I decided to repeat the dress from yesterday because A) I never want to take it off! and B) by repeating that dress (plus the skirt from Day 6) then the first 10 days of this month’s one dress challenge also technically count as a 10×10 challenge. (If you don’t count shoes, which I’m not, since I wore the same pair the whole time anyway.)
If you aren’t familiar with it, the 10×10 challenge asks you to chose 10 pieces from your wardrobe and style only those for 10 days. I didn’t start off planning on doing the challenge (as I’ve mentioned here before, I’m not into capsule wardrobes, just creativity within constraints) but I like that I inadvertently ended up doing the challenge. I also looked back at my looks from the last ten days and figure I could probably style another ten looks out of those pieces. (Hmmm, I think another blog post is in my future.)
To mix things up a little from yesterday’s outfit, I opted to layer in a black midi skirt and keep the polka dot dress open so that it functions more like a duster. Plus, I swapped in a different Contra Composition necklace that’s actually a little bolder. (And even though this month’s challenge is all about that striped midi dress, I wouldn’t be surprised if this black and white dress makes at least one more appearance in this challenge. I love it so much!)
