I have my six, and let me just say I did not make this challenge easy on myself (I'll try and post pictures of the six tonight - but seeing as it's Friday and there's wine waiting at home odds aren't really great).
Most people seem to stick with neutrals. Black tee. White tank. This is genius. I wish I had had that realization before going and picking a striped button-down and a floral print for tops. I mean really? Clearly my thought light bulb has burnt out and needs to be replaced. What better way to stand out and make it apparent I'm only cycling through 3 different tops for the next 30 days than by picking prints!
But that's okay. I am determined to own this. The first three days I pretty much wore my items without much accessorizing. Turns out laziness wins always.
Almost. But then I got really jazzy and snazzy and added...BELTS! Round my middle. I know! Outfit roller coaster ride! Who knows what crazy turn, flip, spin or loop-de-lou is coming next?? Full speed ahead!
About the most creative thing I've done can't actually be seen by anyone else. That lead in is really suggestive, and really isn't going to deliver. I'm still super excited about it, though. Ready? I fixed my boots!
My brown, not-even-remotely-leather boots were so worn inside that metal had become exposed near the heel. One day out on the town and it tore through my new pair of socks (side note: it is apparent I live in the "Red Sox Nation" as I actually just spelt "socks" as "sox." Oh, if my high school English teacher could see me now!).
So, creative as I am, I McGyvered a paper towel, cardboard, and some duct tape to solve my problem! I am really quite impressed with myself. I hadn't been able to wear them for a month, but this six items challenge had me desperate enough to fix them within three days! And I did it! For FREE!
Duct tape really can fix anything. It probably can't stop this itch I have already developed to wear different clothes. I'll hydrocortisone the crap out of it with my strong will to succeed!
And hey, after 20 days of extremely limited choices, and a closet full of pent-up frustration, I will probably be in the right frame of mind to forcibly make duct tape the answer.
Ouch!
I'm pretty sure I have enough crazy to pull this off, even if I'd have trouble later, you know...pulling it off.
