I have been taking part in the #shopwhatyougot challenge which means I have to wear outfits from a capsule wardrobe of 30 items for 30 days. I decided to tackle this challenge a little differently by choosing a certain amount of clothes from my restriction of 30 items. For the first 10 days I put aside the following clothes:
1 Khaki Button down Dress
1 Navy Nursing Jersey Dress
1 Maxi Kaftan Dress
1 Oversized T-shirt Dress
1 Pair of Denim Shorts
2 Pairs of Black Harem Pants
6 Tops in a mixture of prints and colours.
Accessories aren’t included in the clothing tally. I have a total of 13 items that I wore in the first 10 days which leaves me with 17 pieces to add to my capsule wardrobe.
The reason I tackled the challenge this way is because I am going to Melbourne at the end of the month and I have no idea what clothes I will need for our 2 night getaway, so having some flexibility with adding warmer clothes into the mix is a wise move I think to keep within the challenge rules.
For me the interest for each outfit is added with an accessory. My mum recently came back from Dubai and brought back some fantastic scarves that I love wearing. I’ve been adding them to these outfits. The cape in the last picture was also given to me from my mum because she found it dragged on the floor when she would wear it. It fits and drapes on me perfectly. Thanks Mum!
I found the challenge fairly easy for the first 10 days so I’m eager to see how I go for the next 10 days.
