30x30 remix challenge

It's a week before my 23rd birthday, and I've decided that it's time to further assess my closet by undergoing the 30x30 remix challenge started by blogger Kendi Everyday. The idea is to take 30 items from your closet and only wear those 30 items for 30 days. Since I'm basically living out of two suitcases right now, 30 items is roughly half of what I have available, so it wasn't that hard to whittle down my list. Items in red are items that I am considering giving away or selling after returning to the states, and hopefully this exercise will help me decisively conclude what goes and what stays. I'll try to update once or twice a week with outfits and thoughts. 

The list*:
Spiewak herringbone coat
Black velvet long sleeve dress
Grandma's breton sweater
Barbour Beaufort jacket
Zara camel pleated dress
Cashmere black turtleneck
Shearling leather biker jacket
Vintage paisley dress
American Apparel sweatshirt
Gap grey wool blazer
Vintage green floral skirt
American Apparel breton
Taupe suede ankle boots
Gap black straight trousers
Zara drop-shoulder breton
Black suede ankle boots
J Brand “major” navy pants
Vintage striped t-shirt
Black suede sneakers
Levis medium-dark skinny jeans
Vintage denim shirt
OTK black leather boots**
Levis black skinny jeans
Vintage black blouse
Fjallraven Kanken
Grandma's red cardigan
Vintage mustard blouse
Black suede carryall
Grandma's green cardigan
J. Crew striped button-down


*Excludes sleep wear and gym wear, and also a parka + LL Bean boots in case the weather gets nasty again.
**I should be receiving these boots in the mail either today or tomorrow, so I'll decide then if they stay in this last or not. 

I just received this suede waterproofing spray + cleaner in the mail yesterday. This Sunday morning was perfectly sunny for such a satisfying activity. Too bad the sunshine is only going to last another day before another solid week of rain. Thank god this stuff works though!
