I thought this was a good challenge because I can be that girl, surrounded by a plethora of clothing, having a tantrum, yelling 'I have nothing to wear!'. Which is complete bullshit, I have lots to wear. I've never done daily style on this blog (lots of what I wear but not an everyday account), mostly because I'm usually wearing rather unglamourous work clothes but I admire ladies like Kyla and Elaine who post daily, giving readers constant inspiration for remixing. So, for a week, I will post daily and remix like it's nobody's business... I have a lot of crazy pieces in my closet but to be functional in this challenge I chose a lot of basics plus a little sparkle to keep it sassy. My goal is to create really different looks but keep it wearable. Here's the breakdown of what I chose...
10 articles of clothing (pink #s, 'cause I'm fancy like that)
1. Gap biker boots
2. Jeffrey Campbell brown suede booties
3. Seven $ All Mankind ripped denim
4. Gap highwaisted zipper skinnies
5. Vintage Holt Renfrew wool dress
6. Brown Danier bomber
7. F21 sweatshirt
8. Thrifted striped turtleneck
9. Blue plaid shirt
10. Sequined Betsey Johnson shrug
5 Accessories (teal #s)
1. UO hat
2. Leather fringe bag
3. h&m necklace
4. Banana Republic patent belt
5. Thrifted Roots belt
AND because it's still cold up here I get to add (purple stars) a pair of functional shoes (Kenneth Cole boots), a pashmina, gloves and my ear warmers. If it gets colder I'll bust out my parka but I hope to make do with just the bomber...
Day 1
5+9+2+3+5
+Old Navy tights+ Kenneth Cole boots
And may I just give a high five to all those peeps who take their own pictures! This is hard!

I know about this challenge and I am really looking forward on how you girls will come up with outfits given a few selection of clothes.
Love how you styled your first day outfit... the plaid under the sweater is fabulous. xoxo
I love that dress! Looks fabulous styled with the plaid and woven leather belt, too. Can't wait to see the other looks! What a fun challenge!
I am looking forward to more, love this look:)
Cute! I love this outfit! Can't wait to see what else you come up with :)
great job. those are some killer boots.
wow good luck! I am already putting some outfits together with your pieces lol. I will def do a challenge like this one of these days!
Ooh I love this look - can't wait to see how everyone fares (I'm participating too).
Best of luck with the challenge! I can't wait to see what you come up with.
functional?? those boots can't be functional cuz they are too damn cute. the straps remind me of a pair im hoping and praying will someday go on sale for under 190$ on modcloth. basically, i dig.
I love this outfit. I will be trying to recreate it in the future.
Well done, see you tomorrow...
;)
Great start. Looking forward to seeing what comes next.
This first one looks great! I'm really looking forward to seeing what you put together. This gold necklace is so fun!
Awesome first outfit. I love the necklace and that purse is literally killing me right now with it's awesomeness. You have the best purses! I'm doing the challenge too. It's so hard!
What an incredibly awesome challenge! I can't wait to see what you come up with. And this is totally inspiring me to layer my collared shirts under some of my dresses.
I love how you chose both black and brown items deliberately - I'm also doing the challenge and I kind of wimped out and picked mostly black, white, and gray items. Looking forward to the rest of your challenge outfits!
Yes, yes, YES! I can't wait to see how else you style everything!
LOVE the boots. LOVE them. What a great start to the challenge.
I Love the wya you have styled this. I have a LBD in my capsule and a blouse to do the same. Somehow I don't think it will look as good as yours!
this is a great challenge, i might have to try it! looking forward to seeing all 5 looks & well done for the self-timed photos - they can be such a hassle to do!
Very cute outfit - love those boots!
This is my 3rd time in the challenge, and I always do a dress too. It's a top! It's a skirt! So versatile.
I take all my own pictures (usually in 1-2 takes). Just gotta master that timer!
what a fun project!! Can't wait to see more!
If you got strain over your leather cloth then don’t rub your cloth harshly instead wash it with water and a mild soap. If you get ink strain on your leather clothes then use ink remover quickly and then wash it with water and mild soap. Use soft brush to remove dust and soil over your leather cloth and accessory. Suppose if bubble gum is stick with your cloth then first dry the bubble gum by gently heating it with a hair dryer, then get clean with it white cloth.
oooh what a fun idea!! and great mix!
That sounds so fun!!! Thanks so much for the shout-out ;) I can't wait to see what you come up with!! I like this one so so far so good!
