so about that 30 for 30...

The 30 days have been over for a LONG time, and I was terrible at documenting it, but I swear I did it. In fact, I actually ended up wearing the 30 items for about 50 days. It came time to pack stuff to go home for Christmas and rather than pick out clothes to take I just packed my 30 things. Easy. But needless to say I am way ready to wear the other things in my closet now. Anyways, while I was home I had myself a little photo shoot with some of the outfits I've worn over the last two months. It's not 30 looks, but it's all that I'm doing now that I'm back in Utah and have to look for a job/research post grad stuff/unpack all of my stuff.

 Though I was terrible at keeping up with the pictures, doing this challenge was really insightful and I'd be interested in trying it again. Here are some of the things I learned:

1. I need to wear heels more. I can't tell you how many outfits I wore that I felt short and stumpy in and would have been so much more flattering with heels.

2. I don't wear jewelry that often. I think I'd like to wear it more?

3. Taking pictures of yourself will ALWAYS be terribly awkward. You will ALWAYS feel like a fool and pray that no one is watching.

4. I am missing some basics in my closet. Like black heels and button up shirts. This has been helpful because the next time I go shopping I have a list of things I know I could really use. I really would like to become a smarter shopper.

5. It's much easier to pick out what to wear when you have less in your closet.

6. It's time to let some items go. Likewise, some things were just bad purchases.

7. There are ways to wear some items of clothing that I had never thought about.

8. I need a haircut.
