Style

I just wore this bow belt on my birthday in November. I say “just” as if it were yesterday, but this whole outfit repeating thing is new to me. I blame my obsession with documenting what I wear because I think everyone will remember me wearing it. The funny thing is, that most of you don’t remember these things, or particularly care. It’s something I really need to get over, which is why remixing is a wonderful concept!

I bought this grey shirt dress in England a few years ago and I love how it’s essentially a blank canvas…great for layering! I’d never thought to pair it with polka dotted tights until this day, but I really like how they look together. Although, I’ll admit it was a little on the scandalous side. I’ll likely wear shorts underneath the shirt dress next time, as there were a few people that probably saw more than they bargained for. Certainly not one to wear on a windy day!

Okay, so it’s the middle of winter and the other day I was looking out the window at rain and grey skies. It was no incentive to put together a cute outfit. It was the kind of weather that causes depression…DEPRESSION people! To avoid a severe case of the sads, I’m going to attempt a little February project. Because when your plate is already full, why not pile on more?

My idea is for a February Fashion Challenge. I will pick 28 pieces in my wardrobe and show you how I styled each piece. I will not be buying any new items. I will simply shop within my own closet. This may seem redundant, but I’ve chosen each piece for a reason. Some are things I’ve never worn, others are pieces I have a difficult time styling, and some are just my favourite pieces in my wardrobe. I’m trying to step outside of my comfort zone and push my styling limits. And if you didn’t take the time to count the number of items in the picture above, it’s only 18. I still need to photograph the next 10 pieces, which is what happens when you try to pack 28 things in a hurry. Attempting to blog every day for a month is a huge challenge, but I’m totally up for it (haha I say this now, but talk to me in 2 weeks). It’s day one tomorrow and I think I might start with the bow belt, or maybe the fur hat…we’ll just have to see.Happy Monday 🙂
