This winter wardrobe challenge was to style only 10 pieces 10 different ways. 1: Black sweater dress brown booties
2: Floral top layered over black sweater dress tall boots
3:Flannel and slim black pants, black booties
4: I have my jeans on here with beige booties.
5: Flannel top, grey slacks, black booties
6: Jeans with floral top and black booties.
7: White top with jeans. I had to wear cooler sandals it was 80 degrees. My only deviation and to no surprise it was my shoes.
8: Floral top with grey slacks
9: Black pants with floral top
10: White top with black pants and black booties.
This was a fun challenge and I likely would not have worn the flannel with the grey pants if not the challenge but it did provide me with another option that I was quite comfortable in. It’s a reminder to keep mixing and trying to find new ways to wear pieces. It’s great for light packing on a trip. 10 pieces would easily fit in a carry on with toiletries.
I’m looking forward to getting back to the rest of my wardrobe. I am someone that has a lot going on with different activities so I don’t get rid of much in my closet. I do keep it well organized and I like to keep certain activities separate such as snowboarding trips, boating days, golfing, etc. I did this challenge as a way to mix it up more and shop my closet.
This experiment is hard; and, I’m not yet at 10 pieces. It’s been cold this year and its been raining more than usual. I eliminated some of my fall sweaters just because I wanted to include more festive sparkle pieces for the holidays. I’m hoping it gets more typical by tomorrow.
I have more to eliminate: sweaters, 1 flannel, 4 long sleeve blouses 2 dresses, 1 skirt, 3 jeans, 4 shoes (rain boots, 2 winter fashion boots, vans) I also will wear my black trench most days since its been raining so much this month. Other days I find I don’t need a coat at all.
We have a short winter season and its likely shorts will be added along with more t-shirts.
Day 4! I got home from work today and asked M to take a photo of my outfit. The kids got a hold of my wallet and refused to move. Such is life, right? In all seriousness, this is the most comfortable outfit in this whole 10x10! If you don’t know what what is, it’s a challenge to wear only 10 items over 10 days.
