So I've been thinking about my first project, something to keep the boredom at bay! And sometimes nothing can be as boring as one's own clothing!
I know I have a lot of clothes... (I think it stems from my childhood where all I ever wore were trackpants and gumboots so I'm kind of over compensating now)... but just how many items of clothing do I own?
Enough to wear something different everyday until Christmas.? Surely not...
Here is the project. I am going to wear all the clothes I own before Christmas Day. I am going to take a photo of my outfit each day and post it up with a little information about the outfit. I may even rate it on how it performs under varying categories. Such as comfort! (ha!) Or compliments!
Today is November 1st. I have 54 days to complete the task... easy? Well actually now I've had a countup of my clothes I am a little concerned!
Here is my wardrobe dumped out on my bed.
Here are the shoes
And here are the statistics:
Skirts 10
Trousers 4
Hoodies 4
Shorts 6
Dresses / Tunics 25
Shirts 8
Tops 38
Cardigans / Vests 9
Jackets 12
Leggings 4
Trackies 3
Jeans 4
Shoes 15 pairs
Plus numerous scarves, belts and handbags! I must admit to being a little embarrassed!
Conditions:
Wearing the clothes is not just putting them on and taking the photo, then changing into something else. Wearing the clothes constitutes an outfit that is worn 'out' of the house, either to work, or a party or the supermarket.
One pair of trousers is not included cos I'm too fat for them now!
Sports wear and sleep wear are not included.
I haven't counted the scarves, belts and handbags etc - maybe that can be another challenge!
Oh and I haven't counted what I am wearing today - here is me, looking horrendous, practicing with the self timer on the camera!
So that is the mission... tomorrow the first proper outfit! Watch this space!
