February Freeze roundup

     What was February Freeze, you're probably thinking? Well, I decided to wear those great things in my closet that never get worn. The truth is, while I own LOTS of clothes, there's a select few that regularly go through the wear-wash-iron cycle, while the rest hang around the closet, sad, lonely, and actually really lovely.

      Missed my original posts? 
See 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 5 1/2, 6, 7 or 8.
    
      For a short month, I think I did pretty well -- I wore 13 not-loved-enough items.
      Some thoughts:
  • Wow, I own a lot of blue.
  •  I love prints (the bigger, the better!), and that's OK.
  •  I like to buy dresses, but I'm not so great about wearing them. 
  • To not be afraid of bold jewelry. Starting to love that red necklace!
  • White is such a refreshing change from the usual denim and black. 
  • I had fun doing this challenge, and overall I'm pretty happy with this month's outfits, probably because I spent less time wearing my usual tee and jeans and forced myself to take style risks.
Favorite outfits: 2, 4, 5, 5.5, and 7.
Style stretches: 2, 5, 7
Classic: 4
Simple yet put-together: 4, 5

Which one is your favorite?

  7. Thank you, Rebecca! My cousin buys some very nice stuff, and she's generous enough to pass it on when she doesn't want it anymore ...

  8. Kat -- I'm sad that Picnik is closing in a few months and I just figured out how to make collages! It is really interesting to put a bunch of outfits together and see what patterns show up. :)
