30 for 30!! :)

SO I found this the today while clicking on person's blog and then clicking on another. I think I want to try it but I do have a coupon to save $20 off my next $40 purchase at Rue 21 so I just may have to go use that but this looks like it could be fun and maybe I will be able to look at my closet and not think "I have nothing to wear today" becasue my walk-in closet is pack ful!! :) ha ha. I also love to take pics so I will take pictures of my creations!! :) Hope you all enjoy!!
In December 2009 I started a style blog to document my daily style journey. By April 2010, I’d run out of funds and had lost the original intent of my blog: to remix the contents of my closet. I introduced the idea of remixing what was in my closet by the idea of the 30 for 30 Remix Challenge. "30 for 30" simply meant that I would take 30 items and remix only those items into 30, (hopefully) stylish outfits. The whole point of the remix is to show myself and readers that with a little bit of creativity, you can make what you have work for you. Interested in joining in? If you don’t have 30 items in your closet, no problem. The best part of remixing is working with what you’ve got. If you’ve got it, let’s remix it. If you have more than 30 items, pick the items that make sense for this remix. This is a challenge to help you learn to shop your closet and to shop smartly. By being well-versed in what you already have, you will become a better shopper.Why in the world would I add insult to injury, you ask? Because of two reasons: 1) so you'll learn to shop your own closet and 2) so you'll appreciate it. So many times I've run out and bought a new dress for one event or I bought something because I felt lacking and not what was in my closet. Obviously, this is not the best solution to a problem. I have found that when I limit myself with shopping, with 30 items, I become so much more aware of what I have versus what I need. By the end of the 30 days, I am ready to shop, but with new eyes of what I really need.This challenge can be taken at any time. I tend to take on the 30 for 30 challenges in the middle of a season, just when my closet starts to look boring.
