Winter 10×10: Last 4 days
I really started to get into my groove the last 4 days. After wearing most everything once the first half it was fun to mix up the pieces and try them in different ways. Here are my outfits for Day 7 – 10 (see the first 3 days, halfway point, and what the Winter 10x10 challenge is).
Game Time Friday | I wore this buffalo check shirt (similar) with leather jacket (similar) and jeans, adding the hat after listening to The Avett Brothers as I got ready. I thought I'd be too dressed up for my dad's game (he coaches varsity basketball) but the spirit section was dressed country as a joke to the opposing team. Ironically I fit in with students more than I ever have thanks to this look, haha. We went to a brewery to celebrate his win afterward. A Friday very well spent. :)

Winter10x10 challenge: Day 8 Sandra Dee Saturday | Days 7–10 | Brave Girl blog
Sandra Dee Saturday | My Mom got me this polka dot bandana before I wore my Day 6 Polka Dot Thursday outfit and gifted it to me this weekend. It's eerie how connected she and I can be! So I HAD to do a bandana again as it complimented my sneakers perfectly. I felt like a worse singing and more casual version of Olivia Newton John in Grease all day. I loved the all-black look with a bit of color and pattern. Casual for a Saturday hopping around town with my Mom looking at vintage home decor and getting a few new vinyls.

Sunday Road Trip | It was a drinking coffee until 2pm kind of Sunday so this look got half its wear. This was the FIRST time the entire challenge I wore this gray cardigan which is a sign to me that it needs to go in the Goodwill pile (unless anyone wants it?!). The color is why I avoided the entire challenge because I LOVE the fit. Probably why I've kept it so long without wearing it much. Any good ideas on where to find similar without a cool gray tone? Either way, this look was comfortable yet structured enough to feel put together as we made the trek back home after a great weekend with my parents.

Press Check Monday | My final outfit! It really doesn't surprise me that I went back to my tried and true for the last day – cozy sweater and comfy skinnies. I planned to wear this sweater with the suede skirt until I woke to SNOW and said F that. The outfit was spot on for a morning press check and co-work time with my friends Kherington and Ashley that I'm about to head out to soon! Never did I think I'd pair a beret with my duck boots but alas that is what this challenge about, yes? To surprise yourself and try things you normally wouldn't.

Well, my friends, this is the end of the challenge. I'm a bit sad, it's consumed me in the best of ways. I'll be back with a recap of my findings and all 10 looks a bit later this week. Thank you for cheering me on and providing feedback these last 10 days. It's reenergizing to know I'm not alone and to be inspired by my wardrobe and others' outfits!
