A Challenge

Happy Monday guys and dolls! Hope your weekend was grand. Quite a bit has been going on at the KATNP Headquarters (a.k.a. my kitchen table), for one New York Fashion week is in full swing and I've been glued to Style.com for the latest updates. You won't see any formal reviews of shows on here, but I'm planning a week's end round up of what I've learned to expect for Fall 2013, but until then you can keep up with my thoughts via Twitter and see some of my favorite looks on Tumblr/Pinterest.

Second, I'd like to formally introduce you all to a new outfit challenge. As you may, or may not, know Lent is just around the corner (starting this Wednesday!) and like last year I plan on giving up shopping, but unlike last year I'm planning on sticking to it. In addition, in attempts to keep things interesting for both me and the blog I've also decided to take a 30x40 outfit challenge. Originally inspired by Kendi Everyday's 30x30 challenge, I'll essentially take 30 pieces from my closet and make 40 different and (hopefully) stylish outfits for the 40 days of Lent. Crazy?! Yes, I know, I like to torture my mind to spice things up every once and awhile.

I won't lie, I'm really nervous and have been slightly stressed out trying to figure out what 30 pieces to use. I'm still unsure about my final selections, but they're officially out in the blogosphere so I'm officially committed, for better or for worse. Check out my 30 selections below and then please pray for my sanity for the next 40 days.

Is it bad that I've selected more shoes than any other category? We all know where my loyalties lie in my closet, haha! Here's a more basic breakdown of my 30 pieces.

7 pairs of shoes

2 dresses

5 shirts

5 sweaters

3 pants

1 pair of shorts

3 skirts

3 jackets

1 faux fur vest

30 pieces. 40 looks. Let's do this!

Thanks for reading!
