Day 86 and beyond.







I did finish my project, and successfully (at least by my own standards). I really did go 90 days without repeating an outfit -- and then some. In fact, I've only repeated three outfits from the experiment since I stopped taking photos. But life interfered right after my trip to Missouri -- overwhelming job duties and computer issues -- that kept me from keeping the last leg up to date on the website. For that I apologize.
I learned a lot over the last few months. I learned that I can get by with fewer clothes than I thought possible -- and I only bought a couple of shirts from the thrift store and one clearance cardigan sweater during this whole time. I also got rid of two and a half garbage bags full of clothes that I didn't want to wear, which was liberating in and of itself. I also became completely desensitized to seeing myself in photos, which is maybe the most important aspect of this whole project. I'm no longer a shock to my own eyes. I'm just another person on film -- and that sort of emotional freedom from self-hatred was exactly what I wanted.
I declare this a success. On to the next thing...
