Six Items or Less 30 day Challenge

I had a stylist friend of mine, Robert Ballew, challenge me to wear only 6 main clothing items for the next 30 days. It is to raise awareness for Fresh Start Women's Foundation. I accepted the challenge, and after going thru my closet, I chose the following for a fall wardrobe in AZ. Black skirt, beige skirt, black, grey and purple tshirts, and a black dressier top. I am making a one day exception to this rule (yes- you can make a few exceptions if you need) for a wedding I am attending at the end of the month so I dont have to wear all black to the wedding. Lets see how creative I can become with vests, and accessories this month!

How many times do we stand in our closet and say that we have nothing to wear. With so many people looking for new jobs these days, and not having a budget for that new wardrobe, start thinking outside the box (or closet!) By having just a few key pieces (even as few as 6!) and accessories, you can vary your looks enough to dress for over a month, with very few people knowing that you only have 6 pieces in your wardrobe. There are some exceptions that do not count towards the six items: undergarments, swim wear, workout clothes, work uniforms, outer jackets (rain slicker, outdoor jacket, sweaters), shoes and accessories.... THANK GOODNESS!!!

If you would like to take a look at your wardrobe, and take this challenge with us, please let us know! We would also like for you to go thru your wardrobe, and help donate clothes to Fresh Start so that we can help give women a chance to start over!
There is also a place to donate directly to Fresh Start on LifeLibertyLux.com.
