We’ve partnered with Lee Vosburgh of the Style Bee in the past, and I’ve always been inspired by her 10 x 10 Challenge that encourages individuals to take a break from purchasing new clothing and find alternative and thoughtful ways to wear the pieces you already own. I decided to follow suit and plan 10 days of outfits with just 10 articles of clothing from my own closet.
10 pieces of clothing didn’t originally seem like enough, especially when hanging up, but in the end, really encouraged me to find creative ways to wear those pieces that I wouldn’t have thought of otherwise! I was surprised at how different each look was with the help of small accessories and simply buttoning up a top versus leaving it open. This is something that I keep in mind when designing for HDH–pieces that can by transformed simply by adding a sash to the waist, reversing the neckline, or tying a split hem into a knot for example.
I had planned each outfit for the 10 days ahead of time, so it was extremely easy to wake up in the morning knowing exactly what I was going to wear that day which meant less scrambling and more time in the morning to make coffee, mentally prepare for the day, and get to the studio, which was a treat!
