I, on the other hand, am going to have to repeat bottoms with totally unique stuff on top - I did a quick mental inventory, and I can only come up with 15 pairs of pants or skirts (including fat jeans, which I should probably leave out of that count), and I know I don't own 15 dresses for the rest of the month (and that may not be practical as winter sets in here).Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18403024177515079403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6632064987562852587.post-66669301508158964522010-11-15T16:54:28.706-05:002010-11-15T16:54:28.706-05:00I tell you, I will be saving that delicious, delic...I tell you, I will be saving that delicious, delicious Boden skirt for the very last day.

I don't think I own enough pants/skirts to support that. I wish we could do something like 1 unique item a day, or something like that.

So maybe start it around mid-December? I think it'd be super fun to have it over the holidays, and especially New Years!
