A Winter palette (lots of dark?) or maybe a 'safe' mix of items? (thats SO me...playing it safe)
I have some staples here that will also work well for the office and a few pieces Ive had for ages & ages (actually almost everything is old haha)
but there are pieces Ive have hardly worn so Im going to give it a go and see what I can remix!
ive excluded denim/blue jeans as I live in them so Im going to learn to love my skirts again.



There are NO rules for this challenge but Im setting some for myself.
No shopping for at least 30 days even though Id love some new winter shoes. I plan to save my pennies for a little shopping during my upcoming overseas trip.
What I hope to get out of this is to realise, yes, I can live with less and, yes, I can learn to shop my wardrobe and remix more often!
I need to stop rushing out to buy complete outfits and instead I need to buy pieces that enhance what I already have in my wardrobe to make it fresh and workable.

There's over 200 remixers so for all taking up the challenge - happy remixing!

Oh and I will be sharing pics of my 30 outfits but probably not daily as I work, I leave home in a frantic pace every morning and come home when its very dark and dreary (its Winter here folks) but I will do my best!!

  2. I just saw this challenge yesterday. Very neat idea. Would make choosing what to wear on a workday easier.
