Half yearly stocktake

I can hardly believe myself that I stuck to my guns photographing and blogging everyday for the past 183 days.

What’s amazing is the amount of denim I have accumulated in that time.I think I started out with maybe 4 pairs of jeans and 2 jackets, 1 hat and a bag.

Thanks to all the donators, loaners and fashion spotters who have contributed to this outstanding 6 month denim tally.

I’m going to put my head down and bum up and really go for it in the next 6 months. maybe even double my denim?!?
