When I first decided to take on Kendi's 30 for 30 Challenge, I thought to myself, "how can I come with 30 outfits from the same items of clothes?", "what if I get bored with my picks," and most importantly, "I don't know if a will adhere to the no shopping for 30 days."

Well I broke the latter during black Friday with this purchase. But I will say that last week those same pants went on clearance $12 more than what I bought them at sale price, so I have no guilt over that. :P

However, the challenge has given me a new found appreciation to what I already had and that I did have it in me to be an awesome remixer. I will never have a closet, ahem, apartments, like Anna Dello Russo, but I'm ok with that.

Kudos to you Kendi for creating this challenge for it has changed the way I look at my closet.

So what did I exactly learn from this challenge?

Well... I learned:

• Less is More - During the challenge, I had less trouble figuring out what to wear since I only had 30 options. I didn't have half my closet strewn across my bed. Right now, I'm in the process of  going through my entire closet keeping items I know that can be remixed. 
•  The Remix Rule - Anything clothing I purchase will be remixable at least three times.
• See Clothes in a New Light- Would have I thought to put a skirt over a dress when I first started the challenge? Uh, no way. But as the challenge went on, with a tuck, a well placed belt, or some basic sewing skills, I can turn a dress into a top or a dress into a skirt.
• Seek Inspiration - When I couldn't think I what my next outfit should be, I turned to other bloggers, magazines, and other fashion sites for inspiration. Sometimes, you just need to see it on someone else and think, "I can recreate that."
