Some things I've learned from this challenge:

accessories are your best friend, especially when you have limited items to work with.  For some it may be jewelry and for others it's belts but for me, in this challenge, my scarves served the same function as any other accessory would.  Fun + funky scarves to dress up plain and boring outfits and plain + boring scarves to tone down fun and funky outfits.  Accessories allow for endless possibilities and there are sooooo many more combinations besides the ones here that could've been worn because of accessories!

difficult pieces aren't as difficult as they seem to be.  Several of my 30 for 30 items I chose specifically b/c I had difficulties pairing them up w/ other items in my closet.  Instead of finding items I would wear w/ these pieces, I would just take the easy route and simply choose something else to wear leaving these pieces to sit in my closet for months at a time unworn... This challenge totally forced me to find ways to utilize these difficult pieces and some of them even turned out to be rather versatile!  In the end, it's all about determination.
