10 x 10 Wardrobe Challenge | Day 4

As you know, I've been working my way through a 10 x 10 wardrobe challenge. The 10 days are up and I'm slowly getting the posts put up. Thanks for bearing with me -- life has been crazy busy!

A 10 x 10 wardrobe challenge is where you take 10 articles of clothing, create ten outfits, and wear them over the course of ten days! You can learn more about the 10 x 10 challenge by reading my original post on the topic. 

On day four I decided to shake things up a bit -- I tucked my sweater into my jeans!

Radical! I know! I've worn this sweater so many times, but when I tucked it in, it made the whole outfit feel new and fresh!

Have y'all ever tucked something in, or maybe out, and had it totally change a garment for you? Try it! You'll discover that an old favorite has more versatility than you thought!

Be sure to check out days one, two, and three of my 10x10 Challenge!

10 x 10 Wardrobe Challenge | Day 3

I've got another outfit from my 10 x 10 wardrobe challenge to share with y'all today -- and it doesn't include my black skinnies or vest!

You can check out the original post here, where I talk about all the details of the challenge. 

In case you missed them, here are days one and two!

This dress was my last purchase before I placed myself on a 90 day shopping ban!


I initially bought this little denim dress to wear in the summer as an alternative to denim shorts and a tee-shirt, but when it arrived I realized it could pair perfectly with tights for the rest of the winter season.

This dress is from Boden -- a new to me brand that has the cutest clothes! Since Boden is a British company, their sizing is a little different. For reference, I'm wearing a size UK 8 R/US 4 R and I typically wear a 0 or 2.

This outfit was super comfy to wear, but I also felt really put together. The dark denim makes this dress a bit dressy.  I can't wait to style this dress in other ways as the weather warms up a bit.

10 x 10 Wardrobe Challenge | Day 2

I'm currently working my way through a 10 x 10 challenge. 

I'm using ten articles of clothing, to create ten outfits, to wear over the course of ten days. 

You can check out the original post here, where I talk about all the details of the challenge. 

You can check out my day one outfit here!

This outfit is my version of sporty-cool -- stripes, vest, and sneakers!

The jeans and the vest are back again! This time I paired them with a striped shirt and comfy sneakers. This shirt is so fun! The body is gray and white striped, while the sleeves are black and white striped -- which I find to be kind of funky and cool. 

In other news -- I met up with some girlfriends last night for dinner. We went to Tap Thai -- I highly recommend it if you live in the Santa Barbara area. I ordered the pineapple fried rice and it was incredible!

What have you been up to this weekend?

XOXO

10 x 10 Wardrobe Challenge | Day 1

In case you missed yesterday's post, I am taking on a 10 x 10 wardrobe challenge!

10 pieces of clothing -- 10 outfits -- 10 day!

I decided to kick things off with an outfit I love to wear!



This little number is the definition of comfort and style -- oversized sweater, skinnies, booties, and a quilted vest for a little extra warmth. I bought this sweater when I went to San Francisco a few summers ago and it was freezing! I remember feeling like such a tourist, because I should have known better -- San Francisco is always a bit chilly!

Vest -- (old, similar)
Skinnies -- J. Crew
Booties -- Sam Edelman

I bought these booties right before Christmas and they have been on repeat ever since! They are so comfortable and required no break in time! They go with just about everything -- my best purchase of 2016, by far!

I feel like day one of my little 10 x 10 challenge was a success!

What do y'all think? Is this something you would wear? Chime in with a comment below!

Winter 10 x 10 Wardrobe Challenge

Have y'all ever heard of a 10 x 10 wardrobe challenge?

It is where you use ten articles of clothing to create ten outfits to wear over the course of ten days. 




Since I am currently on a self imposed ninety day shopping ban, I thought a little wardrobe challenge might be a fun way for me to shake up my style with the clothes I already have in my closet. Also, Caroline from Unfancy did a 10 x 10 challenge a month or so ago, and it looked like fun!

My ten items include one pair of pants, one dress, one vest, one button down, three sweaters, one long sleeve top, a pair of ankle booties, and a pair of sneakers. Accessories can come and go as they please. 

Since I am currently in Santa Barbara and I don't have to go to Court while I am here, my wardrobe is super casual. 



Above is a model of what my 10 x 10 looks like. When I post my outfits, I'll let you know whether I am wearing a direct link to a product, or whether my product is older and I am listing something similar!

Tomorrow the challenge begins! I'll be posting my outfits daily, so be sure to check back in. 

Have you ever tried a 10 x 10 wardrobe challenge? Would you? Chime in with a comment below...

XOXO
