30 for 30: Day 9




My Mom sent me this article today on people curbing their urge to buy clothes by limiting themselves to 6 pieces of clothing for a month which is considerably more stringent than the 30 for 30 challenge I'm participating in. I guess I could restrict myself to 6 items of clothing for a month, but I really wouldn't want to unless I was backpacking to one of my dream travel destinations and didn't want to carry too much stuff for the duration of the trip. Come to think of it, spending a solid month traveling sounds fun! I'd definitely sacrifice clothing variety to take a trip to somewhere like Paris, Cape Town, Toronto, Costa Rica or one of the other numerous places on my travel wish list. I think I'll add it to my 'bucket' list of things to do before I turn 30 in a few years...

Shirt: Forever 21
Skirt: H&M
Shoes: Target
Belt: Nordstrom (BP Junior's)

Do you think you could limit yourself to 6 clothing items for a month for any reason?

    Is that like only shop for 6 pieces every month? LOL! As always, your outfit combination rocks.

    @ Abigail NY Thanks for stopping by and commenting! I'll follow your blog as well!

    @Olusola Thanks for stopping by! That 6 item challenge seems tough, doesn't it? According to the article you're limited to 6 clothing items not including shoes and accessories.
