28 Day Clothing Challenge

So I am super excited for this month!!! And this clothing challenge. Especially because all of this is inspired by Grace. Our little 10 year old is such a beautiful young lady who has such a servant, kind, compassionate and loving heart. And I LOVE when she gets excited about something.

And so this month her GEMS group is doing a 28 day clothing challenge from February 2 - March 1 to help bring understanding as to how we live compared to girls in Zambia. Since we all have closets full of clothes that we wear, this challenge encourages all the girls to pick 15 items of clothing out of their closet and wear only those clothes for the entire 28 days. With a few other guidelines...

Lesson: TO LEARN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHAT WE WANT AND WHAT WE NEED.

I like it! I like it a lot!

So here are the rules for the challenge:

1. Choose 15 items of clothing in total - pants, skirts, jeans, tops and any accessories beyond those allowed.

2. Not included in the 15 items are: uniform needed for work, shoes, underwear, socks, bathing suit, sport clothes, or clothing needed to stay warm ( coat, mitts, scarf, toque) Decorative scarfs are included in the 15 items;)

3. Create all your outfits for the next 28 days out of these 15 items

4. Jewelry: you are allowed one set of jewelry - one pair of earrings, one necklace, a watch and your rings. If you want more pieces of jewelry they have to be part of your 15!

You can wash these items as often as you need to and we are supposed to keep track of our thoughts and feelings related to this challenge.

Grace is doing it and has inspired (at the very least) me and the little girls to do it too. Cory may or may not be on board...

Are you up for the challenge? If you are....that's awesome. Pick your clothes. Stick with it. And write down what you thought and when. Let's chat in 28 days!
