Who’s Up for a Challenge? Say…10 for 30?

There is this whole movement taking shape of people who are getting rid of or cutting back on the amount of clothes that they own in the name of moving away from our American given right of over-consumption.

I was reading this NY Times article which highlighted the web challenge called Six Items or Less, which basically has people commit to wearing only 6 clothing items that they already own for 30 days.

I thought about it and although 6 items just didn’t seem very doable for me, 10 does.

So starting September 1st I will begin “Rockin 10 for 30” here on the blog.

And while my goal isn’t as serious as the folks on The Great American Apparel Diet, who are not buying any new clothes for a year, I am hoping to forge some new habits out of this experiment.

For one, I hope that it will get me blogging daily and taking OOTD pictures and even perhaps…dare i say it…cutting back on the amount clothes that I buy!!!!

Which by the way, has not been that difficult lately. I have found myself being very focused in stores.

If I am looking for something in particular and I don’t find it, I have been leaving empty handed!

Yes.

Empty handed!

LOL

Anyway, here are the 10 items that I have chosen.

1. Blazer
2. Jeans
3. Flowy top
4. Solid Color top
5. Skirt
6. Solid Color Dress
7. Sweater
8. Colorful Top
9. Leggings
10. Colorful Dress

They are all pretty much basics for a wardrobe that should be easy to mix and match with accessories, etc to create a variety of looks.

Right?

So, who wants to join me?

This would be so much more fun as a group project!!

Note: there will be a couple of times where I may stray due to some upcoming projects but hopefully I can pull of the full month!

And really, I want some cohorts for this!!

Show how creative you can be with just 10 easy pieces!

Who’s up for the challenge?
