Clothing

You would probably never guess this about me, but I love clothes.  I always want to look cute and fashionable, but I feel like it doesn't happen a lot.  I always blamed it on the fact that I can't afford to go shopping all the time and buy new clothes every week.

But lately, I've been reading a lot of fashion blogs on the internet, and I have come across one in particular that I really like (thanks to my friend, Dana!) called Kendi Everyday, and she does an interesting challenge every now and then called the 30 for 30 where she takes 30 different clothing items and comes up with 30 different outfits for the month and she doesn't go shopping at all during that time.

I am considering taking on this challenge myself to force creativity and style into my wardrobe.  Maybe I'll discover that I really do have a lot of nice clothes that I can get 30 different outfits out of.

I feel like in general I don't always try hard enough on my appearance.  I'm lucky if I put on mascara and some powder for make-up in the morning, and I usually don't even take the time to blow-dry and straighten my hair, so it has a tendency to look frizzy and stringy.

So anyway, here is my first outfit that I put together this morning with things that I already had in my closet!
