She said 53 items, right?  Isn’t that what we all heard?  Honestly, even when I remove items and recount, I am right back to 53 somehow!  The clothes seem to be breeding on the rack.  I knew this Fashion Fast was going to be tough, but was not expecting it to be THIS tough.  The fact that I live on the North Shore of Chicago where it is currently 92 degrees but will easily dip into the low 40’s by late October is making the challenge even more difficult.  Most items were chosen for versatility’s sake though a few rash decisions were made out of a desperate need for color and pattern.  So after much debating and whittling, the final list has been compiled and catalogued, and by order of Fashion Fast Rule Number Two, I present to you:

I have two confessions so far.  First, I am claiming my Ray Ban Aviators under Rule Number One as I wear them every day.  Second, I’m counting my bikinis as workout wear – I solemnly swear to swim at least a few laps every time I put one on…

Happy weekend everyone!
