After doing laundry with this fine lady last night (during which time I left a bag of laundry and had to go back at 10:30 pm to retrieve it) I finalized the only clothes I will be wearing over the next 30 days with the exception of pajamas, underwear and the like!
Want to take a peek?
Pants
From left to right: JCPenney's, American Eagle (one of the few places where the length of jeans actually fit me properly), Kohl's, JCPenney's, New York & Co.
Skirts
From left to right: thrifted, NY&C, thrifted, Forever 21
Cardigans
From left to right: Old Navy, NY&C, NY&C, NY&C, Old Navy, NY&C--can you see a pattern here?
Dresses
From left to right: H&M and NY&C
Leggings
From left: JcPenney's and Walmart (whomp whomp--it's my only article of clothing I have bought from Walmart and was part of this last minute Halloween costume)
Long sleeve shirts
From left to right: Forever 21, Forever 21, NY&C, unknown (gift from my mom), Forever 21
Camisoles
From left to right: Old Navy, Sidecca (store in Arcadia Mall), NY&C, Sidecca, Anthropologie, NY&C
I've noticed a few trends worth discussing.
One, I do the majority of my shopping at NY&C, Old Navy and Forever 21 and should probably buy stock in these companies.
Two, until this past weekend, I haven't bought dress pants since college when a Kohl's and JCPenney's were right down the street from my job, which made it easy to find dress pants when I needed them.
Three, I own a lot of cardigans--there were four or five that didn't make the cut!
Four, I own something from Walmart. I had forgotten that this purchase had occurred.
Five, Woods enjoyed the photo shot just as much, if not more, than I did!
Day two, here I come!
Update: I am linking this to tickled.'s Did I Do That {Thursday} since I left a load of laundry at the laundry mat and didn't realize it for hours later! Oops!

I love both of the dresses. I can wait to see how you mix and match! Silly kitty :o)
ReplyDeleteI am so impressed you're doing this challenge! I don't know if I could handle it ... although have a limited # of items to choose from every morning might actually cut down on the number of clothes crisis' I have ;). Excited to see how you mix and match!
ReplyDeleteAm I seeing right that you're only wearing one pair of jeans for a month? I mean, obviously you can wash them but oh man, I'd be super sick of them by the end! haha
ReplyDeleteI love how your cat picked the BLACK ones to lie on! My orange tabbly does the exact same thing!
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to seeing how you mix and match. I bet you'll find some wonderful new combinations, that you wouldn't have found otherwise.
ReplyDelete@ Ashly: He was a big "help" during this whole process.
ReplyDelete@ Jenn: So far so good. I'm hoping that less options means less time trying to figure out what to wear too!
@ Every Little Thing: I have to wear business casual clothes to work Monday-Thursday so my pant choices were limited--I'm hoping I don't get sick of them by the end too :)
@ LesleyRH: He has a knack for things like that...there is a reason we bought a tan slipcover for our couch!
@ Victoria: Here's hoping! Thanks for stopping by :)
I think I'd be scared to do this challenge...eeks! Love the photo of your kitty! My cats always get in the way of my cleaning ;) this post looks like a page in Lucky though, I must admit!
ReplyDeleteHope you'll stop by--and maybe even do your own Friday's Fancies tomorrow :) xoxo {av}
I keep seeing this challenge around and love it. If I wasn't pregnant with a limited amount of maternity clothes, I would so do it too. Good luck!

@ {av}: I love your Friday Fancies and definitely will participate in the future--knowing I can only wear the clothes pictured above and I'm not allowed to buy anything makes looking at other clothes difficult :) I bet by next Friday I'll be dying to put together a new outfit, even if it's just virtually!
ReplyDelete@ Tanya: Thanks for stopping by my blog and congratulations on the little bambino! How exciting :)
