Part 2: How I did it

30 days with approximately 47 garments (not including accessories & shoes) in 32 different outfits…

Neutrals-only outfits.

There was a whole lot of black going on last month, something I had gotten away from the past few years…

Days and Colors

Number of days I wore a color or combination

• black – 14
• neutrals only – 11
• blue – 10
• a neutral + a bright – 8
• more than 1 bright – 7
• green – 5
• pink – 3

Outfits with 2 or more bright colors or prints.

I LOVE mixing prints and wearing brights, especially in combinations—it’s like a vase of flowers on your desk…

Midtone colors – mossy greens and dusty blues.

I found I don’t wear a lot of these midtone color combinations with very little contrast…

Neutral colors (black, gray, brown, cream, sometimes navy) with just a pop of bright color.

Memorize this formula for an easy way to create a polished look. It’s just past boring without being too bright…
