Spring 10x10 Day 9

Oh man, the Spring 10x10/Unfancy Remix is almost over! I can hardly believe it! I feel like I’ve learned so much from limiting myself this much.

I mean, at the very least I know I hate limits this strict. I’m working on a debriefing post where I’ll share what I’ve learned from doing the challenge for next week.

Spring 10x10 Day 8

It happened, you guys. I gave in. I cracked. I reached for a jacket that wasn’t in my 10 pieces. Heck, it’s not even a part of my spring capsule! Although, I guess it is now.

See, I run my capsule wardrobe like a pirate.

Spring 10x10 Day 7

I’d tried to style this turtleneck sweater with my high top converse early on in the challenge and hated the way it turned out. But I couldn’t shake the feeling that this sweater could work with high top sneakers, so I gave the styling another try.

I actually love how this outfit turned out!

Spring 10x10 Day 6

Another simple outfit? Yeah…I just couldn’t help myself! I was starting to run out of ideas at this point in the challenge. I was really stretching to come up with something comfortable enough for a Wednesday that I’d spend on my feet without becoming an outfit repeater.

Anyone else think of Lizzie McGuire when they hear the phrase “outfit repeater”?

Anyway, I noticed that I hadn’t styled my mockneck top yet and decided to go for it. I’m pretty pleased with how this turned out.

Spring 10x10 Day 5

Happy Saturday guys! I don't usually post on the weekends but I wasn't able to publish this post yesterday because life got real crazy. Like, taking Uber to work because you left your keys in your husband's car crazy, which now that I type it out doesn't sound as stressful as it was when I was living through it yesterday.

Anyway, here's Day 5's look, just a little later than planned!

I feel a little crazy doing this considering my life's schedule over the next two weeks, but hey! It's a good challenge and I think it's worth sharing how versatile a capsule wardrobe can be!

Time for Day 4’s outfit!

Spring 10x10 Day 2

Ok, ok, I’m wearing the jeans again. But if you know me, you know I hate wearing the same jeans two days in a row, so not only is this a big step for me, but it also tells you how much I love these jeans. I looooove the colors in this outfit. I mean, I’m counting this cognac as a color because of how saturated it is. Anyway, I love wearing it close to my face because it really brings out the warmth in my eyes and hair color. It’s like the browns of my features all come to life, which probably explains why I’ve been wearing this top all.the.time since I picked it up at the thrift store.

Spring 10x10 Day 1

I like this look! The distressed jeans are a new addition to my closet (they’re replacing my other high rise black denim) and I’m obsessed. I think the green sweater helps liven and soften the black denim and black “leather” jacket. I’m all for edgy outfits, but I prefer to keep things softer in spring. I put a lot more effort into my hair and makeup for Day 1. I’ve been wearing my hair either down or up lately, so the half top knot was a nice break from routine.
