Secret Fashionista

I reread Catcher in the Rye a while back.  Towards the beginning of the book, Holden talks about his room mate being a "secret slob."  His room mate cleans up nice, but his stuff is nasty!  After sharing a bathroom with Peyton for 6 years, it's safe to say the he is a secret slob as well.  Anyway, I've since applied this thought process to other areas.  I, for one, am a secret fashionista.

Typically, this is what I will wear. 

Granted that this picture is taken at camp and there, people have "camp clothes."  My "camp clothes" are also my normal clothes.  Yep, I will regularly wear man shorts, a random shirt, and beat up Nikes.  My sister is the fashionista in our family.  I mean, that is what she went to school for.  I, for one, do not tend to walk around dressed all "cute."  I don't go shopping any more than I can help it, but when I do, I bring in quite a load.  I love beautiful things!

Last semester, I had this goal of wearing a new outfit every day that I taught for my field experience.  That would be around 32 different outfits.  The rules were simple:  I couldn't wear the same complete thing more than once.  I could change it up with a different cami, different pants, different cardigan, etc.  I missed it by ONE day.

This semester I thought, "I'm not messing around!"  The extra challenge?  There would be closer to 40 outfits for me to assemble!  I have added a few new pieces since last spring.  The step I took to ensure I wouldn't repeat an outfit was to take a picture on my computer every day.  My webcam folder looks like a junior high girl's Facebook profile filled with selfies!  My Sunday night ritual was to assemble all of my outfits for the week.  That would be the beaver in me hard at work!  :)

Well, I did it!  I accomplished my goal!  From the first day:

to the last:

I have worn a different complete outfit every single day!  I did happen to have some outfit mishaps along the way.  There was the day I lost a button off my pants and the day that a student told another student she didn't like the color yellow.  I was standing right next to her wearing this:

I'm not 100% sure if I'll start this streak over next semester, but I know I can!  I know that it will at least be a while before I repeat an outfit.  Look at this college girl being economical with her wardrobe!  :)
