Anyway Jane reminded me of my favourite event the Capsule Wardrobe Challenge. For those of you uninitiated in this annual event the challenge is to choose ten items of clothing from your wardrobe and mix and match them for five days between Monday February 14th and Friday February 18th. You can have any combination of shoes, dresses, skirts, tops and jackets as long as it adds up to ten individual items. You are also allowed five accessories which include jewellery, scarves, bag, belts etc. Underwear and hosiery do not come under the ten items and five accessories!
If you are up for it then please blog about it and if you want to appear in The Small Fabric of My Life's Capsule Wardrobe Challenge round-up the following week then please email your pics to workthatwardrobe@googlemail.com.
Go on...
Here are a couple of pics from bygone years. I give you October 2009
Old Wallis strapless dress, Gap stripy long sleeve tee (I have just killed it by wearing it nonstop for 4 years), LK Bennett belt and I also had an H&M black jacket. I wore the same shoes (old boots) all week.
Gap grey cashmere t-shirt, H&M white shirt, H&M sequin leggings, Topshop jade green coin necklace, Accessorise scarf, Toast bag and very old ankle boots.
Good luck with the Challenge and I look forward to seeing your outfits x
ReplyDeleteDear Kate, I wish I was better at things like this. I love the strapless dress with the striped top underneath.
ReplyDeleteWe must speak this week, hope you're good xx
Hi my dear-I will look forward to seeing your different choices on the challenge, you seem to perfect this so well, good luck!! xx
ReplyDeleteCool idea. It will be good to see how it all comes together during that week. Xxxx
ReplyDeleteI'm always v. impressed with people who manage to do this. I am absolutely pants at being organised enough in the first place to pull the right pieces together!
ReplyDeleteI always like reading these challenges, great fun! BTW Kate I did it finally - set up my little blog shop hopefully I can use the proceeds to work on my 'the top secret project' which I am feeling excited about, thanks again for the pep talk xx

This sounds really interesting, I need to revitalise my existing wardrobe so check out everyone's challenge attempts. I'm too scare to try myself as I think I would be rubbish at it!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to do this but i'm rubbish at putting together a capsule wardrobe....I might give it a think though!
ReplyDeleteI could never do this but I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with. xxx
