It happens to the best of us- clothing that just doesn't flatter. Sometimes we actually wear it out of the house. Sometimes we try to wear it, then change out of it and wear something else instead- every time.
The idea behind the #NoUglyClothesChallenge is to NOT own any item of clothing that doesn't do anything for us. Honest Kim says, "If it doesn't make you look better, why change out of your pajamas?"
The #NoUglyClothesChallenge is about:
- Financial empowerment: spending less (within a budget) on clothes, shoes and accessories.
- Looking our best: getting rid of the riff raff so all that is left are pieces that flatter
- Extending the lifecycle of fashion: taking care of clothing while we own it and selling it when we are done with it
One way we help show this is by doing Closet Takeovers, where Honest Kim goes to a Victim/Beneficiary's closet and goes through it with her on Facebook Live. Viewers can help decide what stays and what goes. At the end, the V/B comes up with a realistic budget for the next months and a stretch budget, which is normally a zero spend.
"For weeks after I disposed of the ugly clothes people would compliment me on how they loved my outfits and whether they were new. It finally clicked I wasn't wearing any unflattering clothing anymore because they were gone."
That's Annie, Closet Takeover Victim/Beneficiary #1. Some might find the process a little harsh, but that was her verdict afterwards.
