I don't think this month is going to be too tough. I like the simplification. It's not like I'm a fashionista. I doubt anyone even takes note of what I'm wearing anyway. Although, I'm sure there will be a minuscule number of people who know that I'm doing this and will keep tabs in order to make a comment or to try to catch me failing. I don't know why I attract these people, but I just do.
A couple of things I've noticed thus far, I'm going to miss my hair accessories. I like a good headband or flower. I'm going to apologize in advance if my underwear peeks out of my pants. I didn't want to sacrifice a shirt for a belt. I may regret that later!
I'm also, thinking I may really be sick of royal blue by months end. My wardrobe is HEAVY in it. But for a sports junkie like myself, not sporting your team colors is sacrilegious. I just can't do it. I just can't.
My kids are worried I won't keep up with laundering my 7 pieces of clothing. It is a valid point considering we currently have Mount Kilimanjaro of laundry and I consistently have at least 1 child clamoring for clean pants every morning.
Finally, I have what my friend Christy Tryhus, author of Live Life Beyond the Laundry, refers to as "Busy Mind Syndrome". I can't shut my mind off. This has caused me to begin obsessing about Children in Third World Countries and how my 7 articles of clothing relate to them. How can my excess become their enough? Then I stumbled upon this....Dress a Girl Around The World! There it was staring me down right in my Facebook feed!! I can sew! I have fabric! I need to read and research this, but I just might be able to do this! I can just hear the wheels turning in Brad's head, "Oh boy! Here we go!"
