Here is the first draft of my list => 33 items. Accessories put me over the top. I need a belt to wear with my white jeans or they fall down. I need earrings or I have issues with the holes. I could never go a full 30 days without wearing earrings. I certainly want to carry my tote.
I can get it down to 31 items by deleting the Banana Republic Ryan-Fit Pinstripe Slim-Straight Pant and the Madewell Drapey Oversized Boyshirt in Pure White.
I'll need to delete one more item to reach the desired 30 items.
Just one. It can't be shoes. I see a need for all four pairs. I certainly need asics tennis.
I finally decided on the second pair of earrings. I have a pair of pearl earrings that I can easily wear the next 30 days. They were my first pair of "real" jewelry. I love them as much today as I did when I bought them.
I am also going to delete the Ann Taylor Short Sleeve Silk Blouse in Black, Grey, and Cream Top. It does not coordinate sufficiently well with the bottoms I selected to warrant a place in this challenge. That leaves 29 items. I have opted to keep the 30th slot open. I will fill that opening during the challenge should I see a glaring hole.
It is interesting to me to see what made the list and what did not. I selected the items that I thought would serve me best during the next 30 days. What strikes me the most are the items that did not get included: Vionic with Orthaheel Bella II Women's Sandal in Pewter. I thought these would be a work horse. I have worn them three times since purchase. I just can't seem to make them work. FAIL.
I will finalize this list over the course of the weekend.
As per Joy, we start on Monday.

30 OPEN SLOT
Because I'll be wearing the same clothing over and over again, I'll be using makeup/perfume/hair styling to a higher degree. It will be hot and I don't wear much makeup during the summer months, but this year I will make it a point to wear more lipstick/nail polish. I'll see if I can add interest by changing up my hair style as well.
