Take an extra 10 or 15 minutes to think through your outfit, add some jewelry and you're ready to go.

I definitely want to do this challenge again when it starts to get nicer outside. Right now I have a strange feeling of freedom when I look in my closet, but at the same time it's overwhelming to have so many choices. Maybe it'd be a good time to clean it out, huh? ;)

I hope you've enjoyed my 30x30 remix journey! Have you participated in this challenge before? What did you learn from it? Feel free to share a link. I'd love to see what you've done!

Fashion Friday: 30x30 Remix - Update 5

I might have spoke too soon last week with finally feeling like I found my way.  These last few days were hard.  I didn't want to repeat anything and still tried to use things evenly.  If I hadn't cared about that it may have been a little easier, who knows.  I guess the point is that I tried things I wouldn't normally try. So here are my last four days of the challenge.  A 30x30 remix recap post is going to be following this shortly.

Day 29: An unexpected remix. Might be a fav.

Fashion Friday: 30x30 Remix - Update 4

I feel like I may have finally found my way through this remix journey.  It's starting to get easier to mix things that maybe I normally wouldn't have.  I feel a little more freedom and creativity when getting dressed.  Shirt X doesn't always have to go with Skirt Y and Cardigan Z.  It's okay to try something new, even if it doesn't turn out exactly like you plan.  I'm still trying to balance using everything equally, because I'm weird....but whatever.  Just a few days left to go!  I'll share the rest of my outfits next week and do a little 30x30 remix recap!

Fashion Friday: 30x30 Remix - Update 3

I wanted to post this last Friday, but I went out of town and forgot my external hard drive that had these pictures on it.  Oh well.  I'm so thankful that I passed the halfway mark!  I may be weird, okay, I am weird, but I have a list of all my pieces and I make a check by each one when I use it.  That way I can easily tell what I've worn a lot and what I haven't so I can try to use it.  I want to make sure I use every item fairly evenly so that I can make the most of it all.  I really like how I did this week.

Fashion Friday: 30x30 Remix - Update 2

I'm done with week 2!!  Pretty much every day this week I wanted to quit and give up.  Because I'd already pretty much used everything and I didn't know what to do next.  I'm thankful my sister was around to say "Just do it!" I had to suck it up and make it work.  When I got past my complaining and actually got dressed I was really happy that I did it!  I felt so much better about myself when I put in that extra effort.  Playing with my new jewelry was pretty fun too!

Fashion Friday: 30x30 Remix - Update 1

I'm officially done with my first week of the 30x30 remix!!  It's been pretty smooth sailing so far.  I've tried not to repeat anything except for cardigans and shoes.  I was surprised on Day 4 when I woke up to snow.  I had a different outfit in mind and had to make some changes because of it.  I think it'll start getting more challenging in the next week.  I think there are two tops and two skirts that I haven't worn yet and will want to work in.  Ready or not....let's do week two!

Fashion Friday: 30x30 Remix

I've been putting this off for months and finally decided to dive in head first. Thanks to Heather for helping me pick stuff out and giving me advice. She also inspired me to participate in Kendi's 30x30 remix. Heather did the remix last year, see HERE, HERE and HERE.

Forgive the not so great pictures. It was challenging enough to pick everything out, I decided to keep it simple with the pictures of my picks.

So in addition to my choices I get free reign of accessories, tights, belts, scarves, etc. to style each outfit. I will probably be doing an update blog post once a week or once every other week with my outfits. I don't want to put a lot of pressure on myself to get pictures up everyday, so I think this will help me keep it simple. There's a chance I won't be doing the 30 outfits in 30 consecutive days because of work. I have to wear a uniform to work and so depending on how long I'm at work for the day, I may or may not change into a remix outfit when I get home. I'm giving myself a little leeway in completing the challenge. I want it to be fun and not feel like something I HAVE to do.

Okay, ready or not....let's remix!
