30 for 30 for real- duck

- Duck (Crystal)

I know I've started the 30 for 30 during winter of last year somewhere and somehow, the 2nd time fizzled. Now, I have more of a reason to give it another go. You see, I'm remodeling my house, one room at a time. In order to make room, I have to tear out my closet. Meaning: throw away/donate old clothes, pack everything up, and leave a 4 foot wide space for both Thomas and me to share for a few months. I've already whittled down my shoes that's a fo-sho. Now it's down to my clothing.

Here are my items, with (2) left out as wildcards:

Here are my rules: I pick my 30 items, but if I wear an item not on this list, I forfeit an item I haven't worn yet. Capiche? Hence the arduous labeling system. I'll be Ctl+C and Ctl+V'ing a lot.

thow shalt not covet...

Oh, SJP. So charming and so quirky in SATC, how can you not love her? I think I loved that show because it had imperfections, but I hate these kinds of ad campaigns. 'if you buy this special perfume, you will be validated and so much more awesome that other people will want to be you!'.

Honestly- I read through blogs and magazines filled with images of beauty and perfection and usually do feel the green monster inside of me grow. Instead of bringing inspiration into my life, I bring jealousy. I want that perfect outfit, that perfect life. But even if you obtain all those 'things' that you want, it's up to you to DO something with it.

So here's to less coveting and more inspiration in life!

(and here are some shoes I neeeed am inspired by)

Cheers,
