The Summer 10×10 (ten outfits with ten pieces)

Hellllloooo friends.

If you follow along with me on Instagram then you probably saw I participated in the 10×10 Summer Challenge that started July 27th.

What is the 10×10?

This is going to be my own broad definition, but the main goal is to choose 10 items from your closet and create 10 different, unique looks over the course of 10 days. Essentially creating a short term capsule wardrobe. (If you’re not sure what a capsule wardrobe is then check out this article from the Washington Post)

The 10 items I chose were (well actually 12 – as you can see above I switched out some of my shoes.)

1.) Striped Midi Dress

2.) Distressed Oversized Denim Jacket

3.) Perforated Heeled Mules 

4.) LOVE WINS graphic tee

5.) High Rise Cutoffs

6.) White Distressed Cropped Denim

7.) Gray Swing Tank

8.) Green Cargo Jacket

9.) Lemon Skirt

10.) White Oxford Button Down

11.) Black Sandals

12.) MIA Clear Sandals

Luckily for me, my work environment and dress code are relaxed. I imagine that this would be really challenging to do with a business professional wardrobe in the summer.

Truly, I was over doing the challenge by day 5 (haha). I like being able to wear whatever I feel like that day instead of having to stick with a few items. That being said, I believe doing something like this on vacation would be super helpful (this is coming from a chronic overpacker). Next time I go abroad I will probably pack 10×10 style and stick with versatile pieces that can be remixed + layered.

As far as outfits go – my favorite is definitely the midi dress with heeled mules, denim jacket and necklace (look #1).

Which is your favorite?
