After all the fun I had with the one dress challenge back in January, I decided to tackle it again for spring! So today I’ll be kicking the challenge off by introducing a new dress and a new set of rules.
In the first round of the challenge, I really didn’t love the dress, so I didn’t even count the dress by itself as an outfit. But for this challenge, I’ve chosen a dress that I really love, so I’m counting it as a look by itself. (With a statement necklace, of course! More on that in a second.)
Because first I want to talk about this dress. Even though I love it more than the dress I chose in January, it’s going to be an interesting choice this time around because it’s definitely not as versatile. There are no buttons, zippers, or wraps, meaning I can literally only wear the dress one way. So this month’s challenge will be all about creative layering.
Since this dress is a little more challenging, I’m not really giving myself any other specific rules for the challenge. (Other than I have to style it differently every day!) I’ll be mostly working with pieces I already have in my closet, but if I see something that will work with this dress, I’ll totally buy it!
But what I have decided to do is showcase a different Contra Composition necklace with every outfit. I’m a big believer that a striped top needs a bold necklace in order to stand out, so I’ll be pulling from the boldest necklaces in my line. (It also gives me a good excuse to get into the studio and make more necklaces, because I don’t currently have 30 different Contra Composition necklaces available!)
Just like the last time, I’ll be documenting every look here on my blog and on my Instagram, so be sure to follow me there! (You can also click the image at the bottom of this post to get a weekly roundup of my outfit blog posts via email!)
Today’s featured necklace: Contra Composition Necklace No. 26, available in my online store!
Hi Megan,
I love this idea. I really like your Spring stripes. How did you decide what shoes to wear?
