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...

Day 85: Heading home.


  • Everything is remixed.

Leaving for the airport, dappled in morning sun. Sometimes I really miss the country.

Day 84: Perfect weather.


  • Everything is remixed except...
  • Black tam, knitted by me.
  • Maroon tights, WeLoveColors.com.

This sort of day is why October is usually awesome in Missouri. It had been unseasonably cold, but not today.

Day 83: Chickens.


  • Everything is remixed.

These chickens are totally stealing the show here.

Day 82: Dinner out.


  • Everything is remixed.

I didn't realize my shirt was all wonky there. Oops!

Day 81: Travel weary.


  • Everything is remixed...
  • Except the grey tights, Target.
This is after the plane and a trip to the Nelson-Atkins Museum. I was worn out, and I forgot to tell my photo-taker to make sure my feet were in the frame...
