Can I do it?

Can I actually take on a challenge and finish it??? Doubt it, but gosh darn it, I'm gonna try. So my latest challenge was on flickr and yeah, already dropped the ball on that one.

It's hard to find time to take pix of myself or beg my hubby to shoot me. I know, wa wa wa. Most of you ladies have kiddos and real jobs outside your home and you do a super job at blogging. I will admit, it's very tough for me to blog. I am a spaced out over thinker. Now you wanna be my bff. admit it.

I think my biggest problem is I'm always a slob and have recently confessed to my hubby that I feel like I look like drag queen when I wear a full face of makeup. I think I've gotten really used to my a la natural face. Which is kinda a good thing. I guess.

So here is the challenge 30 for 30. Got the idea from the coolest chic in blog world. Meredith, from Yours, Mine and Ours. I get such a joy out of seeing her pix. She's so confident and funny.

I want what she's having!!!! 

For those of you that won't take the time to click on the link above.

Here is what the gal that create the challenge said.

The "30 for 30" Philosophy

In December 2009 I started a style blog to document my daily style journey. By April 2010, I’d run out of funds and had lost the original intent of my blog: to remix the contents of my closet. I introduced the idea of remixing what was in my closet by the idea of the 30 for 30 Remix. "30 for 30" simply meant that I would take 30 items and remix only those items into 30, (hopefully) stylish outfits.

The whole point of the remix is to show myself and readers that with a little bit of creativity, you can make what you have work for you.

Interested in joining in? If you don’t have 30 items in your closet, no problem. The best part of remixing is working with what you’ve got. If you’ve got it, let’s remix it. If you have more than 30 items, pick the items that make sense for this remix. This is a challenge to help you learn to shop your closet and to shop smartly. By being well-versed in what you already have, you will become a better shopper.

Here are the rules:

1. Pick 30 items or less from your closet. Shoes are included, but accessories and jewelry are not.

2. Remix the 30 items into 30 different outfits.

That's it! Well not entirely so..

3. Don't shop for 30 days.

Why in the world would I add insult to injury, you ask? Because of two reasons: 1) so you'll learn to shop your own closet and 2) so you'll appreciate it. So many times I've run out and bought a new dress for one event or I bought something because I felt lacking and not what was in my closet. Obviously, this is not the best solution to a problem. I have found that when I limit myself with shopping, with 30 items, I become so much more aware of what I have versus what I need. By the end of the 30 days, I am ready to shop, but with new eyes of what I really need.

This challenge can be taken at any time. I tend to take on the 30 for 30 challenges in the middle of a season, just when my closet starts to look boring. I've taken two challenges so far. To see my remixes:

I will start it after this weekend. 

Oh which by the way, I'm excited about...Clothing swap time!!!
