- I remix so that I quit wearing the same shirt with the same skirt every time I wear them. (example: Khaki skirt and blue 3/4 sleeve top)
- I remix so that I can realize that I do not need more clothes and I just need to use what I have.
- I remix so that try and use my creativity to see what I can come up with.
- Clothes are designed to be worn so the more possibilities to get a wear out of an article of clothing the better.
- I like to consider my clothes based on $ per wearing and I do not want the amount to be over a dollar so I have to keep at it.
- I can figure out how to wear things that are 3-4 years old and still make them appear to be the current style.
- One good quality product can last years and go with a million things if you just think about it.
- A new creation can be a pleasant surprise.
- Remixing makes getting dressed in the morning more interesting. (Remixing challenges are even more exciting.)
- Thinking about remixing and looking at other bloggers remixing just makes me feel like my life is a little less boring.
Now I never think that I need to avoid the same combination I wore in the past. I mean it is good to branch out but why limit yourself. I want to remix but also want to wear each article of clothing as many times as possible. I have a lot of clothes. I tend to keep things that I haven't worn in 10 years. I need to quit doing this. It is a process. I have branched out more lately, but I need to do more to really clean out my closet.
Why do you remix? Why do you participate in fashion challenges?
there's nothing wrong with a lot of solids! haha, I hardly wear any patterns at all!
ReplyDeleteI think Katy just picked a few bloggers who she felt usually wear a lot of color - I'm not really sure. She just emailed a few of us and asked if we'd like to participate.
I hardly wear any patterns at all but when I do it find it so much easier to match my clothes. I just hate 90% of the patterns in stores I think. Seeing patterns on a rack is different than on me. Maybe sometimes I just need to try on a bunch of stuff.
ReplyDeleteYou're no alone, I need to clean out my closet too!

A, There should be a national clean out closet day or something so that we all just go and clean out our closets.
ReplyDeleteAside from certain color combinations, I can generally choose anything from my wardrobe and wear it with anything else, but I tend to think this is much easier for men.
ReplyDeleteI love it! So glad you posted this, Colleen.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kendi. You sure are quick at seeing my comment on your blog.
ReplyDeleteKionon, I do think it is easier for guys. I also think it is easier for people who consistently only wear things that go with black or only wear things that go with earth tones. About 4 years ago I could just practically grab anything but then I wanted to incorporate more brown and I was getting sick of black.
