Friday ReBlog: 10x10 Outfit Challenge - Thriftshop Chic Skip to content Building a stylishly edited wardrobe from thrift store finds Glossary Resources Friday ReBlog: 10×10 Outfit Challenge Posted on October 7, 2016 October 6, 2016 Caroline over at Un-Fancy recently completed a 10×10 outfit challenge: 10 outfits in 10 days using 10 pieces of clothing (including shoes, not including other accessories). Her inspiration for the project? She wanted to resist the urge to buy a bunch of new stuff for fall and instead challenge herself to discover new ways of making outfits with pieces she already had. My favorite thing about the series? (Well two favorites). She gave her outfits grades based on how functional/comfortable they were but also how “Caroline” they were – how close they each came to her own personal style sweet spot. And she wasn’t afraid to give an outfit a failing grade! Most style bloggers you read (myself included) are tempted to post only the “successful” outfits and to skip spilling the beans that a chic- or hip-looking outfit was really uncomfortable or not necessarily “us.” I also liked that remixing 10 pieces forced her to get creative and pair things in ways she doesn’t normally wear them – and thus she discovered a new-to-her silhouette that is her “fashion future” – the direction she wants to head stylistically. Have you ever had an accidental “aha” moment like that? Caroline also invited readers to share their own outfit remixes, and thus I happened upon Cleshawn of Home to Hem’s great video lookbook of her 10×10 challenge. My favorite thing about her video? You get to see her styling the outfits in real time – realizing a bandana tied like a choker at the neck would take a simple outfit up a notch, or that a shirt needs to be tucked or rolled just so. For folks who want a boost in the “how do I style this?” department, you should definitely give it a watch! Both Caroline & Cleshawn have very laidback, work-at-home creative-type vibes. I totally think this concept is applicable for a more formal office environment, though – anyone up for trying it together? Have a great weekend, Thrifters!
