A New Challenge.


Dress-Gap, Sweater-Old Navy, Shoes-H&M, Necklace-JCrew Outlet








I was going through my closet this weekend and I was so overwhelmed by the sheer volume of it.
Not gonna lie guys.
I have a lot of clothes.
I feel like I used to be good at getting alot of outfits out of a smallish amount of clothes because I could remix things well.
But lately, I think I have gotten so wrapped up in the "newness" of clothes and even maybe a little the brand name of it.
So. I was going to do another 30 for 30 but I like the idea of using all of my clothes.
So I am going to do a shopping ban.
For the month of June.
But starting Monday June 4.
To help myself out a little I am going to try to take a picture of my outfit everyday.
The good.
The bad.
And the repeat.

If anyone wants to join along, I would love it!
You can link up in the comments at any time!!

I think this is gonna be good.
I know Travis and our check book are gonna love it!

Here's to remixing!!

  3. I love that gorgeous blue color of your maxi skirt!

    I've been shopping my closet A LOT more although I still get the urge to go shopping for something new! I think it's awesome that you're going on the shopping ban :)

  6. Love the stripes with the maxi skirt! You look adorable! And I'm totally the same, I get so wrapped up in the new clothes that I forget about the rest... I like your June shopping ban idea - BUT it's my birthday month, so that would be pretty much impossible for me! Heehee! But I will definitely cheer you on from the sidelines! :)

  9. I know exactly how you feel. I was thinking the same sort of things - which was why I decided to do a 30x 30 challenge! I'm still going, and am really starting to appreciate my closet; especially all the things not in my 30 that I want to be wearing haha! :)

  10. This is such a great idea. I always feel the same way. Looking forward to following along and doing my best not to shop as well...

  11. I love this 'fit. The blue with the stripes is awesome. I too have the same problem of being in love with the newness of clothes. Because of my little 'problem' I now have clothes strew all across my room, making it even harder for me to figure out what to wear on any given day!

  12. I also imposed a shopping ban on myself for the month of June (just recently posted about it too!) because of how much I had been buying instead of focusing on what I have. I considered a 30x30 too but didn't do it because right now I'm more interested in appreciating all of the things I have - same thought as you had! Love that you're doing it too, keep us updated with how yours is going! :)
