Finally! Here’s my Take One, Pass it On Wardrobe Remix Challenge
wrap up! I ended up participating in this challenge 22 out of 31 days in May.
It was almost 23 but we there were tornadoes and monsoons so the pic never got
snapped that day.
I got this idea from my friend and fellow blogger
AJ, who
got the idea from this fabulous blogger and challenge creator,
Sarah! We’re
paying it forward in style, y’all! Here’s how it worked: For the month of May I
remixed one item I wore the day before into a new outfit. It can be anything from blazers, tanks and
shoes to necklaces and statement earrings. You can do a week, weekend or a
month; whatever you want! This challenge was super fun, inspiring
and a learning
experience.
Here are a few of my takeaways:
- It forced me
to use pieces in new ways and be extra creative which is ya know, the point.
And it worked!
- I like to
take blog pics looking stage right.
- The
importance of investing in really great basics like a great tailored blazer and
fabulous pumps was a big takeaway. This challenge has already changed the way I’m
shopping. I’m looking for more dynamic and versatile pieces while collecting additional
basics as needed to extend my current wardrobe.
- It showed
me, as has blogging in general, the importance of knowing how to dress your
body. Not every outfit is a total win; sometimes they just don’t photograph
well and other times they just aren't flattering but hey, it’s good to know
because sometimes things do just look better in my head.
- Black is definitely
still my go-to as much as I have started introducing more color into my wardrobe
this past year.
I really
enjoyed this and I’ll likely do something like this again soon. Thoughts or
ideas? If anyone else is inspired and participates in this Take One, Pass it On
Remix Challenge, please let me know! And tell your friends! I know
Sarah would love to hear about it too!
Happy styling!
