I Did the Wool& 30-Day Dress Challenge

I Did the Wool& 30-Day Dress Challenge — Results & Outfit Log

When I bought my Texas house my realtor told me about this group on facebook she was using to learn how to pack in only a carry on for trips. This led me to Travel Fashion Girl and her associated Facebook group. It was on this site that I first learned about the magic of merino wool clothing for travel and started placing orders from the two shops that seem to be mentioned the most - Wool& and WoolX. I've successfully done carryon trips for extended periods of time to Europe and Australia/South Pacific Cruise relying heavily on my wool wardrobe.

I remember hearing early on about the Wool& 100 day dress challenge, and thinking there's no way on earth I could wear the same dress for 100 days. I vaguely recall seeing a 30 day challenge but still wasn't sold on being able to do it. Then in the fall Wool& did the Autumn Anchor Challenge - 7 days in the same pair of pants - and I thought this I can do! It was easier than I imagined and it inspired me to try out the 30 day challenge in the brand new Eliza dress I'd just gotten in Black.

This challenge was far easier than I imagined. Eliza was SO soft and cozy and perfect for a November/December challenge in Texas as the temperatures were dipping. Even on weekends it was comfy and easy. It was much easier to style for workdays than I imagined. No one caught on that I was wearing the same dress literally every day. Did I mention I only washed it weekly? The minimal amount of laundry I did that month was the best! Not sure I'm ready to take on 100 days still - but 30 days was easy and I can see myself doing it again.

You may be doubting me....so I bring you....my 30 days in Eliza! Actually 32 because I forgot to file some of my daily photos in the folder and ended up doing two extra days!

What do you think? Can you tackle a 30 day challenge? 100 days?

Blanks in American Mahjong: The House Rule That Completely Changed My Game

If you’ve spent any time in the online American Mahjong world lately, you’ve probably seen one surprisingly heated debate pop up again and again: Blanks or no blanks? Who knew six little tiles could spark such strong opinions? When Mahjong first started taking over my social feeds, I kept seeing players passionately debate whether blanks should be used in play. Some people swear by them. Others act like they should never touch the table. Naturally, I needed to understand what all the fuss was about. First things first… What is a blank tile in American Mahjong? Most American Mahjong sets come with six blank tiles . Their official purpose is simple: they're backup tiles.
