For those following along in my 15:30 fashion challenge (that’s wearing only 15 pieces of clothing ALL MONTH) I suppose you might like an update. Now that we are halfway through the month, I can honestly say I’m tired of this challenge. I do look longingly at the rest of my closet full of color. But it is sometimes nice to have limited choices. I can get ready for things faster and generally feel pulled together.
For instance, this is what I wore last Friday to the Houston Social Media Breakfast. I liked how the shoes looked with this outfit a lot, but I didn’t realize how bad they are for walking on broken, jagged sidewalks in the city.
An aside: I can’t believe how big and old my child looks in this photo. The babyhood is entirely gone. He turned six this week and lost his first tooth. While I was gone at a conference for the day, I might add. *sob*
Also I did kind of cheat twice so far. Once was for a photoshoot I was doing for my friend’s band. I knew we’d be working in kind of a dirty location and as a photog I’d be getting down on the ground, so I needed jeans but not my good designer jeans. And I didn’t want to ruin any of my tops either, so I just grabbed a t-shirt. Then the next day I did a charity walk and my team was wearing purple. I did use the shorts from my 15 pieces but naturally I had to add in a purple shirt.
This is what I wore to church last week, as a futile attempt to usher in fall. It is, in fact, mid-September and so I figured whites and pastels were over and it was time to break out the black. Alas, I was extraordinarily toasty in this.
