2019 March Disneybound Challenge

The past couple years I’ve been participating in the March Disneybound Challenge (2017, 2018) - it’s not a contest or anything, it’s just a bunch of Disney nerds having fun and showcasing their Disney style. It’s a lot of fun and I’ve found several awesome humans to follow on Instagram because of this. And each year it teaches me something. Last year I talked about spring cleaning (which unfortunately I only about half finished, but that’s ok!).

This year I was determined to not buy anything new for my outfits - to use things I already had, AND to reuse things without feeling guilty. Instagram is weird - there’s this pressure to be funky and original and inspirational all the time. To have perfectly posed pictures and to post them at the perfect times to generate more traffic. And while I love those kind of posts, that’s just not realistic for me. I have a full time job, I’m a musician, I sew, I run, I do yoga. I also have a dog and a husband who I enjoy spending time with, along with friends and random social activities that pop up now and then. This leaves little time to create a perfectly curated Instagram feed, which is only frustrating because I feel like I have a lot to offer when it comes to my ideas, crafts and style! But as long as I’m having fun, who cares? I interact with the friends I’ve made in this community, possibly I make more, and I get my daily doses of Disney while collecting more ideas for the future.

A few musings from this month:

• I definitely reused an entire outfit for both Snow White and Franny from Meet the Robinsons.

• I wore my white jeans five different times - definitely a good piece to have in my closet

• I wore bows 14/31 days! I love bows (and making them - tutorials here and here)

• I wore a couple pieces I hadn’t in a white, just because they fit the color scheme I was going for. Even a couple things I’ve been thinking about donating. We’ll see if they make the cut in my next purge, but I am thankful for how they contributed to this year’s challenge!

You don’t need to be Insta-famous to share your style with the world. As long as you’re authentic and having fun, the right people will find you, and you’ll have a ton of fun :)
