10x10 Mini Capsule Wardrobe Challange

     I'm still working on my capsule wardrobe and trying to decide if I should break it up into seasons, until then I wanted to try the 10x10 challange where you pick 10 items from your closet and style those items into 10 different looks to wear for 10 days.

(This post contains affiliate links. Please see my disclosure policy for full details.)

After a quick pinterest search, included in the count of 10 are core items:

Tops

Pants

Skirts

Dresses

Sweaters

Shoes (though some do not include shoes)

     Not included in the count are any accessories you add to a look:

Jewelry
Hats

Bags

Scarves

Gloves

Base Layers (ie: underwear, tights, bodysuits, socks etc.)

Workout Gear

PJs and Loungewear

This is the formula I chose (I decided to count shoes)

[I use Smart Closet style app on my Samsung]

Camisole: Walmart 

Coral shirt: Target

Fuschia tunic: Amazon

Grey maxi skirt: Lularoe

White jeans: Factory Connection

Black maxi dress: Amazon

Red maxi dress: says [stitch btween] on the tag, I bought it from a friend

Kimono: Amazon

Cognac sandals: Target

Pointy pumps: Old Navy

And these are the 10 outfits that I created and wore the last 10 days:

Black bag: Target

Cognac bag: Factory Connection 

Cognac belt: Ross Dress for Less

White necklace: Amazon

Tassel necklace: Amazon

Baltic amber necklace: Inspired By Finn 

Chickadee nest necklace: made by me

I enjoyed this challenge. Though as a mom, some days I didn't want to do it and one of those days I didn't get dressed until much later in the day.. I'm glad I chose to do the challenge on a busy week. It gave me that push to actually put myself together instead of staying in my PJ's again. Between dentist appointments, grocery shopping,  library trips, and vbs.. this mama looked fabulous.. especially surrounded with 7, some times 9, chickadees. (I watch 2 boys during the week) The best part about getting dressed when you have a capsule wardrobe is the small amount of time it takes to look like you spent over an hour getting ready!
