30 for 30 maternity wear challenge

I am now in my 7th month of pregnancy, need my hair coloured and need a pick me up. Kendi over at http://kendieveryday.blogspot.com/  runs these 30 outfits, 30 items for 30 days challenges, and I thought, why not? I could use some motivation in my final weeks of pregnancy and showering has fallen by the wayside, so why not get up dressed and semi-creative everyday? Now, the challenge may be to fit into all of my items in my 8th month, at which point I will admit defeat, and go back to my pink terry PJ’s (they are wonderful, trust me). But for the first half of this challenge, I hope to feel inspired and maybe even cute (shock horror!).
Ok, I have to find 30 items that fit I can squeeze into. The challenge starts Sunday- wish me luck!









Ok so… what is the 30 for 30? 

The 30 for 30 is something I came up with in April to help me learn my way through my closet by remixing my clothes. So here is the basic premise, I take 30 items from my closet (shoes included) and mix them into 30 different outfits over about a month period. 

So you want to try it out? Good for you. Here is how to do it.

1. Pick out 30 items from your closet. Shoes are included in the count, coats and accessories (i.e. tights,  jewelry, hats, gloves, and so on are not.) I won’t use a coat yet here in Texas, but you might in say Chicago so I don’t want to penalize you for Mother Nature’s wily ways.

2. Remix the 30 items into 30 or more outfits.

And that’s it! Ok — not totally.

3. No shopping for 30 days. 

Eek! Why in the world would I add insult to injury? Well so that you’ll learn to work with what you’ve got and you’ll learn to appreciate it. Learning to shop your own closet will in turn help you learn to shop outside of your closet. When you have to get creative with your wardrobe you discover other ways to wear a shirt or skirt, that you might not have thought of. Or you might just discover that you really like a certain type of skirt or that you gravitate towards a certain type of jacket, etc.

So what if you don’t have 30 items? Then this challenge is perfect for you. It’s about working with what you’ve got. I am a style blogger, an overabundance of clothing is a given. So don’t worry about that, maybe for you it’s a 15 for 15 or 20 for 20. It doesn’t matter what you start with, it matters what you can make out of it. 
Are you in? If so, email me and let me know by Friday and post your 30 for 30 items by Sunday. Let the remixing begin!
