Summer Remix Recap

Though sometimes it felt stressful to do the 30 for 30, I learned a lot through the process and gained helpful insight to move me along in my style journey.  Taking daily pictures of your outfits is kind of eye-opening!  It reminds me of how as a singer, the best tool for me to improve was to listen to recordings of myself, so I guess it kinda makes sense how taking pictures was so insightful for me regarding style.

I can’t say I’m proud of every outfit, but I can say I’m proud of what I’ve learned.  I tried to do the 30 for 30 a few months ago when I first discovered style blogs.  (I can’t believe I’ve only been reading style blogs for a few months!  It feels like it’s been years now.)  Anyway, I don’t think I even lasted a week because I quickly realized my closet was full of one-hit wonders.  I started assessing my closet to figure out what pieces I could buy to make what’s already in my closet more versatile.  I shopped with new eyes and paid more attention to basics and accessories and started imagining different things you could do with garments (tucking, half-tucking, belting, knotting, different scarf techniques, etc.).  Yes, I started to figure this stuff out only a few months ago.  I’m behind the times, okay peeps?

The fact that I could actually finish a 30 for 30 and not feel overwhelmed, fatigued, or fed up with my clothes tells me that my closet is on its way to becoming what I want it to be–versatile and somewhat efficient.  But, I’ve still got work to do!
