The purpose of this challenge is to extend the use of the clothes already in your closet and help you when you make purchases to figure out if it will benefit your closet. Essentially, build your own wardrobe.
Often, we wear the same outfits because we know they work and its easy. Then end up wanting to buy new things to extend our closet, but they really only extend to one more outfit.
So to get out of the rut, pick a color each week to focus on.
- Find everything you have in that color and look for some inspiration in different ways to wear it. Think belts. Instead of the pants what about a skirt? What if you wore it with a different color? The same color?
My example for you is this purple sweater. My darling Mom bought it for me for my Bridal shower. It is a royal purple sweater, and goes perfectly with the skirt she bought me to match. In other words.... it only gets worn with this skirt. Not very versatile with the rest of my closet.
So I made the effort this morning to branch out it's use. I wore it with a cream and black polka dot shirt, a black pencil skirt and black patent flats. It's not a huge change for the sweater but it allows me to have another work outfit that incorporates other clothes in my closet.
Try and focus really hard on this on Monday's and Thursday, plan out cute outfits and post them on the main blog page with the color label and the CC label.
Good Luck and can't wait to see your pairings!
