Wardrobe Challenge- Day 1


Ok, so I was going to blog about losing my job, but didnt. Too depressing, must blog about something fun and exciting. Like my new Wardrobe Challenge!! The husband and I were driving back from Utah, which is awesome thinking time for me, and during this thinking time thought about how my sister had asked me to go through her closet with her and get rid of some stuff. When she had asked me about a specific shirt, I suggested that by the end of this coming summer, if it hasnt been worn to get rid of it, and to set aside all those pieces of clothing that she wasnt sure about as well. Upon thinking further about that suggestion, I realized I should do the same...with a twist. (the sifted through closet of shirts) I just recently went through my closet and got rid of some, but am still struggling with some others that I havent worn in a while. So, were now onto the Challenge-- I went through the closet, pulled out all the shirts I havent worn in a while, hung them on a separate rod, and heres the kicker: I HAVE to wear all those articles of clothing until theyre all gone, NO EXCEPTIONS. If I struggle wearing it, then I get rid of it. If I hate it by the end of the day, I get rid of it.(these are the shirts at task) I am very much looking forward to this Challenge, as it will force me to be more creative with what I have and have fun while doing it. The only problem is, now that I dont have a job I have a harder time motivating myself to get "dressed up". But I have to, even if it is just for my husband and little Doccers whom I both love. :) So heres looking forward to something new to look forward to and starting fresh. I encourage any and all to do the same!
