Kendi of Kendi Everyday is having a 30 for 30 Closet Remix Challenge which I've decided to participate in. The premise simple: take 30 items from your closet, style it into 30 different outfits to wear for 30 days.
STEP 1: Take 30 items from your closet
Well, I kinda cheated on this as half of my 30 items are new. :P
But that's ok coz I think I really deserve a mini shopping spree after the predicament I've "suffered" as documented in my previous post here.
So, here are my 30 items. Well, it's 31 actually!! I don't want to squeeze my brain anymore just deciding which 1 item to remove from the list.
Gosh, I've already cheated twice, and we're just on step 1!
Am I disqualified now?!?!?!
SHEATH DRESSES
I think I'm setting myself up for failure by posting the stock photo of these models! :D
Oh well, moving on...
SKIRTS
BLAZERS, JACKETS, CARDI
B1 - gray Theory blazer
B2 - navy blue Anne Klein suit
B3 - khaki Ann Taylor blazer
*the cardis will be a wildcard pick!
LAYERING TOPS
T1 - gray Ann Taylor satin sleeveless top
S6 - Vivienne Westwood Melissa flats
It's the shoes selection that I was most excited about! So much so that I seriously contemplated on picking just 30 pairs of shoes and nothing else. But then it would be very indecent to show up for work in nothing but a pair of shoes -- that would sure end my career, well my career in the corporate world, at least!! :P But I do love my job, so there, a happy compromise of 6 pairs!
STEP 2: Style 30 different outfits for 30 days
Styling 30 outfits for 30 days is not a problem. Posting those styled outfits here is!
I seriously don't know how in the world would I be able to manage posting an entry everyday for 30 days. The longest posting streak I did so far is probably just 1 whole week and I was just at home staycationing.
If I end up cheating a little bit, please forgive me in advance. Such cheating, which I'll hereby refer to as "creative alternatives" will include but not limited to:
STEP 3: No shopping for 30 days
I did not shop for 64 days prior to this and I consider that one of my major achievements in my adult life. :D
30 days should be E-A-S-Y! But we'll see!
So there, let the remixing begin!

If I end up cheating a little bit, please forgive me in advance. Such cheating, which I'll hereby refer to as "creative alternatives" will include but not limited to:
- Taking pictures of the said outfits not on the day as I wear them -- could be before or after depending on how crazy my work schedule gets.
- A wildcard shoe selection (outside of the list) - because I really love shoes!
- A few wildcard clothing pieces -- perfectly excusable as I'm in a unique position as I take on this challenge: I will be traveling midway through this challenge and I will transition from winter to summer as I travel!
STEP 3: No shopping for 30 days
I did not shop for 64 days prior to this and I consider that one of my major achievements in my adult life. :D
