I did something SO GUTSY today. See, before the 30x30 Remix Challenge thingamajig got started, I compiled a list of all the outfits I'd wear during the thirty days. I didn't assign dates or anything, but I thought it would be a good way to make sure that all the items got worn somewhat evenly. Up until now, all of the outfits have come straight from that list, but today, I blazed a new trail and just wore what I wanted. What a thrill. It reminds me of something ... what was that? Oh, that's right: it reminds me of how I used to pick out my clothes. Exciting!

In all seriousness, I am getting a little sick of this 30x30 venture. It's starting to seem silly. I look at a closet full of clothes/shoes and realize that I've intentionally, inexplicably banned myself from wearing most of it. Why, self, why?! I'm going to stick with it for the remaining fifteen days, just to see if perhaps there's some all-encompassing wisdom waiting for me at the other end ... something like, "Less is more."

Although I'm pretty sure that more is more, technically speaking.
