And So What We Have Learned...

It's been about a week since finishing my 30 for 30, and I'm very happy to be able to access other areas of my closet (namely my favorite moccasins). I'm a little bummed that I didn't wait a month so I could do it in conjunction with Kendi's collective (seriously, it's a long list), but I'm honestly glad to be done.

I'd shopped a lot over winter break, so passing up the clothes was a touch challenging, but not impossible. Doing this project really opened my eyes to how often I re-wear outfits; I think I'm the only one inclined to keep track, and I like re-wearing combination.

So here's what I learned:
-I can make a lot of outfits from only thirty items.
-Some items get much more traffic than others (for example, that gray cardigan I snagged from Heritage 1981 on a whim has probably been the best buy I've ever made; or, the floral-print dress I skeptically picked up on my first thrifting adventure which masqueraded as a shirt and a skirt during January).
-Self-timer pictures are really awkward...
-...but not as awkward as imploring your roommate to take your picture every day.
-I wear a lot of blue.
-Accessories can completely change the look of an outfit, particularly belts and (my favorite) scarves.
-I am not cut out to be a fashion blogger. I'll probably occasionally post something fashion-related, but it's not necessarily my cup of tea.
-The camera I was using was rather horrible. I also learned to adjust pictures using super basic tools like Microsoft Picture Manager.
-January's weather is freakishly bipolar; I used both of my weather wild-card shoes and dealt with an approximate forty degree temperature gap. I'm definitely not complaining though; you won't find 80 degree winter weather just anywhere!

Probably most importantly, I learned that dressing well isn't particularly difficult. Picking out the right shirt, and perhaps the proper accessories can make an outfit completely fabulous.

While I probably won't be remixing again soon, I love that I'm making good on my attempt to dress better. Now that I'm out of remixing, I probably won't be posting quite as regularly, but I have a few post ideas lined up.

Thanks for reading, and happy remixing!
