After being absent for some days I decided to give you my own reasons for remixing. Just think of this post as the proof that I will continue my remixing adventure even if it's soon March and all the other bloggers are done with it!!So.....
Why do I remix?
By accident (partly)! When I applied for that remix thing I was really new in blogging (heck – I’m still new!), so I thought that a busy blog like Kendi’s wouldn’t bother with my lousy 2-3 posts. (see here). But Kendi is a sweet girl after all so she took me in! I could have said no if it wasn’t for my pride. “Hey, I thought, that’s easy. Maybe I can teach them something”. Haha, yeah – It’s NOT that easy! ! So let’s focus on the real reasons now...
To define my style. I was always an impulsive shopper, meaning that every time I saw something at a shop window that “clicked” I’d try it on and if it was my size, I’d take it with me and give it a home!! Some of those clothes when tried on for the second time were too short, too tight, too loud to fit in my closet (or all of the above)! By repeating you can observe through the photos and “see yourself as others do”, define your personal “style” and shop accordingly in the future.
To get the mentality. Remixing is trying to be creative with every single one of those 30 items. By doing this every day, it becomes a “habit” and as soon as the challenge is over I can’t wait to practice with the rest of my clothes. Hopefully that will make me understand what I need to buy instead of what I want to buy.
Due to the recession. That’s right!! I was never too much of a spender. Or a shopper. But I can spot a bargain! Now, I have to reduce my shopping sprees even more… Hopefully, after the remixing process I will feel like I have tons of new clothes, according to fellow remixers - I’m soooo in for that!!
To prove that style isn't always about trends.
Like I stated before, I'm not much of a shopper. Which means that most of the clothes I own (and you see here) were bought a million years ago!! If more people other than myself and the bf (and let's face it, he's not the most objective judge of outfits..) actually like my outfits then that’s it – point made!
To improve my relationship. As silly as that may sound, give me a chance to explain... I’m currently unemployed which means that I can practically spend 7 months of the year in my pj’s!! And if you ask my boyfriend he’ll tell you he won’t mind! But my dear girls, if only nature (and men) were that simple! I remix, because I have a reason to get out of bed, get all dressed up and fancy and then feel good about myself!(ok...some of the days at least!). By dragging around my nagging bf in a pathetic attempt to turn him into a photographer, we get together time and beneficial exercise! (thank you Kendi)
