Wrap up and final numbers. Day 29 and 30 in thread below.

Overall, I was very happy with how this challenge went. I found that my transition (weight loss) January wardrobe had a few versatile silhouettes. I enjoyed each combination and in the cold temperatures my two pairs of jeans were work horses. Most items got worn multiple times. I was not surprised that my sleeveless shells were worn infrequently given the temperatures. I had fun switching out the shoes and necklaces. I did not mind repeating clothing combinations. I am starting to plan my wardrobe and have a shopping trip scheduled in mid-February, but will continue with a tight wardrobe until my weight stabilizes and due to the budgetary challenges of replacing my entire wardrobe. Freshness will come naturally through replacing items that are too big. Because the fit is changing frequently, I couldn't just grab items and assume it would work, which meant that I had to try on outfits the night before days when I showered at my gym. On more typical mornings, I found that I rarely wore the outfit that I had set aside -- clearly an emotional component to that day's choice.

Counting clothes and shoes, but not necklaces or scarves, and allowing one substitution of pants due to fit mid challenge, I used 26 items. 5 items are too large and moved to donation pile -- 1 sheath dress I had planned to use, but was not included because the weather was too cold in the beginning of the challenge.
