For the past 30 days, 30 items of my clothing have been in constant rotation, as has my washing machine. I have just completed Jo from iCurvyWorld‘s Shop What You Got challenge, wearing 30 items, 30 different ways.
The thing I really loved about this challenge was that it took what has been an abstract idea in my life – the capsule wardrobe – and made it a reality. Read more
This month I have committed to wearing only 30 items, 30 different ways as part of Jo at iCurvy’s Shop What You Got challenge. The idea being that reducing my wardrobe to a capsule collection should a) make it easier to get dressed in the morning and b) prove to myself that I really don’t need any more clothes – or most of the ones I already own for that matter.
It’s also an exercise in creativity once the usual suspects have done their rotation and I need to mix and match in new ways.
Every year Jo from iCurvyWorld hosts Shop What You Got – an online fashion challenge. The idea is you edit your wardrobe down to 30 pieces (including shoes) and only wear those pieces for a month, creating a different outfit each day.
I did it last year and loved the idea of making my clothes work a bit harder as well as coming up with new combinations. Last year I cheated and didn’t include shoes in my total. This year, I am going hardcore and not only including shoes, but I am not even going to declare my Melbourne Cup dress as an exception. I will declare two pairs of dress shoes as exceptions though (a girl has her limits.)
