The image on the left is what I wore on Sunday. I was tired after the game on Saturday, so I threw on some sweats. Then I slept in the sweatpants. Then I wore them on Sunday. Don't judge me. They are super comfortable. Originally, sweatpants weren't on the list so:
57. sweatpants
58. another pair of socks (despite only having 7 pairs of socks, I managed to lose a pair)
59. another pair of underwear because I failed in planning out my laundry days.
60. another pair of jeans (it got cold here)
Yup, nothing like adding a few more items on the last day of a challenge. Oh well, I've still met my goal of 60. Also, I never wore my capris or my grey dress pants. Interesting.
Moving right along, today I'm wearing the new jeans, t-shirt, and blue zip up sweatshirt (not pictured). I can't believe tomorrow is the last day of the challenge. My roommate asked me what I plan to wear on Wednesday. I'm not sure. I'll probably end up wearing the same stuff I've been wearing thus far. I really don't miss my old clothes. My other roommate commented that it doesn't seem like I've been wearing the same things, so I consider this challenge a success. Also, many thanks to Claire (the first roommate mentioned in this paragraph) who has been taking pictures of me everyday.
Now that the challenge is almost over, I'm looking towards the future. Like Becky, I want to give away some of my clothes. Of course, this is a lot easier in theory than in practice. Even though I've gone 30 days, I fear that I may need something for a special occasion. I'm debating whether or not it's better to have stuff "just in case" or if I'd be better off getting rid of stuff and buying new stuff if I need it. Because chances are, I could probably live without it. Most likely, I will just pack a box full of clothes to be left at home while I'm at college. Then it's kinda there but kinda not. Then in a year or so, maybe I'll be willing to donate it.
Also, I've been thinking about future challenges. As previously mentioned, I'll be going to Australia next semester. I'm thinking about trying to limit myself to 75 items of clothing for 2-4 months. Obviously, I can't bring many clothes with me, and I don't want to buy a lot of clothes there only to have no way to get them back to America. This idea is still in the works.
Also, Becky and I have to decide what we want to do with this blog. I've discovered that I really like blogging. Even if we decide to discontinue the blog, I think I will make my own. However, I have a different suggestion. I think we should keep the blog going and we can continue to document our attempts to live more simply/minimalisticlly. There would probably be fewer pictures, but the content would still be there. What do you think, Becky?
