I’m not one for physical challenges (I am the girl, after all, who went to one Bar Method Class and then couldn’t move for two weeks — and never returned) and I’m not one for mental challenges either (those brain teasers that interviewers like to give — le yawn! — there’s a reason I work for myself people!), but a wardrobe challenge… that sounds right up my alley (or should I say my Rodeo Drive? Eeew no, alley). When I saw writer and blogger extraordinaire Felicia Sullivan post the 15:30 Project (read all about it here), I immediately wanted to participate. Choose 15 items to wear over the next 30 days. How hard could that be? Right? I told Huzzy Pie… His reaction? Why on earth would you want to do that when you just spent the last year living out of one carry-on suitcase? Touche. Logic aside, the reason I wanted to participate is because despite suddenly having gained access to hundreds of pieces of clothing (after a full year, we finally got our belongings out of storage), I keep wearing the same three things. Also, despite having 60 dresses (I counted as I was unpacking – I’m not Rainman or anything — see above)), I still felt the need to buy a brand new dress (see exhibit pink above). Simply put, I need to mix it up. Utilize what I have. Get back to my creative roots. And there’s no better time to start than the unofficial beginning of fall, New York Fashion Week Labor Day.
So I set forth and selected my 15 items (see the rules here). As seen in the pictures above, I obviously have a penchant for black and white and enjoy a pop of pink. I also have a distinct leaning towards voluminous tops. I’m a few days behind (technically the challenge began on September 1st , but let’s hope there’s something to that being fashionably late thing). I’ll be posting photos of my outfits along the way and hope that you’ll participate too! If you’re a blogger (or start a blog to participate), please comment below and I’ll link to you and check out your progress). Felicia will also be doing the same… Let the games begin!
