First goal for August....don't buy any more fall or winter clothes! (Exempted from this is footwear.)

For my challenge, I went back to last summer's challenge to myself, what I called the outfit project.

I selected a bunch of pieces that I felt would be good to wear during August (the month of hot!). I started with a mix of tops and bottoms and started making outfits. I took one section of my closet and hung all of the outfits there; I have close to 20 or almost enough to not repeat work day outfits if I don't want to. I used 33 different wardrobe items (not intentionally!) plus 3 scarves. Footwear and bags are whatever I feel like wearing when I choose that day's outfit. Typically, I seem to wear about 10 pairs of shoes and use 12-15 different bags in a month.

The challenge to myself now is to wear these outfits but to not force anything...each day I want to choose what feels right, what makes me happy, what I love. If that means repeating one outfit 3 times while not wearing another at all, that's ok. I know that I am very organized and a planner, but I also want to allow my heart to have a say in what I wear. If I don't end up wearing certain items. I do want to try to determine why- fit, feel, style, or just a mood.
