Such a great idea but bad timing for me. I go back to work in Sept and need to get a few things- maybe I will try to round up my Nordstrom order to start a few days late.
I, and now you ladies, picked a terrible time for my spending/shopping freeze lol. My birthday is in August and I am already looking for a birthday outfit. Not to mention all the birthday coupons that are already coming in - $10 off at Express, 2 $10 off to Victoria secret, $15 loft (plus a $20 reward)... ahhhh!!! Next it is going to be hard to eat healthy because all those free desserts for restaurants are going to start coming in lol.
I'm in! I definitely need a spending freeze for August (for me anyway, my kids actually do need new clothes). My clothes are limited to what fits but I do have a decent maternity wardrobe after three pregnancies, I'm trying to not buy anything new cause I'll only wear it for 3 more months. I need to start remixing my accessories.
I need to do this too - especially the spending freeze part! I discovered clothes I haven't worn in a while while finally folding laundry...I know that sounds weird, but I have a horrible habit of doing laundry, putting in basket and digging through for weeks at a time until I get frustrated and finally put it all away. I have plenty of clothes - just need to wear them and keep them organized!
I do this too. Who has time to put the damn laundry away when you have work and kiddos. I have clean clothes all over my house. So glad we got a bigger house
Y'all picked a hard month to go on a spending freeze. All of the new fall styles are rolling out right now. I won't commit to a spending freeze but I will do a remix. That way I can save all of my fall purchases to wear in fall.
I'll pick out my stuff tonight or tomorrow.
It is tidbits like this that I did not need to know! I thought those sales were more in Sept. Lol ahhh! I'm gonna hold strong though.

This! lol I opened my mail after being away and I'm sad at all the deals I'm going to be passing up during my birthday month! Oh well...I will stay strong!

I so need to do this and just need to find the time to organize and put clothes away also!! I have 3 closets of clothes and I keep wearing the same things because I am so un-organized! BUT working 3 jobs and taking care of 30 horses (2 are mine) 3 dogs and try and give my husband attention has me frazzled!!!!!
ditzydi did you do a 30 day closet remix at some point? How many pieces did you choose to mix up for the month?
I tried but I ended up giving up at like day 20. And then I think weekends were free game which was nice since it was hard to use the pieces I picked to chase DS around. Plus when I get home he's usually throwing the pj's at me so we don't go anywhere. Homebody much? Ha.
ETA: I don't think I'm going to limit myself to a number of pieces for the spending freeze. Just rotating through my closet. There's so much crap in there that I need to pull out and wear again.

I like this approach and I may do the same. I think I am going to pick a few pieces (maybe like 3-4) to challenge myself to style in different/new ways but my goal is to maybe try to wear a piece everyday (at least one) that I haven't worn in a while maybe? But all stuff I currently own. This is going to be fun! Also my other challenge is going to be more skirts/dresses which I have totally neglected for months.

This is SO true. I was thrilled after this weekend because I managed to get all of the clean clothes in various piles around the house\bedrooms put away. I guess the exception is the babies room though. Her clothes are in transition at the moment, I need to pull out everything for the next size and put away all the things she's outgrown. It kind of looks like a clothes explosion in there. Maybe this weekend!
Since I don't really 'get dressed' everyday. This will be more about a freeze and wearing what's in my closet than it will be a remix. But I'm all in. I need to put some money away for my crossfit fund anyway so this is perfect! DH will be thrilled!!

What about doing one of the monthly instagram challenges? That way there is a challenge to every day which would require looking at wardrobe differently I would think.
