Through Style I’ll… document everything I wear for two straight weeks.
This should be interesting.... I’m also saving them in my Cladwell app so that I can go back and use them to figure out really what I need in my closet in an average two weeks, what colors, shapes, etc I wear most often and more.

The first step was coming up with a rough list for what I NEEDED vs. what I WANTED.
