Fall 2012 30X30: lived & learned

Woo to the hoo, I have completed my 2nd 30X30 Remix Challenge (!!!!)

(just tuning in and don't know what a 30X30 is? Check out the deets here)

I must say, my recent Fall Remix was harder than my first one ever last Spring (round up here)... but just like last time, I enjoyed getting the most out of several key pieces in my wardrobe, & finding new ways to were old items. But this time, I especially focused on adding more color to my Fall outfits (did I succeed?)

5 more things my Fall 30X30 Remix taught me:

{1} Somethings are very remixable, while others zap all my creative juices 

(HIGH remix index (at 5): plaid shirt, LOW remix index (at 2): ribbed pink sweater)

{2} I really like looking at all of the outfits in the collage I made above - each outfit has a key piece in common with the picture before & after it... 

easy way for me to see how I prefer to wear items in my closet (i.e. skirts + belts, khakis + navy)

{3} Taking 30 outfit photos in 30 days is agresssssive (last time I spaced out my 30X30 over 5ish weeks, but this time I was determined to complete it during the 30 days in the month of November) - so I might have to lay low on the outfit photos for a couple of days

{4} Nashville weather in November can be highly unpredictable - thank goodness for putting in some short sleeve shirts, my (faux) leather jacket, & light weight pants, in addition to pulling out my tights & cold weather accessories when needed.

{5} A little creativity makes my closet go the extra mile - pencil skirts as a mini, dresses as skirts, & belts always are my go to way to add spice to a mundane outfit

Phew, there it is! I hope you liked tuning in to my challenge over the past 30 days.
